Hardy interview w/Schefter, full interview on page 17

Not sure why he did this. Now the media's lighting him up for "lying straight through his teeth" and "not showing remorse." Won't affect his chances of getting signed somewhere but only hurt him in the public eye. I don't think he's lying though, and I think our team's response in the aftermath before the Ray Rice video came out supports that. His situation is not comparable to Rice's or any other DV situations, and I think it's completely unfair to call him a "woman-beater" even if he did cause some of those bruises on her arms (as he said he and his friend tried to restrain her). Still hanging on to a thread of hope that we re-unite Monsters Inc. by bringing the Kraken back for peanuts, but I know it's not happening.

"I never hit her"

Well, now how can you explain those bruises? 

"I never said I didn't do something wrong"

 

The fug Hardy?

He wasn't responding to "how can you explain those bruises?" Schefter started it out by saying that Hardy claimed to do nothing wrong and that he's innocent, and Hardy responded to that by saying he never said he didn't do anything wrong, but that he is innocent. Hardy's clearly a dumbass and brought this on himself. However, I do not think he's a woman-beater like everyone in the public is making him out to be.

I might be in the minority, but I do believe he is innocent. I don't believe for a second that he threw he on the futon or in the bathtub or whatever. You just listen to the 9-1-1 call and that doesn't jive with all the mannerisms of the call. He is like "Get this crazy coked-out bitch out of my house, PLEASE!".. 

Then watching the live twitter updates come through during the trial - I felt it was a wrap until the sentence was handed down and was floored.. Yes, he was stupid to be in the situation, but I never thought he did what he was accused of.

No doubt amigo.  As long as he's unsigned and JR remains pissed off at the other owners and the fact we lost in February I'm not giving up.  Same "crime" would have gotten him a game or two before the FUGGING RICE VIDEO (remember the now joke of a 6 game DV rule was AFTER the incident).

I have consistently said that the bruises/marks are consistent with someone trying to restrain someone, not beat the poo out of them as has been pushed by many. If Hardy wanted to beat the poo out of most people, he could do it. Moreover, but for that unfortunate incident, Hardy doesn't have a history of beating anyone, much less women. That's just the fact of the matter.

The truth of that night is nebulous enough to give him the side eye, but not enough to label him as a woman beater in my estimation. If you're going to label him, call him a dumbass. But that doesn't warrant a lifetime ban from the NFL.

ITT, idiots will still want Hardy back in 3...2...1...

Just to clarify, I don't think anyone wants him back to teach Sunday School to Junior.  But he's done his time, would play like a man possessed, would be the best bang for buck in football, and would take the 2016 Panthers from best team in the league to unstoppable juggernaut.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
