A Hall of Fame question you probably haven't thought of

"First Panther to make the Hall of Fame" is a question that gets thrown around a lot.  General discussion revolves around guys like Steve Smith, Julius Peppers, Cam Newton, Luke Kuechly, etc.

 

But what about these two names?

 

Jordan Gross

 

Ryan Kalil

 

While I wouldn't necessarily bet on either of them being the first Panthers to make the Hall of Fame, both have been legitimately discussed as being the best at the NFL at their respective positions from time to time.  Those are the kind of offensive linemen that get mentioned when Hall of Fame voters talk.

 

So my question: Will either Gross or Kalil merit Pro Football Hall of Fame consideration?

 

If not, what do they lack?

How about Thomas Davis, I'm his biggest fan, I know he does get recognition for his achievements but to play at the level he does after what he has been through is unprecedented

No. Linemen don't get recognized unless they have numerous Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections.

 

Like Kalil and Gross?

 

Watching older games and seeing Kalil and Gross play really makes me appreciate what they do/did. One of my favorite plays with Kalil was Cam threw an interception and Kalil just knocks two defensive linemen to the side and tackles the guy who intercepted the pass.

I'm a brit by the way, I understand hof is reserved for the very top, but do they ever award on (not quite the word I know but) nostalgia?

I always thought it was more for those who had an impact on the game. Like TO who has amazing stats I doubt he'll get in because of his personality.

They both may get in, but it'll take some time.

 

I have another name for you all to consider. This guy has better stats than most of those at his position who did get in the HOF, certainly better stats than the first guy at his position to get in.

Uhmmmm...

 

Jordan Gross - 3x Pro Bowler, 1x AP First-Team All-Pro

Ryan Kalil - 4x Pro Bowler, 1x AP First-Team All-Pro, 1x AP Second-Team All-Pro

 

So what was your point again?

that's not enough all-pro selections or pro bowl selections to get into the hall of fame.

linemen would need at least 5 all-pro selections and equal or more pro bowl selections. Even then some with at least 5 still have a hard time.

John Kasay is statistically among the top 2 best kickers in NFL history when you consider number of kicks and length of kicks.

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      By KaseKlosed · Posted

      Young quarterbacks Drake Maye, Bo Nix, and Bryce Young have led their teams to undefeated records since October.   Drake Maye has guided the New England Patriots to a 5-0 record in that period, with 2,285 passing yards and 17 touchdowns in nine games. Bo Nix has directed the Denver Broncos to a 5-0 stretch, throwing for 1,976 yards and 17 touchdowns, contributing to a 7-2 overall start. Bryce Young, in his second season, has led the Carolina Panthers to a 4-0 run since October, accumulating 1,390 yards and 11 touchdowns amid a 4-4 record.   Undefeated QBs since start of October (min. 4 starts)   Drake Maye 5-0 Bo Nix 5-0 Bryce Young 4-0   Bryce Young when asked about his mindset during game winning drives: "You don’t rise to the occasion you fall back to the level of your training."

      Most hated teams

      1. Cowboys-No explanation needed. 2. Rest of NFC South equally. If I had to pick I would say Falcons.    3. Eagles- Both of the games I have attended there the fans were so horrible. The fan base is so ridiculously misbehaved, I’ve never seen such immaturity. 4- Lions- I have cousins in Michigan that grew up Lions fans and they are some of the most obnoxious people I have ever met, as are all of their Lions buddies. The NFL has been lucky that Detroit has been in the cellar for its eternity.    5. Tie between Bears and Vikings. Both act like Steelers, Cowboys, Niners fans do with nostalgia and legendary seasons but neither have ever really had them. They act like they each won 5 super bowls in previous decades but never accomplished poo outside of Chicago in 85.
