I'm still sticking by Hardy's side.

I've been a huge fan of 'The Kraken' since he came here. He is looking at his 3rd year where it's time to show a boom or bust for a draftee. Given that he was taken in the 6th round, it's low risk, high reward type material.

I began this thread after reading numerous threads and posts giving Hardy crap for sack numbers and run deficiencies. When will everyone learn that sacks aren't the only stat available for pass rushers?

So, in search of his stats I came across this article. Yes, I know a ton of you hate an inferior site. Regardless, it's two games towards the end of the season...it shows the versatility of Hardy and the misconception that most will derive from simple stats.

I thought it was a good read...

He was a gunner on punt teams under fox but I don't remember if he did it last year

I thought I did see him in ST. Well he does a lot for the team. Personally I think he's doing great. I wouldn't mind another DE though. Keep him fresh with CJ as well.

I also believe he will have an amazing year next year, once we fix that interior line.

For all the crap people have talked about his play against the run, they wouldn't be saying much if we had DTs that were worth a crap/occupy blockers/don't get pancaked. He's made several great plays against the run that I remember, but it's hard to do that when you get guards double teaming you with tackles after they pancake a 300 lb. DT.

People also fail to realize how many passes he deflected (IIRC he either led the league for DL or was 2nd). He is gonna be a good one.

      He's a free agent next year actually. Wish we had the balls to bring him in to compete, looking around the league though he might get a legit starting offer or at least an offer to compete somewhere that he would control his own destiny.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      I don't love Bryce Young.  I DO understand his abilities as a QB. I dont expect him to do things that are beyond that. I also dont hold it against him.  The ability to throw 40 yards in with the velocity to take your receivers hands off, doesn't have the impact on the game as people think it does.  I think it's a pretty silly thing to even attempt to debate, when the ones crying about it doesn't add context.   Bryce can and does throw deep.  His last TD to T-Mac was a thing of beauty,   and the ball placement was incredible,  especially for the distance of the throw.  I get it y'all want to talk all day about his physical limitations, rather than look at what he does, and does well.  We wouldn't be playing meaningful football in December without him.  That is a fact.  Bryce doesn't fit the mold of my type of QB, but I don't hold that against him. That is beyond stupid.
