Love it. It's a bit awkward having not put anyone in for almost 20 years, but I do hope Delhomme and Walls are the bottom tier of the type of player that gets in.  I used to go to the old georgia dome and have a nice chuckle at their retired jersey numbers. 

 

I am surprised 90 isn't in this group. 

Peppers wasn’t retired when they started discussing who would get in. Pretty sure he’s already on the list for the next induction.

Wish it was bronze statues outside the stadium. but nonetheless great to see them recognizing former players. need some players from the 90s. But this is a great first round. 

I think it's a good compromise for it just be Mills for now. Add more players and as we've seen here it opens up questions like the criteria, how exclusive it should be, etc. This way we can honor the great Panthers players without being a huge deal. And there's still having your number retired as like the highest honor.

Steve Smith Sr.
Jake Delhomme
Jordan Gross
Wesley Walls

 

I would think that this would only be open to retired Panthers, meaning a one day contract with Steve Smith is coming. 

Good list. I’d like to see a few more on there though.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
