It could be worse. We could have extended Hardy for big money before the season.

Phew, now that was close. I praise Gettleman for not flinching and signing Hardy to a big contract. I really hate to say I told you so, but I believe most in here will remember my post a few weeks ago titled "Why resigning Hardy would be a mistake." And boy oh Boy im glad Gettleman shared my thoughts.

Imagine how much more mad we would be now had Gettleman extended Hardy for a 40 million or so contract. Yes we are stinking it up now, but alteast we dont have another big contract tied up in another overrated (yes I said it, OVERRATED) player from the Hurney era. Hardy is ok but put him on a team stacked with pro bowler DEs and hes the backup.

Man Gettleman is a pure genius. He knew not to sign big money to these Hurney players because he knew many of them simply arent worth it. Now I hope Gettleman really gets the ball rolling and blows this team up, get rid of the lingering Hurney/Fox stench and start over fresh.

yeah he's been pretty disappointing so far

He definitely took plays off and gave effort the final drive which was too late, agree, once he gets a nice contract he'll become lazy.

I was right when I said resigning Stewie was a huge mistake and I was right about Hardy. Extending a player for a big contract after just one year of good play is downright foolish. I would much rather pay bigger money if the player has another good season then extending a player with pne good season and hope and pray it works out.

And just think, Hardy is in a contract year and stinking it up, Imagine if he already got his big contract.

But he dunked on an 11ft goal?

Even if Hardy is as good as people say he is, he's not worth the money. Not extending him was a no brainer. We need that money elsewhere.

Hardy overrated.

Greg Hardy was up until 3:30-4 am at Uptown Cabaret on Friday night....

Lifestyle does impact play on the field

[Lloyd Christmas]

How many sacks has he got so far (toward his 50 sack goal)?

[CardiacCats]

I've always thought he was incredibly overrated on here

[PhillyB]

how the mighty are fallen.

[Wanderlai]

Clowney may be our other bookend anyways. 

[Zod]

Its not his fault. He practices in camp with our offensive line so it gives him a sense of confidence that he is amazing.

 

Then he goes against a legit offensive line and is disappoint... like me.

No sacks yet but im not writing him off yet, Manuel was getting rid of the ball quick majority of the game and avoided pressure when we finally got to him. Nobody on the d line has a sack yet but CJ anyway.
