Cowboys 'No' on Hardy

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Has anyone seen what was in this article?

I just remember that Fisher was the one that was reporting he had sources saying that McClain 'quit' back in TC. Given the type of player and the self righteous sanctimony that Fisher is known for, I take his report with a grain of salt. He is likley talking to Dalrymple and that is it.

I havent seen any other source say we have said no

So Fisher is still asking fans about Hardy. Why would he do that if he was so sure he wasn't going to be a target?

the cowboys may have changed, but not making any splash at all will never be their MO. not when joneses own the team.

i expect one of them to at least get a hard push.

He is there to generate hits. That is about it.

I agree. Thats why I'm not really moved one way or the other by his "news". I've followed him for many years when he was Mavs centric and he's been wrong on many, many personel related predictions for them. Fans on his Mavericks fan forum will attest to the same. He's also much more well connected to insiders of the Mavs and the NBA so that makes his faulty reporting for them even more suspect. I think people should take anything he says with a grain of salt.

This is what Fish has at his site

I obviously know all about http://**click-bait**.com report on 'no' on Greg Hardy; I edited the story.
BUT:
The longer he stays on the shelf, the more I think they should re-think this.
And the more I think they will.

Hmmm, sounds like someone trying to backtrack. Maybe because he subsequently got some contrary info.

I agree. They can't break the bank for him but if they can get him at a decent price they should. He would change that defense more than just about any other single player would.

If you could pick only one who would you prefer?

Hardy or Peterson?

Assume cost is exactly the same...just for giggles...neither requires a draft pick and both command same salary

Hardy is younger
Defense in more need of help
But hardy does have legal issues...could miss games this season and behavioral issues could have him miss more time in the future

Your choice?

Hardy and Gurley for me. I like that much better than Peterson and Odighizuwa which are basically the options fish us asking fans about.

Sounds exactly like backtracking to me.

Here's some more attached to his Peterson article.

Wait a minute ... Hardy? Aren't the Cowboys out on him, as detailed here exclusively on **click-bait**.com? That is indeed the position up top, as detailed in Mark Lane's story. But at some point, we think Hardy -- behavioral issues and all -- merits re-examination the longer he sits on the shelf.

Hardy. I can find that RB much easier than an elite pass rusher.

Hardy.

And this is from someone who's been beating the drum on Peterson for months.

The fact is that there's a bigger difference from Hardy to what we don't have a DE than Peterson to what we don't have at RB.

Exactly how I feel on the situation and I would like Peterson as well.

Agreed on Hardy rather than Peterson.

And given that Hardy is one of the few elite FA's not to sign yet, I'm wondering more and more if the big offers aren't there and his price is falling. Probably wishful thinking on my part, but everyone else got gobbled up so fast that something sure could be up about why he's still available. Maybe Fish is right (can't believe I just typed that) with his "...the more I think they will" comment and the Cowboys aren't out on Hardy yet.

I think the big offers just aren't there because everyone is waiting on the league to announce whats going to happen to him.

Breaking NEWS: I just went in to the liquor store to buy a bottle of Jack Daniels and the Liquor store clerk told me to tell everyone at the Zone to relax as Jerry has a plan.

He told me he wished you would have picked Maker's Mark instead...

Possibly that's it. That may mean he's going to wait awhile, since the league hasn't given any indications publicly that they're in a hurry to clear up his status.

I sure hope not. He's the one hope I have left that this pass rush can be fixed this season.
