Jenkins won't be going in. The team was calling it addition by subtraction after he was shipped off.

Time heals all wounds. Agreed I don’t expect him to ever make it but no doubt he’s the 2nd best defensive lineman this franchise ever had. The defense was just different when he was healthy.

I will also say when they teased the original hall of honor selections back in 2019, he was in the video. Him and Chris gamble were the two surprises to me which is why I included them.

Peppers, Luke, Olsen, TD, and Cam when he retires. That should be it for awhile.

I also think Muhammad and Kalil are not arguable. I also think bates is a lock but can see an argument against. I honestly cannot see one against the other 2. Kalil was a better lineman than gross and Muhammad had more of an impact than walls.

I think Peppers and Luke are by FAR the best players up.  Not even close.    

but I think they let Thomas Davis in before both of them.    So I will guess TD and Kalil to hit the O and D combo. 

I frankly think they let too many in already.   Think the bar should of been higher initially.

I will say I liked Jenkins, especially when he was healthy. He was a force in that middle that had to be addressed. With that in mind, is it the Ring of Honor, Panther Hall of Fame, or Panther Superstar of the Game? I guess it's all up to interpretation. 

Another poster mentioned the blocked kick in Tampa, and I agree 100%. That was monumental. Defending champs beaten on their home turf by a bunch of unknowns. But the reality is I don't think players get honored for a singular moment.

Jenkins was missed big time. He should go in on that crazy kick block TB game alone. 
 

I’d like to see TD and Luke go in together. 

Agreed. 

As big a moment as that was, beyond that, was Jenkins much better than his replacement, Maake Kemoeatu, or about the same, or a little under?

Just a breakdown of who is in, who is eligible, and who is deserving.

1. Mike McCormack - Inducted in 1997

2. Sam Mills - Inducted in 1998

3. Jake Delhomme - Inducted in 2019

4. Jordan Gross - Inducted in 2019

5. Steve Smith Sr. - Inducted in 2019

6. Wesley Walls - Inducted in 2019

David Tepper made a rule that you cannot be eligible until 2 years after retirement which would make Cam ineligible. In my opinion the following players should be locks and the 2 are definitely coming from this group.

1. Michael Bates

2. Thomas Davis Sr.

3. Ryan Kalil

4. Luke Kuechly

5. Muhsin Muhammad

6. Greg Olsen

7. Julius Peppers

I can’t see how it’s not Luke and Pep, especially with Peppers likely entering the HOF this year. With that said it seems silly to me to not put TD and Olsen in, along with the other 4.

other players I can see making it some day are Kasay, Minter, Rucker, CJ, Jenkins, Gamble, Stew, and Greene.

 

Kasay should be in for sure. Did they set a limit for how many they would do per year? Otherwise I don’t see the point in waiting for any of the guys you mentioned.

Kris Jenkins was a 2x All Pro who wrecked game plans in his prime. 

Kemoeatu never even made a Pro Bowl

A healthy and motivated Jenkins was on another planet IMO than Kemo.   The window was small though. Kemo the more consistent player over a longer period.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
