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.

    • I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.
    • For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
    • Wouldn’t mind Tyson. Definitely prefer him to Sadiq.
