Just how good can Greg Hardy be?

This.

He has God-given talent, plus a desire to succeed.

Some guys like Randy Moss and Julius Peppers have the talent to be the GOAT. But they have no desire.

Hardy has the potential to reach Jerry Rice or Reggie White status

I don't even know if it's a desire to succeed as much as a crazy mofo out there trying to knock someone's head off. He seems to genuinely enjoy the game of football and plays with a gladiator mentality. Luke shows the same passion, though not as crazy.

Like I said, I wouldn't go all ape crap over his stats. It's the way he plays the game - a mean, crazy SOB that will knock your QB into oblivion if given half the chance. A crazy cat like that on the DL, plus a crazy cat like that at MLB (check with Luke), and a crazy cat like that at Safety (still looking for that one - man I miss Chris Harris) makes you dangerous at all levels on defense.

I was really digging Hardy all season, but it was that game where he was crying afterwards (can't remember which) and you could just tell he was putting everything he had into it... followed by him calling out the Failcons and talking smack all week leading up to the game, claiming we were the better team... and then proceeding to shut their offense out for the entire first half.

Yeah, I'm a Krakenite now.

This dude is legit. Maybe crazy as fug, but legit nonetheless.

In the draft, if a gm can hit 35% of the time with impact players, he is doing good but 50% then you have a genius. So Burney wasn't bad he just didn't know how to value players which cost us to.lose out in fa.

Compared to most GMs, Hurney drafted very well in the 1st round and the last couple of rounds. In pretty much every other aspect of the job he was bad.

      It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt.

      That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
