Carolina Panthers expanding Hall of Honor - 2019 Inductees announced

[ellis]

I’d like to think this is a once-every-five-years type of exercise. Doesn’t seem viable to induct a new class of names every year.

Side note: It’s pretty cool that Carolina is currently fielding several HOF locks/contenders. Plenty of time to baptize more names into the team’s personal honor roll.

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.

Kalil will go down with a more impressive career than Gross.  Both in terms of individual achievement and probably overall value to the team IMO.  Only Luke has more All Pro and Pro Bowl nods than Kalil.

Kalil isn’t even a debate. He is a lock.

Luke, 89, Pep, Kalil have the 4 most impressive overall careers in a Panther uniform as of today 

Cam is close.  QBs get hard to judge because they get an unfair amount of positives and negatives with the wins and losses.

I’d argue Cam over Kalil since he won an MVP, but you are correct. Each era usually produces 1 HOF center. If Kalil stayed healthy he would have been his era HOF center. Unfortunately he got hurt too much towards the end and retired young.

So Pep gets in in 20 years?

Jake running his mouth at Rodney Harrison after slinging the longest TD pass in Super Bowl history is one my favorite moments in life.

0 banners but hey we have 30 members of the hall of honor

Gross played a much tougher and more important position.

Kalil was better at his position than Gross was at his.  Simple as that.  And he has a better NFL resume because of that.  Like I said only Luke has a more accomplished career by NFL standards. 

I’m not knocking Gross.  LT is the toughest spot on the OL.  But acting Kalil is part of the Jon Beason or DeAngelo crew is just flat out disrespectful IMO to Kalil.  If Jake, Walls and Gross are in? Kalil is a lock

I don’t understand this logic. So in 35 years this team would only have 6 or 7 memorable players. I could understand not wanting to retire all these players numbers, which they aren’t. But the teams ring of honor should Celebrate the greatest panthers. The team should make a distinction by retiring 89 and 90. For hall of honor purposes players like moose, Kalil, Rucker, Minter, bates, etc. should be honored.

I said as of today.  Cam will defiantly be a lock soon enough.  I only said close because I don’t want to debate those that overly focus on record with QBs. 

Cam is the biggest game changer and most dominant player IMO that has ever put on a Panther uniform.   Not always the most consistent but...

and Luke still the best actual football player drafted by us.

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.

yeah!
