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.

    • the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me
    • Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.
    • And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
