Greg Hardy> Julius Peppers (right now)


Awesomeness!!

Recommended Posts

As an SEC fan, maybe its just my..bias towards SEC players, but Greg Hardy was the steal of the draft. If you've ever seen an Ole Miss game (you probably haven't) Hardy plays every since play 100% He faced doubles all the time and still has an impact on a lot of plays. Julius Peppers is done. He is paid up, and doesn't care anymore. Hardy will have 7 sacks this year. Write it down.

I think he was a steal, but he has the exact same rep Peppers has.....doesn't show up every down nor is he as freakishly talented.

Totally agree! I am recent Ole Miss alum and have watched Hardy's career closely over the years. The guy is an AMAZING athlete, and when healthy, was the best pass rusher in the SEC, I'm totally serious. One of the most common things I heard from people about him was that "this guy doesn't even work and he is this good." If the Panthers coaches can motivate him to work like any average NFL DE, then we will have ourselves a more than adequate Peppers replacement. I think this is a great place for him to mature. We have great defensive coaches and great leaders on the defense for him to learn from. Get him into an NFL caliber conditioning program and he will have no problems staying healthy!

    • I think we have some revisionist around it here because of all the drama around Tepper's involvement. If you pull up any scouting report from the time you'll see the same take. WalterFootball's report sums up the media's thoughts on him well: "Young has everything the NFL is looking for in a quarterback except in terms of weight and height." He was the consensus top QB of his draft and the only real question mark they had about him was whether his body could hold up in the NFL. The infamous Steph Curry comparison the Panthers latched onto came from Albert Breer. The excuses I've heard for him are more anecdotal. Bryce Young's development is the only bullet point most NFL fans have on the Panthers right now. That and the coaching turnover. If you're not actually watching our games it's easy to believe this is just a dysfunctional organization that doesn't know how to unleash this talented Heisman winner.  I've seen media and fans alike run with that narrative way more than criticizing Young outright. Whenever we win there's flocks who use it as proof that the Panthers just need to be patient.  
    • So maybe 1-3 vs playoff teams, going by standings as of today. I guess that is an improvement.  We are just about improved enough to be in purgatory draft wise. It really isn’t so bad in the 1st unless you really want that top QB or maybe edge guy because there are usually plenty of good players at the top but it hurts you some as get deeper in the draft.
