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!

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By Martin · Posted

      If he’s fired, he might be our new DC. I always liked his defense in the past, a lot more aggressive than what we currently have. What’s everyones take on him as a potential DC for us?

      I think that depends on whether you think he's done developing. If he continues to improve as he has over the last year and a half for another season or two (especially with his deep passing) we'll really have something. I know there are questions about how high his ceiling actually is, which I think is the real foundation of the debate about him, but at this point I don't think it matters much because we're not moving on from him for at least another season and likely another 2 seasons. So wherever side of the debate people are on we all might as well sit back, root for the guy and hope for the best.

      Something Noticed on Game Sealing INT

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, watching the play, I didn't hear the whistle calling Latham down and was like "Oh poo! He just set the ball down!" I was really afraid we were going to have one of those "never live it down" moments where  a Buc comes by, snags the live ball and takes it in for a TD as if it was a fumble. Didn't even notice DB's absence on that play, but if he's regularly being pulled on third down, there may be some rest periods needed for the big guy. Looks like they still handled business, though, so maybe Evero has a better ear to the team than we do.
