Sam Mills?! fug yes! Finally! Finally! Other teams asshole fans can never use the "Put a player in the hof first, then talk Panther fan!" bullshit argument ever again!!!

You kinda have to go Mills over Greene. Greene was a very good player, but Mills was legendary both on and off the field.

This is a stacked class with Favre, Warner, TO, and Faneca all being first timers on the ballet.. Don't think either of these two make it this year.

[Kevin Greene]

Excellent!

I don't know, I really think Mills has a shot at making it in. Won't be surprised if he doesn't, but the "inspirational" narrative is going to carry him far, me thinks.

I don't think Mills will be first ballot but I think he has a good chance down the road.

I am moved to near tears to think of the magical season we are having and then to heap on that the thought of Sam getting his due...

[L-TownCat]

I love SM like the rest of you but KG led the league in sacks, attitude and hair.

Swag was to the moon with Greene.

But Mills the OP (Original Panther) got his own statue.

 

i don't know!! I can't make up my mind.

 

edit: I just realized that while my team is about to go 11-0, I have to struggle with which Panther great I would rather see enshrined in Canton. 

Ain't life grand?

sam mills has not shot at the Hall unfortunately. he definitely won't make the next cut. Kevin Greene has a much better shot.

Sam Mills was part of one of the greatest LB corps in history when he was down in NOLA, was a premier player when he was in Carolina, went on to be one of the more respected posistional coach around the league, and since his death has become one of the central figures in a team's culture. That's to say nothing of his actual battle with cancer.

He has a definite shot, and a much better one than Greene ever will.

Why Geene isn't already in the HoF is a mystery to me.

I am not arguing who is better. All I'm saying is that if you think mills has a much better shot than Greene, then your just haven't been following the process. This is mills 1st year as a semi finalist. This is greenes 6th. Greene has been an actual finalist multiple times. Many have predicted him to make it this year. Greene is top 5 all time in sacks. To say mills has a much better shot than Greene is not just flat out wrong, but ridiculous.
