Yeah, you can blame the GM for that. Hardy was available in the 6th round largely due to serious off the field concerns.

He Was a 6thround round pick.. You take fliers and nothing in his past said he Was a women beater who liked having guns.. Show me what in his past said that..

He was suspended in definitely in college (turned into only two games because, well Ole Miss) and I'm pretty sure the reasoning other than "violation of team rules" was never disclosed but I have a feeling that most if not all NFL teams probably knew why and that probably played a big role in him lasting until the 6th round.

It was a bad pick! So before everyone claims it was a good pick....It wasn’t. Could have been a good pick! Coulda been an insane Hall of Fame pick, but it was a Sherrod Martin kind of pick. Both sucked and we’re out of the league in 5 years basically, just for different reasons

W tf are you talking about?? You just gave Gettelmen credit for players who only been in the league a year.. 

Come on dog... You are contradicting yourself and saying a whole bunch of BS.. 

If you're giving Bradbarry and Shaq picks credit for being good .. Then I can add way more to Hurney's list..

His entire high school and collegiate campaign was marred by poor choices. Look, Hardy was the original Vontaze Burfict. Everyone in the draft knew what he was capable of, good and bad. That wasn’t a diamond in the rough find! He did more harm to our franchise than he ever did for the good! Almost 14mil I’m cap space vanished because of him

Again none of that says choke women and throw her on guns..He was also hurt a lot which dropped him as well.. But Nobody saw that coming.. Not Hurney not Gettelmen not anybody..

I’m saying they are solid players/starters for how long they have been in the league! The jury is out on the remaining players. 

You act like I’m anointing Worley as a future pro bowler

We don't know what the reasoning for the suspension was. No telling what we should or shouldn't have seen coming. But, there were definitely some HUGE red flags for a guy with prototypical NFL size and athleticism with 39.5 sacks in the SEC to last until the 6th round. Gotta think he probably had to simply be off of a lot of draft boards for that to happen.

Meh, I sensed potential trouble from him. What exactly? Hard to tell, but I knew it could be bad enough to get him bounced. I had him failing drug test constantly, so he proved me wrong

Again I can add way more to my list if this is your set criteria.. and Again Hardy's  5 season meets that criteria

You still only spent a 6th round pick on him.. That's when you make pics like that.. And wait didn't we get a higher comp pick when he left?

But I wonder what we had to give up when we were forced to leave $13M in cap space on the sidelines when he got put on the commissioner's exempt list after he was franchised?

When a guy has enough red flags that the entire NFL is passing on him over and over and over again - even teams like the Bengals and Raiders - it's a really good indication that you probably should too.

    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
    • Then please take a vacation from the team.
    • In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
