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.

      Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

      By CPcavedweller · Posted

      I wouldn't be opposed to trading for Sanders and seeing if he could be developed here. We have zero plans, and I really don't think it would take Sanders long to produce more than Bryce has. Plus, he's on a 5th round rookie contract and if he became the guy, you instantly have three years to build a core of talent, much of which we already have.  I get flamed for this opinion but it is what it is, and I've been right about these type of things the past three years.  I said Nix would be a good NFL QB. Wanted to keep Darnold and trade down in 2023. Said QB play wasn't the QB's fault under Rhule, but rather the offensive design.  Give me Sanders in the room for a year with Bryce and Dalton, see what he can develop in to on the cheap. There are no really quality QB's coming out this year that aren't Allar or Manning, and Manning may not even be coming out.

      basically if the panthers trade Thielen they're not trying to win this year. I mean they're not going to regardless but this means its the plan not to.  no team is going into the season in 2025 with 80 career catches between their top 3 healthy WR.  you'd be turning this from a bottom 3rd of the league offense to like the nathan peterman bills pair that with a defense that is most likely going to struggle, and they're looking at 2001 again.
