That's what one website is saying.

The Carolina Panthers’ great will undoubtedly be a first ballot Hall of Famer when the time comes as Peppers eclipsed nine Pro Bowls and three All-Pros during his time with Panthers, Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers. Peppers ended his career just a sack short of third all time, with his 159.5 sacks culminating throughout 17 years in the league. The 6-foot-7 edge rusher was a member of the 2010s All-Decade Team and proved to be one of the best players in Panthers’ history after being selected No. 2 overall in the 2002 NFL Draft.

Luke is the question mark for first ballot and that's only due to longevity (I think he gets it though)

But Peppers was never in question, the only reason Smitty is the Panthers GOAT and not Peppers, is because half his career was with the Bears and Packers.

He's 4th all time in sacks, I wouldn't need to know anything else, even the player's name, to know that person is a first ballot HOFer

Will he be the first drafted Panther to the HOF

Either first or tied for first if Smitty were to get in this year.

But I'm actually hoping Smitty doesn't yet, sure it would be cool for him to go in with Peppers, but I think it would be more fun for the fans if he went in the same year as Kuechly.

Same reason as my previous post, Smitty and Luke are higher on the Panther GOAT list than Peppers because they spent their whole careers here (Smitty's Ravens years don't count lol).

There is no way Luke doesn’t get first ballot. I think he’ll come back around to coaching somewhere too eventually when he grows up a bit more and lives the other side of life for a while. That would all but cement it.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
