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.

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

10 years from now-

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

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.

      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.
