I vote No.....

I think that the suspensions of Ro and others, if anything keep this door shut completely closed on Hardy. The way this season is starting is sounding like an exact repeat of last year. Let's not further complicate it with another head case.

Sure, bring him back, trade for Pac Man Jones, coax TO out of retirement, then sit back and watch.....

Don't like to speak in absolutes but I feel comfortable saying...Not gonna happen.

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

not sure what makes this a rumor, sounds more like a thought based recent turn of events. We knew of Lawrence and Gregory's situation long ago so would've thought this "rumor" would have surfaced weeks ago. In any event, I think this is a situation where my mind and heart are in agreement......no, this organization needs to stop selling its sole to the devil. Other winning teams aren't being built on desperation. We've learned the hard way it involves smart moves in FA and developing talent through the draft.

Knowing what I know now, I think Hardy would be subtraction through addition.

TO had issues, but he doesn't belong in that group.

No.

But, it doesn't have to do with his alleged 'woman beating' incident because he didn't beat her. There's a reason why that conviction was expunged from his record. Just like the DA stated...he wasn't comfortable with what his ex-gf, Holder, stated in her testimony versus what she told police and the evidence.

It has more to do with Hardy allegedly drinking too much and missing meetings. Although one has to wonder if the Cowboys are making some of that up to get rid of the PR nightmare and simply because the FO and Garrett cannot be trusted.

The FO and Garrett seemed to be okay with McClain getting suspended and showing up out of shape. Or the failed tests by Randy Gregory and Demarcus Lawrence. But, when Hardy says he plans on coming out guns ablazing, that's where they seemed to draw the line on what to be concerned with.

The facts are that Hardy likely didn't do anything to Nicole Holder. But, the facts are that the Cowboys as an organization cannot handle the bad PR that comes with that accusation just like they can't handle habitual pot users in order to get them to stop smoking weed.

Exactly. The team had already taken the PR hit but the fact is that what made Hardy a dominant DE was in large part from effort and he didn't put out the effort in the second half of the season. If he was a bad influence on guys like Gregory, Irving and Russell on top of that - there is very little chance he returns.

No.

Next question.

 

[slick325]

No need to rehash the case. Dallas parted ways with Hardy based on how he conducted himself while in Dallas.

 

[Doomsday101]

Bring back Tardy Hardy? I don't think so.

 

[Cowboy06]

No. no....no.... It has nothing to do with him beating women. He has issues which he needs to resolve and resigning him will only foster his beliefs that his actions are acceptable. I want him to get help as a human being and so that he doesn't hurt anyone else. So please don't resign him. If the coaches and scouts are good...find those hidden gems and coach em up...

Sorry I know that's oversimplified, but it's my vote.

Leave ALL references to DV out of this thread please. I could have benched one for a personal insult and another for a religious comment. We are not going to continue to police these threads in a user friendly way if this persists. You all know how these have been treated before.

If you wish start a thread in the off topic zone while continuing to observe all the rules and guidelines as well as having common sense.

Sorry but that ship has already sailed and sunk. The power structure in Dallas has already steadfastly committed itself to ridding itself of Hardy. They've already done what they could to resurrect his career and it allowed him to create havoc within the organization.

It simply isn't destined to reoccur. Let's face it -- that sick misfit has already been exiled, more than likely never to compromise this team and its organization again. They did the right thing in so doing, imho. He's already proven himself the poster boy for being the Wrong Kinda Guy.

On the field Hardy didn't make us that much better to justify paying him what he would cost, which his price tag is probably getting lower by the day. But bottom line is our defense was not good last year and Hardy was supposed to be the game changer and he wasn't. In fact of all the suspensions the only one I am really worried about is DLaw. Gregory gave us nothing last year, so missing out in his 0 sacks isn't too big of a hit, McClain seemed to only want to be on the team on game days and even then it didn't seem like he was into it. Hardy disappeared after November.

I feel like guys like Hardy and McClain are bad for the locker room. They're bad role models for younger players. And for that reason I say we part ways with McClain now and never entertain the idea of Hardy again. We experimented with Hardy last year and it didn't pan out.

These aren't the droids we're looking for, move along

No to Hardy.

Yes to Jeremy Mincey, George Selvie, and Henry Melton. I want to party like it's 2014 again!
