Who should get the next statue - TD or 89 ?

[Pants]

No athlete has ever come back from 3 ACL tears on the same knee and gone on to play at a higher level that before the injury. The epitome of Keep Pounding. TD all day.

Retire #89

Statue #58 and retire #58 too I guess

Peppers has 9 total pro bowls, 6 all-pro teams. He should of been a pro bowler in 2014 when he dominated for the Packers. Should have been first team all pro in 2008. Should have been 2004 NFL DPOY. Shoulda coulda wouda, regardless he has more impact and dominates games more than Kuechly. Pressuring and sacking the QB, interceptions, passes knocked down or tipped which some end up getting intercepted by teammates, forcing and recovering fumbles, scored 6 career defensive touchdowns, blocked 13 kicks. Luke is great, but he has a ways to go to etch his name into the history books as one of the greatest ever, could get there though one day for sure.

Luke still on a more impressive pace. 

as far as more impact on games?  I wouldn't say that.  Peppers could take over a game in a way few defensive players can.  Like he was a video game cheat.   But he was the same dude who would go invisible in one on one vs dudes he should dominate all game.  Luke definitely has been more consistent in how he dominates .   

I agree Luke has a ways to go and just because someone is on a great pace....doesn't mean it holds up.   Which is why I put my money on either Luke or Cam emerging.

Both are great players. Hopefully they lead the Panthers to the super bowl this season.

but I am glad Pep is back.  Dude is the original freakshow.  Here I am thinking about what Luke can add or Cam....and Pep given out DT play, despite being old, could do freakish stuff this year. 

I mean almost feel like there is no doubt he easily blocks a kick, picks off a pass, scores a TD and sacks a dude.    Who can you say that about.

TD should get the statue. Statues are for exemplary people on the field and off. Smith was a great player but he punched teammates and trashed the team after he was cut. He doesn't deserve a statue.

Why the hell do you guys care so much about statues and other useless crap like where guys retire?

Theres only one thing that matters and that's Super Bowl's. Without a SB a statue of anyone is a bit much

have you ever heard of Sam Mills? it does mean you have to be a lifer. it means you were a great man and player. which TD is

He might be the exception as the first, and since he was a Panther for as long as the team had existed that might explain the exception.  
Not trying to argue, I just recall that being the rule today.

I'd like for both to have one. But...and I know this doesn't answer the question directly...can we get them in the ring of honor first? Can we get anyone in the ring of honor besides the PSL owners.

TD.....He has been a Panther for his whole career.

[electro's horse]

TD's statue is already made

TD. Same as others say, I love Smitty.

But I can't think of anyone that has personified the "Keep Pounding" mantra more than TD. Coming back from 3 ACL surgeries? Come on man! Playing at a Pro Bowl level too. Natural talent but that's just an incredible work ethic to come back.  When you add  his leadership and what he's done in the community, I just don't see an argument.

Right now I'm worried about some college kids tearing them down thinking Jerry is some kind of slave owner.

TD, for being the definition of having heart. He never gave up after 3 ACL tears and he should get it for playing in the superbowl with a broken arm suffered in the NFC championship game. Most players would have sat out and understandably so. TD has heart, talent, great locker room guy and just a great person period.
