Let's not throw too wide a net here, guys.

Honors like this are not for the good or the great, but for the elite. If you start putting too many people in here, you might have to "expand" the Ring of Honor to its own building.

Remember, the team is expected to be around for decades to come. You fill up the Ring of Honor now, do you have room to honor the players of the future?

It's the same reason we don't retire the  number of every player who had a good career with us.

Agreed. Smitty and Pep will end up in the HOF. I really like Gross and think he was elite for us, but will not end up in the hall.

Pep and Gross. I would rather wait on Smith or even not at all. Smith was a great WR but not what we should uphold as the best about our organization because of his character flaws, which were and are deep.

If Steve Smith is not in it then you might as well not have one. If he didn't play with that chip on his shoulder he would not have been as great as he was. 

Smith can't hold Peps jock as a player and a person.

See, here's where you have to start talking criteria...

Wanna compare the athleticism of Sam Mills and Luke Kuechly? Uuuhhh...no. But Sam Mills was exceptional for other reasons, and anybody who would question why the Panthers hold him in such high regard probably deserves a kick in the nuts.

Ask who's the better linebacker between the two of them, though? That's a valid discussion.

So is being an elite level player enough, or so you need to have something more?

      Deebo wants out of SF, and our current odds are high

      By frankw · Posted

      This is from 5 months ago. It was one or the other. Trade for one or draft one. We apparently called the Jets about Wilson. We also talked to the Seahawks about Metcalf. Drafting our own guy was the best course of action given the required investment. Regardless now is the time for Bryce Young to produce. We are fourth amongst all teams in cap spending on the OL. Back to back first round picks at WR and multiple young TE draft picks now. Very solid and respectable backfield. New pieces across the defense. The time is now.

      That was just the worst time to have their worst game of the season. One key deal was the broncos guess the Panthers would NOT change any plays or flow to the game. Another key point overlook that bronco defense was truly one of the best in the NFL history. It was the best defense the Panthers faced that year, by far. They were not ready for it, but broncos were ready for the Panthers. Mix in that bad luck, poor refs showcase, and this is the golden boys last game........ Panthers needed to win by 20 and the broncos defense was not going to allow that.  Panthers were the faviotes and I believe they also thought that it was going to easier than them destorying NFC playoff teams as they marched to the SB. I've heard darin Gantt say the play calls were to give remmers help, but for some reason the team never did it. During the year they never had that problem, so maybe never practiced giving help via TE/RB, or WR chip. Cam was superman that year, no need for any adjustments...... Until you meet a legendary defense with studs at all levels, Think about it, Peyton was throwing wingless dunks for the whole season, the defense had to carry his corpse to the SB. That's how good they were, no many defense are able to get to the playoffs and win a SB without decent QB play. If you recall the beginning of that denfese took Tim Teblows and his non-throwing arse to the playoffs couple years before. That's insane the level of defense needed to overcome.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      Who cares if he paid for such small benefits out of his own pocket? The NCAA is a joke. They need to be offering such anyway, especially for Uber rides (which actually seems like a good idea).
