JulioisCoolio Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Impending free agent RE Greg Hardy said he's not opposed to the franchise tag.Hardy is coming off back-to-back monster seasons for the Panthers, racking up 120 tackles and 26 sacks over the past two campaigns. He's also said he would be willing to give the Panthers a hometown discount on a long-term deal. The bottom line is that Hardy will not be leaving Carolina. There's no chance. A year after grading out as Pro Football Focus' No. 6 4-3 defensive end, Hardy checked in at the No. 3 spot in 2013. Hardy also dominates against the run.One DL down....

Duluth Dirty Bird Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Fun fact: Greg Hardy is a 6th round pick. Could you imagine if Goodman or Maponga turned out to be like Hardy???Only if TD could draft lineman, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought he could be one of the few that made it to FA due to Carolinas cap situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rootee Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Another player I really wanted TD to draft. Where did he go, the 5th round? When is TD going to hit home runs on several late round picks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duluth Dirty Bird Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 And how is Graham staying in NOLA? They're gonna have to cut 3-4 players to make the room for him and he's gonna be a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdogg Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Im so glad TD passed on him in the 6th. That was a big reach for Carolina. Im so glad we picked guys like Holmes in the 3rd. Great value pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdogg Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 30 other teams passed on him too.are those teams as desperate for a pass rusher as we are? im sure a few are, but we have been horrible at pass rushing for years. Car didnt pass, but we will reach on a scrub like Holmes in the 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdogg Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The same as every single team in the NFL. Not a single team doesn't have bad to terrible picks.when you trade numerous picks away like TD does, it gives you a smaller margin of error. You better hit on more late rounders when you are trading high picks away, as often as we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have swept us last season.We've been in the playoffs 5 times since the last time they've made the playoffs. Your arguments are so compelling...
