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.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By bandu · Posted

      take a  look around the league at other young Qb's around Bryce Young's age group  such as Drake Maye , Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix , CJ Stroud  & Caleb Williams who at the time like Bryce Young they also were drafted also joined teams with a losing record .the only difference with these Qb's is after joining their teams with a losing record they led those same teams to a winning record in a very short period of time .it's simply what you call a game changer & or elite Qb's & then take a  look at  the other side of the coin you have Qb's such as Trey Lance, Zach Wilson, Mac Jones, Justin Fields  & Anthony Richardson also like Bryce Young all first round picks who instead of winning either did not play or led their teams to a losing record while playing  just because Bryce Young was a #1 overall pick does not necessarily mean that he will become improve with time if history tells you anything it's matter of fact just the opposite . lBryce Young who has an overall record of 14-30 & wildly inconsistent & never in the history pf the NFL has a Qb 5'10" or shorter had a successful carrer as Qb in the NFL  you have to ignore alot of FACTS & be really ignorant to the FACT to think Bryce Young is the future at Qb if anything history is telling you exactly what ?..just saying

      to me these two signings were so bad for the Panthers at the time of our young team. "Sean Gilbert was signed by the Carolina Panthers on April 21, 1998, after being traded from the Washington Redskins in a deal that sent the Panthers two first-round picks (Nos. 5 and 12) to Washington. The Panthers then re-signed Gilbert to a 7-year, $46.5 million contract extension on the same date"  The other was Jason Peters being picked in the First round of the 1998 draft. "Peter played for the Panthers from 1998 to 2001, appearing in 38 games (starting 20) and recording 88 total tackles, 7.5 sacks, and 1 fumble recovery His NFL career was cut short by a chronic neck stinger, forcing him to retire after the 2001 season
