Yea yea yea it's the off season sooo time for another random thread ... I want to know who you people think the best player to ever put on a panthers uniform is ... This isn't a top 5 list so I just want one name lol( I remember an earlier post where you named your 5 favorite player and people including me put like 10 on the list)... sooo think of it like this... Imagine we have no player statues out infront of the stadium and it's your choice on who it gets to be ,who do you pick ...

For me it's a no brainer... Steve Smith

I really don't understand all the Steve Smith votes after him punching 2 teammates and being an ass to fans. To me there really is no other option than Mills. Who not only was one of our best LBers ever but also a really good coach and team motivator. No one else gave to this organization as much as he did.

The best player to ever wear our uniform? Reggie White He wasn't at his best the one year he played for us but over his career he was the best.

I was going to say the same.

The statue thing complicates the question -- Steve Smith may be the best Panthers player, but he's not deserving of a statue in the way that Sam Mills was.

But if you're going on just talent, athleticism and a person's body of work, it's very close between Smith and Peppers.

How in the hell does Sam Mills deserve a statue over Steve Smith? People pull for the panthers because of Steve Smith. No one ever did for Sam Mills. Thousands each weekend come to see STEVE SMITH make sensational plays and fire everyone up. Cant say that about Sam Mills. Steve Smith IS the Carolina Panthers.

He deserves a statue far more than Sam Mills EVER HAS and I hope he retires a panther so he WILL get a statue.

End of Line.

Steve Smith is a far superior athlete than Sam Mills. So why does Sam Mills currently have a statue outside of the stadium? Surely you know what he's done for the team, and the leader he was in the lockerroom.

I'm not saying statues should only be relegated to high-character players over the better athletes, but it's obvious Richardson takes pride in such players.

You seem pretty worked up about all this. I'm a huge fan of Steve Smith as a player, and if we were going on talent alone then, yeah, he'd have a statue. I'm just pointing out that I don't think that's the only thing that goes into a player getting a statue.

Sorry I hurt your feelings.

End of line (or do we mean bottom line here?).

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.

      Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
