Good work Kats! Interesting London asked that about Hardy, as I somehow watched quite a few ECU games during Hardy's career, and his YAC ability was possibly the first thing that stood out to me. He just seemed to always turn out something out of nothing... So, even watching him last season, I kind of hoped we would find a way to bring him in.

And I guess this kind of indicative of his YAC ability as well, but as I watched him in games, I never knew his measurables. But watching the way he played, he always struck me as a big, strong receiver. I never thought he was blazing fast, but he was definitely athletic, quick, and strong. Additionally, he looked really long and wiry to me,and his hands always stood out... Part of why I thought he was a much bigger guy than what he actually measured out to be pre-draft. I was actually shocked he was under 6 feet, as again, when I watched him and judging from his appearance and playing style, I assumed he was around 6-2 to 6-3 and 220 lbs.

Regardless, I definitely could see the Hines Ward comparison you made. He is physical and plays a lot bigger than his size... He is a scrapper and is just always making plays. Listening to Proehl's comments earlier in saying he was never big on measurables, he just wanted ball players that can make plays... Imo, Hardy is exactly that guy, and I would love to have him in the middle rounds. That would be huge value.

That being said, i still want a burner as the #2 before that lol.

 

your last sentence is exactly how i feel.

      PFF Best Deep Ball Thrower Award

      This is what I mean. I am not some huge BY fan. I honestly don't look at QBs the way a lot of you guys do. Right or wrong, I've always looked at them as just another cog in the machine. Didn't want BY or even a trade up for a QB in 2023. We saw in the Super Bowl how important the rest of the team is on any given Sunday. Now... so PFF, who has no reason to prop up BY, says he's first in 2 stat lines and Panthers "fans" are arguing why it's either wrong or a made up stat just to make BY look good. Even though they have multiple stat lines where he's literally last in. Like 32nd in the NFL. Some he's even lower than 32. Take a step back. Try to objectively self analyze. This is just not sensible.  Same thing I see with other teams' fans and their QBs though. We analyze every single throw on every single play. For every other QB, most here are only using highlights to judge. Makes a difference. We saw Stafford miss throws when they played Carolina - both games. We saw Love throw crap up when they played Carolina. We saw Dak miss throws when they played Carolina - and Pickens was putting on a SHOW. We saw Josh Allen win a game with 163 yards passing against Carolina, but if BY does it he's crap and can't pass for 200 yards. Gents... come on.

      None of us think we're contenders this season but no reason we're doomed to 5 or 6 wins either. Dan has to have another 2025- like draft class and at least 2 key free agent signings. We're not Seattle but they don't win without 5 starters from their last 2 draft classes and Darnold and Lawrence in free agency.  Alas,  we'll have to wait one more season for a QB upgrade.

      I've got nothing else to say really than: Ayup. Here we are again. Again.  All we can really hope for is progress. If we improve as much again, it'll be good. If we don't, it'll be foretold.
