They we speculating on who it could be on the facebook post...  I'm sure Smitty and Pep are in there, but the guy he was talking to sounded like he had a bit of a a southern drawl and only guy I could possibly think of was Hoover.

Southern drawl? That was a deep-ass voice...had to be Peppers.

That voice had to be Pep. 

Stewart in his retirement speech alludes to 89 being involved in something awesome coming up. 

So I think those 2 are easy calls.  They also are the 2 most likely actual HOFers.  

So I think the expansion is just those 2.   Anyone else added then starts a debate with so many more folks IMO.  So if you argue a Kasay or Gross or whoever too many others can be brought up now and later that are or would be comparable.

The first group should be Peppers and Smith with them both getting statues and their numbers retired.

After that they should honor Delhomme, Gross, Kalil, Rucker, Minter, and Muhammad. No jersey retirement or statue.

They should also consider Stewart, Walls, Greene, Bates, Kasay, and Charles Johnson.

Keep retired numbers and statues a small group. Future HOFers (Peppers, Smith, Cam, and Luke) and people who define Keep Pounding (Mills and Davis).

That's way too many people. I get where you're coming from, but we can't add everyone to the hall of honor. 

Honest question, how many people do other teams have in their hall...especially the ones that have been around a lot longer than the Panthers have?

No statues. The only other player I would consider getting a statue would be TD due to his very embodiment of Sam Mill's message to Keep Pounding.

c'mon... you know Smitty was all about that Keep Pounding. Dude was the the most motivated person we ever had on the field, and he came back from pretty bad injuries too.

First ballot HOF. He deserves a statue, and so does Pep.

TD doesn't deserve a statue, and never will. Hall of Honor? Sure. When he retires.

      Sure, there's definitely a chance that a fire sale in 2022 could've paid off but I don't think that's a certainty. It's not just about stockpiling the picks and bettering odds; it's about hitting on those picks, having a stable coaching staff to develop them, and keeping the locker room engaged. We didn't exactly have a model front office nor stable coaching staff in 2022. It's worth noting that part of the reason that DJ had to be included in the trade up for #1 was because the Bears needed an immediate, proven WR1 to help Fields. It was him or another immediate first-round pick, not a future one like what was being offered for Burns (whom teams knew that things were shaky with and that they could afford to wait). As for the Eagles, they recovered because the foundation was already in place. Pederson got flak and was ultimately fired (and was just fired again this offseason from the Jags). Their recovery was quick because the foundation was already in place: Howie Roseman and a solid roster (that included a stacked OL, a second year QB, and a veteran defense). Philly had a margin of error that just wasn't available to Carolina. I'm not against using the draft to rebuild, but a full-on teardown comes with real consequences: fan disengagement, a fractured locker room, poor development, a losing environment... and I don't believe that we had the necessary leadership at the time to cleanly navigate it. That's a gamble that I want no part of.  Now that we do have a staff that seems to be in complete alignment and building for the future rather than fighting for their jobs, I'm more inclined to observe their process and see where it leads rather than backseat driving with "perfect" hindsight.

      I see it a bit differently considering there is only 20M in cap space. Given how many of the premium positions are on rookie contracts their cap should not be nearly maxed out. Tillis still has a lot of work to do before these rookies will need a second contract.
