Top 5 panthers of each 10 year period

[NAS]

Top five Panthers for each of the 10 seasons (last one being only 8 so far). 

Choose players based on performance with Panthers, their influence on the organization.  You can only use player once, can't repeat in another era.  This was tougher than I thought. 

1995 - 2004 - Sam Mills, Kevin Greene, Wesley Walls, Muhsin Muhammad, Kris Jenkins

2005 - 2014 - Julius Peppers, Steve Smith, Thomas Davis, Jordan Gross, Jake Delhomme

2015 - 2022 - Cam Newton, Luke Kuechly, Greg Olsen, Ryan Kalil, Christian McCaffrey

That's a pretty solid list there. Maybe Jon Beason? John Kasay possibly? Your choices were very solid and all guys I would have included too.

Jake should be in the first group. He went downhill after 2003.

I'm thinking he belongs just for the 2005 season alone with Smitty

I couldn't make a list like that. Id feel bad leaving a few out. I'm not objective enough.

Better question is who is the GOAT Panther?

 

I think Juluis Peppers if we talking impact and talent. 6'7 280 dude was something at his peak.

Luke?  If a guy is considered one of the top 2 or 3 players at his position in maybe a generation, I would say he deserves to be up there.  I think Luke ends up in Canton one day.
