Hardys probably walking....what do we do to fill the void

We have all heard Hardys constant money song the last few weeks so I presume he is taking the highest bidder and bolting. What are our possibilities for a replacement,the guys we have left would be fine as rotational players in situational roles....but not starting. Do we draft a DE, use a mid round pick and hope we find a player? shoukd we sign a vet FA for a price and hope he has something left in the tank? Can they scheme around the loss and try to fill the void with blitz packages and hope that what we have will pick up their game (as I said,doubt these guys are starting material).Losing 15 sacks a season and numerous QB pressures will hurt,not to mention his versatility.It's the offseason so unless you want to talk NBA or NASCAR, then trying to find new subjects about the Panthers is tough. If and when he does walk this will suddenly be a relevant subject.

Not another hardy thread SMH! Look he's gone by all sounds of it so we will pickup a DE in FA if one is available if not I think they have faith in Addison Alexander and Horton with the logic of picking up one late draft, I'd like Michael Bennett but Seahawks will no doubt bring him back or Michael Johnson on a one year deal from bengals as he's a free agent, hardy is a success of a teams talented line and scheme not necessarily down all to his peformance.

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
