well, I hoped the tier of player would have been limited to the 89/Pep caliber of player. 

Got nothing but love for the Jakes of the world here in Carolina but that opens the door down the road for this to include TONS of players.

I think Jake is the exception

The week one back up who lead the Team to its first Super Bowl in its 9th season of existence 

The expansion Jags ,Browns and Texans  would love to say that right now

There is another Hall dedicated to the tier of player that Smitty and Pep represent.  We need to honor Panthers legends, not just NFL legends.

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.

Greg and Stew also.

The list is pretty heavy on offense.

Any other defensive guys? Minter? Ruck? Beason? CJ?   Just musing aloud.

Nah. Minter, Ruck, Beason, CJ do not belong in the Hall of Honor.

Id say the same is true with Stew and Kalil.

We can’t open it up to every good player we have. There needs to be an echelon of achievement. Kalil and Stew just don’t have that echelon.

same with the defensive dudes you mentioned. Plus if they were gonna be inducted at least one would have been on the inaugural list.

      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.
