Greg Hardy only one attending DWill's mother's funeral

Deangelo Williams reported that the only person from the entire organization who attended his mother's funeral was Greg Hardy. Im listening to the radio today and they’re saying how bizarre that sounds.

 

The Panthers organization has done a lot to present itself as a family oriented team… as if we always take the moral high ground… unless… money is involved. This isn’t about how great a guy Greg Hardy is. But he’s certainly not the demon the media has made him out to be. This is about hypocrisy. Hardy has been vilified as if he was the second coming of Rae Carruth.

 

Its easy to make someone a polarizing figure. Its easy to make every situation black and white. I really see it as a blessing in disguise.  Maybe this information coming out will shed Carolina’s desire to continue promulgating  the illusion of moral superiority. You can be family friendly and still business savvy. Bringing Greg Hardy back is the right business move and the right thing to do... for the right price.

 

I know that there is little faith that Greg Hardy will be back… but you would think that by now, with DWill and Bell spilling the beans, that Greg would have said something about it by now.  Keep in mind that players are trying to fight for Greg Hardy to come back and now I think we are getting a bigger glimpse of why.

 

When we drafted Deangelo, I said, he will be the best back Carolina has had. He will have a better career than Reggie Bush.  Dwill will be missed, but it’s the move that they had to make.

Just putting this out there as a counter-hypothesis to your "Oh poor Deangelo and Hardy is a great guy because he's the only one that showed up!" hypothesis...

 

Maybe DeAngelo wasn't very popular and none of his teammates WANTED to show up.

 

Not saying that's what happened, but it at least counter-balances your lunacy with equal and opposite lunacy.

Dont miss what Im saying. I dont feel sorry for either guy. It was time to get rid of Dwill. This is really about how we have so often used our imaginary goodie image to prop up why we make certain business decisions.

 

There are plenty of hypotheticals for why no one else shows up.... whatever they may be... It only makes Greg look better, and the Panthers look worse.

 

Here's what we do know: EVERYONE knew about Dwill's mothers health problems. It was his whole reason for staying close to home in college. Her passing was well known and covered by the media. Rivera told him to take all the time he needed. Panthers organization obviously had an oversight in which other things seemed more important... but of all the people in the organization... Greg was the only one who wanted to find out about the arrangements??

 

What is more likely is that the other players already had plans in the offseason ... vacay, training, or whatever else they do in the offseason. The organization was preoccupied with the draft.... and the only guy..... decent enough to stop what he was doing, find out funeral arrangements, and make an appearance is the kraken.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
