Looks like 89 didn't make the finals for NFL Hall of Fame this year.  His career stats are stellar, he was clear team leader, and deserves the recognition, right?  Did he piss off too many NFL honchos, does he not resonate outside Carolina, what's the deal?

The problem is the first ballot Hof thinking being the best hofers. I theory there is no such thing, but in reality it is so the voter are tougher the first year.

So this year it is Smith vs being close to the best ever. Next year it is vs the other guys.

Still shitty, Delhomme throw stuff up for grabs for the receiver to do the job and that was the best QB he had for any time. His numbers are absurd given that.

beat up too many players during training camp?????

Johnson was a part of one of the most infamous scraps in the NFL and made the cut. So likely no… 

 

I personally believe it’s because the league likes to crap on anything Carolina related.

Honestly both Torry Holt and Andre Johnson are head scratchers getting the nod over 89. I could make an argument against Reggie but his numbers are at least closer to 89. 

Reggie Wayne - 1070 Rec 14,345 Yards 82 TDS 6X Pro Bowl 1X All Pro 1 Super Bowl 

Andre Johnson - 1062 Rec 14,185 Yards 70 TDs 7X Pro Bowl 2X All Pro

Torry Holt - 920 Rec 13,382 Yards 74 TDs 7X Pro Bowl 1X All Pro 1 Super Bowl

Steve Smith - 1031 Rec 14,731 Yards 81 TDs 5X Pro Bowl 2X All Pro 1 NFL Receiving Triple Crown

I don't want to hear poo about Super Bowls with Calvin Johnson not only getting in but getting in 1st Ballot. Even if that was the reason then how do we justify Andre Johnson getting a nod over Smith? 

Are we going off pro bowl selections now? Is that or is it not a glorified popularity contest?

Obviously I'm a homer and I'm not going to pretend that I'm not... but trying to look at this objectively - It just doesn't make a ton of sense to me to be honest.

Each team has a sportswriter who speaks on behalf of their candidates as the field is winnowed down to the finalists. Steve's record is among the best ever. I can only think that this year our team's representative didn't make as strong of a case or some internal politicking squeezed him out. Doesn't seem quite cricket that he was there last year and not this year. 

And next year, won't Julius Peppers be eligible? Which one gets the better speech on his behalf?

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
