What's unfair about this is my team had a great player. Great player also is slightly more stable than a nuclear reactor core in full meltdown, but between the lines is a beat. Wild accusations were thrown, player arrested. That should have been the end of it but nooooooo.

Later a player of another team knocks his then fiancée out cold in an elevator. Goodell collasselly fugs the pooch and gives the guy a weak punishment. World loses collective mind and goes bat poo crazy. NFL then goes all reactionary and has to "prove" that they give an actual poo about anything but money and crucify the first people they can in order to save face.

Now back to our great player.

Great player now knows poo got serious but has no idea, Goodell invents double secret probation list and sends great player away for the entire year. Justice system is so back logged it can't even hear the case for over 8 months. Case finally heard and is promptly dismissed.

Now what do the fans get?

Nothing. A useless jersey hanging in the closet as a retarded reminder of how fuged up big business is.

Talk about women's issues and domestic violence all you want but bottom line is this is all about money and public relations. Panthers fans got poo on by hardy, by holder, by goodell, by the team. Everyone.

We got the poo end of the stick. Period.

It's unfair to him because it will have impacted his future earning potential. He was deactivated for an offense he didn't commit. Whether he paid this girl off or not is inconsequential. I imagine if he did pay her off, it's because it was cheaper and faster than paying the lawyers to win the ridiculous case against him. It's not exactly the Ben Roethlisburger situation where everyone pretty much knows he did it and paid the accuser off to avoid a conviction. I hope the NFL does investigate it thoroughly and comes to the obvious determination that Hardy didn't commit any wrongdoing and therefore does not need to be FURTHER (yes further) punished.

But he has his budding rap career to fall back on. Plus, 13 mil should set him up nicely for the rest of his life.

Hypothetical:

 

An elementary school teacher gets arrested for sexually abusing a neighbors child.  Between the time of his/her arrest, the teacher's spouse buys a lottery ticket with the winning numbers and the couple become millionaires.

 

The parents of that child come to a monetary settlement with the elementary school teacher, move from the area, and can no longer be easily found.  The criminal charges are dropped.

 

The school system fires the teacher.

 

Is this discrimination/

 

 

Sure it would be discrimination,the school teacher was not found guilty of the charges. Just because someone is accused of something, they are not considered  guilty until they are legally tryed and found guilty by a court of law.

A suspension still likely in Hardy's future once the NFL finds out about the terms of the settlement, imo.

Moral of the story: when being accused by a female of doing something bad, even if there is no evidence, you are guilty until proven innocent and it is morally imperative to destroy your career and punish you not only during the trial, but after the courts dismiss the claim.

      I believe in bryce...

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
