Look Hardy is a naive player who basically got money laundered, that said I like the mans demeanor on the field and in the locker room.
However, if you let Kevin Hardy walk it gives room for a Billy Manziel and/or an RGknee but even more excit over a Draft guy like Nkemdiche who physically looks & dominates like the next Aaron Donald or dare I say - a man named Sue.
Nkemdiche looks and plays
NOTHING like Aaron Donald. That's about the most self-serving exaggeration I have read in here since the season ended. Donald had two seasons with double digits sacks as a full time DT and two seasons with double digit tackles for a loss. He also had 42 and 43 tackles his final two seasons. He looked like a man child and regularly threw blockers on their ***** and beat double teams. Nkemdiche had his career high of
3 sacks this season as well as his career high of
7 tackles for a loss and has never had more than 28 tackles. Nkemdiche is overrated enough without comparing him to a guy who was potentially a once in a generation type talent. I won't even go into the Sue hyperbole...
Moving on, I think it is in the teams best interest to keep Greg Hardy as a player. he certainly didn't do anything to warrant a huge contract this season, but could regain his form with another full offseason. If that is the case, it would be an absolute coup. I don't like him as a person and he wasn't as advertised this season, but if he regains form he is worth the deal he
should get.
