So I got about 70 votes on the Mike Minter poll, so wanted to follow up with a second poll. This Hall of Honor fascinates me as I am extremely happy that this franchise will finally be honoring their past.

now my question is, do you believe mike Rucker and Charles Johnson deserve to be in the Hall or Honor? Both were career long panthers who fought for the number 2 best DE in franchise history.

i feel like people are getting too hung up on all time greats. The hall of honor is not meant to honor the best players in NFL history. The point is to honor the greatest panthers of all time. I’m not saying both should be inducted, But am more curious on your thoughts.

Neither, we can't go putting in every good player. Hall of honor is for the true greats!

If we are talking retired players only, who are the true greats? The following are already in:

1. Steve Smith

2. Sam Mills

3. Jake Delhomme 

4. Jordan Gross

5. Wesley Walls

then I think it’s fair to say the following get in:

7. Julius Peppers

8. Ryan Kalil 

9. Muhsin Muhammad

and a majority of Panther fans voted yes to get him in

10. Mike Minter

anyone else you would include to those 10?

10. TD and 11. Olsen when they retire. After that, Cam and Luke. Everyone else is to young currently.

Guys like Rucker, CJ, Minter, Stewart, Gamble, Wharton and others just aren’t quite Hall of Honor players. If you say one of the guys I just listed should be considered then you can make the case for any of them imo.

Long time team captains with pro bowl success should be the baseline for HoH candidates.

neither. Rucker has been honored in the fact that he is employed by the Panthers.

We can’t just go putting literally every player who played their career out with us and (by our standards) was above average to good/great.

Most importantly, as a courtesy heads up- when you do a poll which uses checkboxes to allow multiple selections you don’t need to use “Both” as an option.

Remember that for the next time you do a poll on whether or not your favorite above average players deserve to be in the hall of honor.

How many teams can you retire from?

All that takes to surplant that is a 1-day contract with the Panthers. Many players have come out of retirement before - this would just be for a day. Either way, Steve Smith is a Panther.

I'd say yes to CJ, no to Rucker. Ruck only had two double digit sack seasons in his career. CJ had a five year stretch where he was one of the best DEs in the league only missing five consecutive double digits sack seasons by one sack in 2011 and 1.5 sacks in 2014.

Kasay will most likely be in the next class. Leading scorer in Panthers history and 15 years with the team.

      Garrett Wilson is doubtful

      Same-ish here, 12 team league with only 1 TE spot, but we have a WR/TE flex spot as well.  Most teams carry 2 TE's with a few who actually carry 3, so yea, not easy to get quality TE production in my league. The Vikings weird usage of Hockenson is killing me, he's gone multiple games where he doesn't have a catch through 3 quarters.  Then when they're playing from behind in the 4th, they'll just dink and dunk to him a bunch of times for chunks of yards and end up getting close to 10 points in the end.  Why not just use him all game if he's so effective in the 4th? Gonna plays Taylor though, I figure they won't put Horn on him until/unless he is making a bunch of plays, at which point I'll probably have my points out of him by then anyways.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Agree with your premise basically completely, though I might move some people around - especially the vets at the end... Goff and Mayfield look like centerpiece players now, and Darnold I'd say is around the top of the complimentary. Daniel Jones is still unknown.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      If I had to parse it out, there's still a good to bad scale for both the centerpiece QB and complimentary types.  The idea isn't that they're all elite, but have the traits so that the teams are built for them, rather than them just being inserted in.  Some just don't lift the team enough, others do (Allen/Mahomes/etc.). But it can be a gradual process (not always instant) where maybe they started as complimentary early and grew into a stud the team eventually built around. Centerpiece: Josh Allen Patrick Mahomes Matthew Stafford Lamar Jackson Joe Burrow Justin Herbert Jayden Daniels Drake Maye Dak Prescott CJ Stroud Trevor Lawrence  Caleb Williams Jordan Love Kyler Murray (worst of this bunch) Complimentary Brock Purdy Jalen Hurts Dillon Gabriel Tua    Unsure So-far: Jaxon Dart Michael Penix JJ McCarthy Bo Nix Cam Ward Vet who was inserted and then sorta built-around: Jared Goff Baker Mayfield Sam Darnold Daniel Jones
