Players don't represent teams in the HoF

I understand that they don't technically, but usually in their speeches and throughout the media hype up/ceremonies when they get into the HoF there tends to be an emphasis/focus on one team. The tweet up there showing a picture of Sam w/ a NO jersey is an example of that, and it should be a Panthers jersey/association considering his impact as a leader from day 1 when we came in as an expansion franchise and then the transition to coaching and his fight with cancer here and becoming the heart and soul and embodiment of the franchise, with Keep Pounding still being our motto to this day.

Agreed on his leadership and what he meant to the Panther Nation.  That said his impact in New Orleans cannot be denied.  Mills, Pat Swilling and the rest of the defense, especially the linebackers, put New Orleans in the Playoffs for the first time.  I'm sure you remember the paperbags and Ain'ts.  It wasn't until that defense came to be.  That New Orleans became relevant.

      You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.

      On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
