Hardy seems like a player that would give you a much higher rate of play if you just keep feeding him remarkable, incentive laced one year deals! Don't let him get fat and lazy! He believes in himself enough to shoot for the moon....let him have the chance. Multi year comfort deals will spoil him to render him ineffective

The only reasons I see us tagging Hardy for is either a) They are working on long term contract with him right now and just tagging him for temp to make sure he doesn't go on to the FA market next month. b) We are tagging Hardy and preparing to trade him to another team right now. I just don't see us tagging him just to keep him one more season and then let him walk next season. That would be stupid. We have was to many needs to be filled for us just to use 60% of our cap just keep Hardy around one more season. There has to be some reason behind this long term. I'm hoping we find out with the next few days to week from now before FA begin.

Personally, I would rather just let him walk this year and use the money to shore up our immediate needs. Cam has done a lot to make up for a porous OL and weak receiving core. But Heaven forbid he should go down running for his life, because the next man up won't be able to do what Cam does. Sometimes you're better off just cutting your losses and moving on. Just my .02

Im in the minority here but Hardy just strikes me as the type that will take it easy once he gets paid. If he gets paid dont be suprised to see a big drop off in his play. You can save this comment and revist it midway through next season.

 

Agreed, but less likely on a one year deal! The day he wants a high dollar multi year deal is the day he walks.....he strikes me as one that will become invisible. 

 

That said, one of two things will happen with this tag:

 

1) He plays his ass off for landing a multi-year major deal or

2) He fakes an injury all season and plays 2015 contract year off his 2013 merits

I hate big money contracts. Just look at players that get big money deals and see a huge drop off. Vick, Stewart, Peppers, Beason. Keek and Cam are the only two players I can say with 100% confidence they wont get slack after getting big money and are truely driven by winning. Hardy seems to be the exaxt type that will stop caring after a big money deal. I just dont trust him like that.

Wish we could trade Hardy plus a 3rd to grab Clowney. Hardy is a better player at this moment, but we'd still be good and it would sure would save us a lot of money.  Texans aren't dumb enough to do it though.....maybe we can pull the trigger on that if he's still on the board when Cleveland is up.

Just no. If we can trade for a top 5 pick, its instant franchise tackle. then a WR at 28. That's the ideal.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
