This came up at the view party today:

At the very least, there are 4 active players on this team that WILL be in the NFL HoF.  

Cam, Kuechly, Olsen, Peppers.  Maybe TD and another one we don't quite see yet. 

That is INSANE.  We need to capitalize on the talent we have this season.  This is a SB squad folks.  Yes, we can be frustrating on offense given our style but when we're on, WE ARE ON.  

I feel we have too good of generational talent on this team to let it slip by the wayside.  The guys in the locker room see this year as a clear opportunity and I think a pretty great team is actualizing before our very eyes.   

This can be more special than '15.  I'll try not to overhype too fanboy-ey but let's just say, our ceiling is clear this year.

Pep yes.  No question.

Olsen is a strong maybe.  Dude has just owned the position prior to the last 2 years. 3 consecutive 1k seasons is damned hard to argue against.

Luke and Cam are TBDs.  They are both playing top notch football and a ring or two would make them locks but they are on the edge of being HOF players atm

Luke as of now is the only borderline HOF'er of the bunch.

Thats only b/c it takes more time to build defensive stats.  He's currently trending in that direction.

Cam would go in 1st ballot if he retired tomorrow.

Olsen may not be 1st ballot but will get in.

Pep is a stone cold lock.

Im tracking with your train of thought here.  I just think there is a significant bias against QBs without rings

Cam has the stats to blow anyone but the haters hair back.  Dude is a phenom.

 

I just think that sans ring Cam is a 3rd, 4th, or maybe 5th ballot kind of candidate.

He's too unique of an athletic freak to be denied.  Being a league MVP gives a huge edge as well (The list of MVPs not in the HoF is a smaller one)

You are correct on the ring bias, however, when you are a habitual record breaker (Marino comes to mind) rings weigh less.

Luke not a lock?!? Brian Urlacher made it?! Wtf?

Luke is in. He's the best in the game and very popular with the media. They love him.

Lock

100% agree Luke is a lock, but you throw out Urlacher's name like he was just some JAG who was lucky to get to the HOF. That dude was a STUD. 4-3 weakside DE size with strong safety speed. If it wasn't for the back issues he developed he probably would've had a career that put him in the conversation for best MLB of all-time. As it was, he still had a career that was clear-cut HOF worthy. Don't hate on Urlacher. That guy was the truth.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
