Who should get the next statue - TD or 89 ?

What's on TV is statues of Confederate leaders coming down. Bit different.

And it's not "those wacky college kids" doing it. It's elected city governments taking these statues down. 

Um, not in Durham it wasn't.

J/k yeah I remember those discussions. Guy was very important for the team for many years. Glue that held the team together in some rough spots.

I don't disagree with it.  

But based on our statue tally and pace we want them....my great grandson will show up to a game and there will be like 57 statues. 

Jerry's for some reason now has me turned off on them

TD, easily. Then Steve Smith. No Peppers.

Then let's stop building statues for a decade or so until we actually find a new player worthy of one.

To be honest in terms of talent and professionalism you'd have to say Peppers qualifies as the top candidate for a statue. He has the all time stats and has returned to repair his relationship with the fan base. 

Personally I will always say Steve Smith was a better WR than Peppers was a DE. However Peppers stats and longevity have him climbing the all time ranks. Smith is up there too but it is a log jam at WR 

I'd say both of them deserve statues. TD is the gold standard of a man. Smith carried this team for a decade and is one of the greatest WR of all time. I say both given enough time.

I love Smitty but, TD.

TD exemplifies what a Panther is.  Unsung, underrated but extremely powerful.  He is the living example of Keep Pounding.  Plus he has a great opportunity to get him/us a ring before he retires.

 

89 Smith, for the exact same reason (he had us in position to get a ring). Regardless of the things we/most dislike about him, it is exactly what our battle cry is, Keep Pounding, and he did on very play (not that TD didn't).

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
