Yes and there's a logical answer besides him being the best WR in our franchise's history.  WR's today wear numbers in the teens (which completely chaps my a$$) and obviously we will never roster 9 TEs, so there will be plenty of available numbers in the 80s for future TEs to choose from if #89 is retired.

58?

He’s on the teeter of it and a casualty of being too lenient with it. 51 gave us keep pounding, 89 was our best WR of all time, 90 put us on the map and is a future first ballot hall of famer, 59 might be the best defensive player of all time for the franchise and 1 is our only league MVP and made us look better than what we were for 9 years. 58 is a fighter and key part of the franchise and has a spot in the ring of honor but I can’t see us retiring his number and then opening the conversation for guys like Gross, Mushin, Gamble, Khalil, Olsen, etc

No brainer, any objections are asinine 

Let me preface by saying I think Smitty was a great player and will be in the HOF.

 

But the question I have is what does a retired Jersey represent as a Panther.  If it is a great player, team mate and person you want representing the values of the team then Smitty shouldn't have his Jersey retired.  

 

If it is just for his heart fire and playing of the game then yes.  But can you look over his actions with teammates?

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
