Olsen joining Davis in return and retirement

Not that I think he’s done and I’d love to see him get back to form with a more normal off season and some actual NFL talent around him, but if Cam were thinking maybe it’s time to give his body a rest and sit at home counting his millions, it would be epic if he joined them on March 11. Three of the main architects of what success we had for a decade

I cannot believe we had all that talent and no ring to show for it.  These guys deserved better.  That's six Ring of Honor players right there, and probably two gold jackets.

Just out of curiosity, which 2? My rank, I'd say that Khalil was top 3 centers in the league for a long time, Olsen set several TE records playing, TD was the best feel good story in football, AND produced on the field. Luke and Cam were superstars, but had relatively short careers (I know, I know cam is still playing, but as a shell of his former awesomeness). CJ was a stud, but so are a lot of players.

Shame the NFL had to cheat them to give Peyton Manning his retirement trophy.

The problem is we didn't surround them with enough talent. 

There's a reason we've never had back-to-back winning seasons despite being able to roll out a lineup like that for 5+ years. They can't do it all on their own.

I believe Luke and Greg are the ones who will make it.  I hope that Luke's short career isn't held against him because he was CLEARLY the best MLB to ever play the game.  With Greg, he has the 5th most receiving yards by a TE.  Three straight 1000 yard seasons.  I don't think there should be any questions there.

Cam is hard to predict.  His passing stats are not even close to HoF, but his rushing was important.  He's a QB.  How does that get weighed?  If they take his rushing yards and TD's into account, I think he gets in.  If they don't, he won't make it.

Kalil was a great Panther, but he isn't close to NFL HoF caliber.

TD is just in a crowded room.  Wilber Marshall, Cornelius Bennett, Lance Briggs, Bill Romanowski and Ken Norton JR are all in the same sort of area as TD and none are in the HoF.

What it feels like to have an actual football team. How far we have fallen. I look at the Canes and then at the panthers and minus a handful of players i'm like what the actual fug is Tepper + GM + Rhule doing.

    • If you're not playing you can't be considered bad. Aaron Rodgers didn't play either. I'm just saying I watch a LOT of NFL football and I can't recl anyone not named Jimmy Clausen who looked worse.bim not just talking stats. I'm talking about judging talent. A guy can put up ugly stats and still show flashes of the prerequisite talent. That's what was disturbing about Clausen and Bryce. They just flat out didn't look like they had NFL QB talent.
    • I'd argue that not being able to beat out an incumbent starter despite being drafted in the first round could also be quantified as a "bad" rookie season.  Still, 12 of those guys played more than 10 games as a rookie.  Again, Im not saying hes a world beater here, in fact I'd wager he's more likely than not to be another name on this long list of 1st round busts, but I also don't think he's even close to being the worst rookie QB since 2000.   Brandon Weeden - 15 games  Josh Rosen 14 games Paxton Lynch - 5 games Kenny Pickett - 13 games Trey Lance - 6 games, starts  David Carr- 16 games  Joey Harrington - 14 games Patrick Ramsey - 9 games  Kyle Boler - 11 games JP Losman - 4 games, no starts Matt Leinart - 12 games  JaMarcus Russell - 4 games, 1 start Brady Quinn - 1 game, no starts Josh Freemen - 10 games EJ Manuel - 10 games  Jake Locker- 5 games, no starts Johnny Manziel - 5 games, 2 starts Sam Darnold - 13 games Dwayne Haskins - 9 games  Zac Wilson - 13 games Mac Jones - 17 games (probably shouldn't be on here, actually had a solid rookie year)
    • A lot of those guys barely played as rookies.
