Hardy's Panthers workout "went very well"

Love Hardy. I said it in another thread, I think his floor is Julian Edelman and I don't even know what his ceiling is. A part of me wants to say a shorter Jerry Rice, but that'd just be hyperbole.

His FLOOR is Edelman? Cmon.

By NFL standards, he's slow and he's short. But that son of a bitch catches everything thrown to him. And he will outwork any person you put next to him.

 

Watching that kid grow up from nothing has been motivating...and to the OP that said he doesn't like ECU I don't really know or care why - but it's walk ons turned stars like Hardy and Carden that make me love the place.

He's a crisp, fundamental route runner and a great blocker. And like I said, he catches everything. What he does well helps hide what he can't do well. He's not going to break away from you, he's not going to create a whole lot of seperation in the NFL, and he isn't going to break tackles.

 

What he will do is work his ass off, catch a bunch of first downs, and Moss some fugers in the end zone because he's got long arms and big hands. He's also terrific at adapting to high, low, poorly thrown balls in the air.

 

I've watched every snap he's been on the field in college, you get what you pay for with him.

Jerry Rice ran in the 4.7 range, Edelman had the same time as Hardy, Welker ran over a 4.6, Antonio Brown ran a 4.47 a whopping .05 of a second faster. Threads like this remind why I'm so glad many of you have no say in personnel, we'd have a team that would be awesome at basketball and a track meet, too bad we're trying to field a football team.

    • It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly. 
    • If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
    • He had heart surgery a while back he looks Fraile I hope he is okay
