FitzShowUsYourTitz Posted June 26, 2010 Author Posted June 26, 2010 Oooops, read this part first: Bills WR James Hardy looked out of shape on the practice field at Buffalo's recent round of minicamps. Hardy blamed his lethargic practicing on offseason sports hernia surgery, which prevented him from working out for an entire six weeks. We're not doctors, but that seems like quite a long time to recover from a surgery that players can return from in a matter of 2-3 weeks during the regular season. Hardy continues to drop on the depth chart and shape up as a bust. Source: ESPN.com Here: http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playernew...t=NFL&rwr=1

BB-Gun Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 After reading the actual article, it seems someone is jumping to conclusions without much info. All they said was Hardy "looked like he was getting into shape." That does not automatically saying he is flabby and becoming the next Mike Williams. It does not say anything about his work ethics, or lack of either. Only thing concrete is Hardy had surgery this off season, which will not prevent him from participating in training camp.
Pirate Angel Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 the only way to get into football shape is by playing football, something he has done very little of since he has been in buffalo.
JinWPB Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 From the picks and video I have seen Hardy looks rock solid and beefed up from what I remember from rookie year. In fact I see someone who looks like a knock off of TO . Lets hope he can play like TO who took him under his wing last year.That would be a real return on TO's $6.500,000.

To compare Hardy to TO is absurd. Wake up dude!!!!!!
JinWPB Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 To compare Hardy to TO is absurd. Wake up dude!!!!!! I said his body reminds me of TO , not his play... but I'm hoping that comes down the road. Reading comprehention ,geez.....
mpl6876 Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 I said his body reminds me of TO , not his play... but I'm hoping that comes down the road.Reading comprehention ,geez..... Any comparison to TO isn't just. Hardy and TO shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence. Hardy has done NOTHING and I mean NOTHING for this team except one nice TD catch. He looked lost and dumbfounded on the field when he was healthy. He couldn't shed any blocks and he looked as "dumb as a rock." A better comparison is to compare him to a rock not TO.
The Big Cat Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 I said his body reminds me of TO , not his play... but I'm hoping that comes down the road.Reading comprehention ,geez..... Yeah, but even when it comes to body-type, a "TO" is few and far between. Not many guys are built like TO, and Hardy's physique is faaaaaaaaaar from comparable. Not saying Hardy doesn't have his own unique brand of physical tools, but he definitely doesn't have TO's.
commish95 Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 By looking at the Videos and reading what went on in OTA's, Hardy has done well
please stop the pain Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 I have nothing of value to say either. Clearly this makes me eligible to author articles and sometimes to comment upon them Furthermore I wasn't looking at TO's or Hardy's body
Pete Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 6 weeks of not working out after you are in great shape is not that big a deal. You get it back quickly. It said he had surgery after the season. If he has had time to workout since the surgery that is alarming if he is out of shape. We are counting on Hardy and he has a chance to be the #2
C.Biscuit97 Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 This Hardy thing is what bothers me about what fans are becoming. There are a good number of people who can't wait to call this guy a bust. It's like they are rooting for him to fail and they after he does, they can say they were right. Hardy is from a rough place and made some mistakes. He gets injured and wins the Ed Block Award for community service & spends all of last year learning from TO. Sounds like a guy to root for.
bigc14120 Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Slow feet.....never can get over than. My prediction is he will be a last cut......BUST.
Hossage Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 I am a hardy critic, but he looked to me like he has added some needed size. Please remember to ignore mpl6876. He is a troll, not a bills fan.

FitzShowUsYourTitz Posted June 28, 2010 Author Posted June 28, 2010 yeah...not sure what to think myself.....after I attached the link, I realized that the writer was writing pure opinion. My main 2 main concerns about Hardy are: #1: Coming out of college was: route running was not his thing. He was a raw talent that used his size to his get where he got. #2: He has not accomplished anything in the pro's yet. Let's hope he does. He needs to prove some things....this year, just to state the obvious. Wish we had some more proven talent at the position. Right now, I don't think many teams/secondaries are scared about our WR's. (And yes, I know we have RB's and some promising WR's on the roster. Let's hope it all pans out.
ACor58 Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 I am not too worried about it yet, if he comes to training camp out of shape he will be in the doghouse. Besides - 2011 will be the year of Stevie f'n Johnson!
