Hardy and Manziel are both guys about whom I fear someday seeing a story that they put a gun to their head.

Hope they can both get their lives straightened out, but I think the NFL glory they each envisioned is a pipe dream now.

Yeah I don't know about the suicide thing but Hardy definitely has self destructive qualities. In the article it states his high school coach is now the coach there. Seems like a "going back home" to find himself kind of a deal. Hope the best for him because even though he did a monstrous thing, he is still a human being. And our leaders like TD and Olsen showed when we played them that they still care about him. Which shows that one incident however bad it was isn't the full story on Hardys character.

No, but you definitely can't bring him back here.

Both of these are cases where I think they had dreams of being on top of the world and those dreams have come crashing down.  Rebuilding your life when something like that happens isn't easy, and yes both are self-destructive personalities.

Junior Galette signed, again, with the Redskins.  He's on video going Indiana Jones on a woman after numerous boneheaded decisions in his past.  I simply don't follow the Manziel comparison for many reasons.  John Clayton has stated no doubt Hardy will be on a roster this year.

That's the Redskins.  Not us.

We'll see whether he makes it to another roster, but there's zero reason to believe Hardy will ever be a Panther again.

Bruton signed with the Skins. 

Safety wise, Quintin Demps, Dashon Goldson are still available.  *Goldson is visiting Dallas.

One to keep an eye on that could be a DG special: Robert Blanton SS...he is a special teams ace and played some good snaps with Minnesota. He's from Matthews.

      Who are the top QB prospects for the 2015 draft?

      By 45catfan · Posted

      @ForJimmy--I watched his '24 highlights and there's a lot to like.  He's mobile, for certain, but it seems that's his default because he's so good at it.  Lots of RPO stuff.  He's slippery in the pocket, but too quick to vacate it.  I saw very few pocket throws into tight windows, which is the hallmark of an elite QB, especially at the next level.  Green is a playmaker, there's no denying that.  I thought his arm was adequate to above average.  I assumed a big QB like that would have a cannon.  Ball placement was also above average. He's an intriguing prospect, but I'm not sure he's going to end up a top 10 prospect and that's where we are most certainly going to be picking.  If Sellers doesn't come out, he's probably the next best dual threat QB.

      I was right there with you. I hoped for the best and tried to support once he was drafted. But the media created legend of Bryce Young the draft prospect was honestly like nothing I've ever seen. For a kid who didn't even play all that particularly great for Alabama (Mac Jones was the better college QB and it really wasn't close) he received an insane level of benefit of the doubt. From his supposed elite football IQ elite processing elite preparation elite field general abilities elite leadership yada yada the guy could do absolutely no wrong. Even when he showed up to the combine and hid out in a hoodie refusing to throw nobody batted an eye. And even after that he was still compared to current and past hall of famers in the NFL and other sports across the spectrum. If he didn't play for Saban and Alabama it would have been and would be right now completely different in the way he was and is perceived. But again. I've never seen anything like it for other prospects that I can think of in recent memory. Others have been dissected in some way or another. Maybe the only other comparison I would make would be Andrew Luck. But Luck had the necessary physical intangibles that Bryce Young very plainly lacked when you sit down and watch the tape. It was crazy then and it is still crazy now. 🤷‍♂️

      Yeah I didn’t remember how many guys were on offense besides him that were taken but did figure he was facing one, maybe two guys that would be drafted from whatever defense it he was playing. Then the out of conference games against smaller schools that are basically exhibitions, sheesh, you know they can feast.    The other thing is, out of those 62, how many really had NFL bodies at that point? Few of them. Most will be different players after a year of NFL training and body development. So you have to think about what the difference is. Even with the SEC guys that got taken, they will be better in the pros too. So when you factor all that in, and look at the Bryce tape and the Bryce pro day and whatever, I just will never understand why.
