[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1064221, member: 10086"] See I don’t wholly disagree and I openly hear what others speak to revolving Hardman. Matter of fact, in many seasons I might be against promoting him. However this year is different. We have a very good chance of going deep into Postseason imo. The Packer business model changes based on our “push” barometer. It’s entirely possible we begin to regress a little after 2025 based on salary cap and roster maturity and draft placing. Hardman is an investment in a Win now. I don’t blame others for disagreeing because I think on a long term approach that could be correct. Football ebbs and flows and part of winning is understanding risk. I’m not referring to intra game risk, but more so what I’d coin “Layered Roster Risk”. I’ll get into that another time. The 2025 season isn’t a time to bring along players with training wheels. I heard this same sentiment with Shepherd and countless other fan favorites and it rarely materializes. Again, Im not disagreeing with a long term outlook. I can appreciate wanting to bring young players along and there is a time and place for that philosophy. Heath or Melton should be on PS at best unless one of the blows up Preseason and I’m talking looks like a Beast. There’s time to revisit them in 2026, this isn’t that time imo. Together they don’t achieve the real time value that Hardman does, IF he’s healthy and motivated. I don’t pretend to intricately know that part, it’s up to feet on the ground to determine that. From 1000 feet Hardman is an obvious choice to pair with Nixon and maybe Savion as both a Return Team trio and contingency plan for postseason and bottom of the depth chart at WR. Lastly. Some posters keep referring to Mecole as a castaway. However GB didn’t think so, they immediately brought him in. Now the draft obviously continued the WR storyline. We can’t be afraid of walking away from anyone that doesn’t fit the objective. We’re in an unusually deep WR room there’s no perfect answer but to study the battle of the bottom. [/QUOTE]
