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.

    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
    • Then please take a vacation from the team.
    • In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
