Alphadawg7 Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Are you really going to compare back yard wannabees to the NFL.......Who else on the field that day would of made that catch. Lee Evans and every single WR in the NFL is capable of making that catch...you are completely kidding yourself if you think the WR's in the NFL are not capable of making that catch. Not saying every one will make it every time, but it wasnt even in the top 10,000 catches of all time... And a guy on my team last week who is about 50-50 on catching even a wide open pass made a catch that was way more difficult, and dam near impossible...like I said, he sucks...so the point was, one catch does not define skill. Ask D. Tyree about that who made one of the top 10 catches of all time in the biggest game of the year on the most crucial drive of the game against a great defender that led to the biggest SB upset arguably in history about that because he was cut the next year... One catch does not define skill...and just about every WR in the NFL could make that catch anyway...

You do realize that by drawing comparisons to guys in your Saturday, backyard lot football game is nullifying any point you may be attempting to make, yeah?
PushthePile Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 You do realize that by drawing comparisons to guys in your Saturday, backyard lot football game is nullifying any point you may be attempting to make, yeah? I agree, there is no way Hardy runs better routes then Alpha's buddies.
Dan Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 I agree, there is no way Hardy runs better routes then Alpha's buddies. Good point.
Clippers of Nfl Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Maybe. But if the guy was so good, his play would drive him to actually being on the field. HE's been supposedly doing nothing since he was injured besides rehabbing and (hopefully) studying. Conditioning back to football condition. Now that he's been active for the past 7 weeks or so, he has yet to see the field. Why? Can't just be coaching. And 1 game hardly makes a star, sir. Merry Christmas. May we get the new front office we so desperately need. good points. no one forgets the touchdown vs jacksonville last year. thats probably the only good thing he's done. we may never know if hes the bomb or a bomb.
Adam Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 The guy hasn't even had a full year in the NFL......cut the guy some slack.
Clippers of Nfl Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 You do realize that by drawing comparisons to guys in your Saturday, backyard lot football game is nullifying any point you may be attempting to make, yeah? true. but alpha dog is correct. any wide receiver makes that catch. difficutly rate was probably a 6.5. tyree reception in superbowl difficulty grade was a 10+ and he made it. best superbowl in a long time. i've caught some crazzzzzyyyy passes when i throw them to myself. (but not used in my logic)
Sisyphean Bills Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 NO! He's going for Allotey's record. NO!
ThreeBillsDrive Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 He hadn't had drop problems for awhile now. He and TE had a pretty good thing going for a spell. Reed's injury last year coincided with the beginning of the long decline after the 5-1 start. He and TE seem to have developed some chemistry.
DrFishfinder Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Here we go! Brohm to Hardy for more yards than the new national debt. Which is up to what now, eleventy pooptillion?
Spiderweb Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 Too bad about Reed. He is an excellent blocker for a WR, probably developed those skills while he was a running back. He runs decent routes, but drops a ton of balls. We need someone more reliable in the slot. Wow, one big drop it's again that he drops a ton of them....Before you write stuff like this, might you do some homework first. Let's recall the past 3 years approx, and the "droppsies- "ton"", simply doesn't ring true. Reed is a solid, albeit unspectacular player.
Big Turk Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 yay! He can go out there catch 2 passes for 12 yards and look clueless 90% of the time...
....lybob Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 T.O. and Reed are Free agents - you got to take a look at Hardy and Steve Johnson - so you can decide if you have to add WR to the desperate need list
The Senator Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 by that logic it makes Wes Welker terrible I LIKE IT!!! You may need to find a better word for run, a word like lurch come to mind Hardy would be running routes with the same discipline and precision as Wes Welker if he had the same mentor that Welker had in college, namely... Mike Leach
Alphadawg7 Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 You do realize that by drawing comparisons to guys in your Saturday, backyard lot football game is nullifying any point you may be attempting to make, yeah? hahaha, yeah I totally get that, but that was kind of the point. All I was saying is just about any schmuck who knows how to catch a football can make just about any catch at any given time. Doesnt mean they will always make it or that its the norm, but making one good catch does not define your skill set. Now if Hardy made lots of tough catches thats another story. But unfortunately, he made the one tough catch and then dropped just about everything else.
Lotterypick Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 Good move. Brohm had been throwing to Hardy (and Justin Jenkins) in practice so he's got to be more comfortable with him than anyone else. Also Reed is an UFA at the end of the year and I can't see him coming back. Why can't you see him coming back? With TO likely gone and them dying to get rid of Parrish, I think it's very likely that Reed will come back as a #3 or slot WR. he finds open spaces very well and will be relatively cheap.
MarkyMannn Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 Wow, one big drop it's again that he drops a ton of them.... WOW, WTF!! That play ties the game against a club we haven't beat this decade and you cut him slack? Got news for you, Moss and Welker make the catch
Billy in 4C Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 Hardy is garbage. If he is playing it is by default. He doesn't know how to run a route or use his body - probably the top two things a guy his size needs to be able to do. Put him one on one against a 5'9" DB in the endzone and he always loses. He is so awkward its embarrassing. I thought he was a basketball player who knew how to box out and use leverage, but apparently he was more of a slasher. Makes sense when you watch him on the football field.
MarkyMannn Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 Bad news boys and girls. Hardy doesn't feel good and might sit out. As long as he stays off the field, everyone will believe he has huge potential, as opposed to hitting the field and proving he is a dud. Just like Youboty The story is near the middle of the article
