It will be great to see these numbers next to the PSL owners and Mills.

Walls was before my time, but seeing Smitty, Delhomme, and Gross brought a smile to my face.

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.

So basically there was no criteria for getting accepted except you had to be retired. Wonder what they look at beyond that as far as whether someone qualifies or not. 

[sml1950]

The criteria is what Tepper decides  the criteria is.

Really good stuff.

Walls was a beast, glad to see that 96-97 team get a little nod.

[TheRed]

Happy for those guys. They deserve it.

Really hope we can make this a special season.

[TN05]

Great choices.

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.

[Wolfcop]

Man, those are great players and good men. Proud to be a Panthers fan today!

[rayzor]

Great choices. Peppers won't have to wait too long.

[Jimmy]

Great list.  Future guys IMO - Pep, Cam, Luke, TD, R. Kalil 

Maybe we could put a plague next to the Men's Restroom on the 500 level with D. Williams name on it.
