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.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By strato · Posted

      I admit it. Done it a few times but he had something in that video that I'll confess to.  First, never wanted him in the draft, and really was strongly against selecting him. I don’t really see anything that tells me I am off base yet. So I expect him to maybe look better but even so, her is the point: Donnelly asks if people that want him to fail? He has to kill it this year to get me off of that train.  I feel like him being average or game manager and like, the 23rd best QB if he improves.... I don’t want that again in ’25 and ’26. If our QB is gonna be mediocre, may as well take another shot at better.

      RUMORS: Panthers schedule leak

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      A write up on Panthers schedule from NFL.COM Carolina Panthers 2023 RECORD: 2-15 · NFC SOUTH: 4TH Carolina Panthers' complete 2024 NFL schedule Strength of schedule: .467 (T-29) Bye: Week 11   Three marquee matchups: Week 5: at Chicago Bears, 1 p.m. ET on FOX Week 10: vs. New York Giants, 9:30 a.m. ET on NFL Network (Munich) Week 12: vs. Kansas City Chiefs, 1 p.m. ET on CBS   Biggest takeaways: Bryce Young takes on Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix within four weeks. The NFL clumped together the rookie quarterbacks on the Panthers' slate in 2024. Young takes on the Bears' Williams in Week 5, the Commanders' Daniels in Week 7 and the Broncos' Nix in Week 8, giving us an on-field comparison of where the 2023 No. 1 overall pick stands in his development versus some of this year's crop. Heck, if something happens in Atlanta and Michael Penix is in the saddle by Week 6, Young could square off against four consecutive rookie QBs. Not only does the stretch give us a chance to see Young against his peers, but it also gives the Panthers a chance to make some hay against other rebuilding clubs, potentially.  Brutal stretch to close the season. New coach Dave Canales' club had better get off to a hot start, because the end of the campaign looks rough on paper. Coming out of a Week 11 bye, the Panthers play five of their final seven games against 2023 playoff teams, starting with Kansas City, Tampa Bay, Philadelphia and Dallas in consecutive weeks. That's a ruthless stretch for a young team hoping to gain momentum looking toward 2025 and Year 2 of a new regime. But if the Panthers come out with positive results, it will be clear that Canales has built a solid foundation. Shut out of prime time. The Panthers are the lone club without a single prime-time game on the docket for 2024. Carolina's one standalone match comes against the New York Giants in Germany, where they'll meet former Panther Brian Burns, a first-round pick in 2019 who was traded away this offseason. It's a bummer not to have any prime-time games, but we can spin this positively. Canales' young bunch has the opportunity to grow outside the limelight and pressure that comes with those night tilts. Learning to win is a big part of developing in the NFL. If Carolina can string together a bunch of Sunday afternoon victories, there will always be flex options for the league later in the campaign.    -- Kevin Patra

      I'm going to say,       NO.   Dude is a bust. He is going to make Ryan Leaf look like a good deal.
