Burfict is suspended for 3 games how is that not being a shitty teammate? Maybe outside of Dallas Hardy isn't a shitty teammate? Maybe he has been getting therapy? I don't know. I do know that we have done a fine job with troubled players though. I do know that a peace minded Hardy would make our line unstoppable especially if the Billings Ball gets rolling early. I do know that taking Hardy on would be a gamble.
I think I count as being of this world, and I do not think they lost that game for us whatsoever. Jeremy Hill did. Those two also happen to the best players on the defense, with one the most talented (Burfict) and the other is the heart and soul, most passionate LEADER of the defense (Jones).
I was one of the most vocal people against signing Jones, but ate my crow, and wrote a formal apology on here (I'm sure he cares) as I could not have been more wrong about the guy. To have Burfict even mentioned with Hardy is completely unfair. Burfict slid out of the entire draft, costing him millions, because he had a positive marijuana test (I think) and he was known for more than his share of personal fouls at ASU. It is like comparing a parking ticket to a DUI. One involves a bone-headed mistake that affects only that individual and costs him a bit of money, the other can put many lives at risk. Hardy is a first-class jackass that has not seemed to learn from his mistakes. I would want no part of him on this defense.
