I do think most NFL fans primarily associate him with the Panthers being that he was drafted here, went to the SB here, and ultimately finished his career here. But with that said, the Bears and the Packers have a lot more national relevance than the Panthers so I wouldn't be shocked if there's quite a few people who envision Peppers in one of those jerseys when they first think of him. Hell, even after all these years when I hear Julius Peppers' name I think UNC after all, the drafting of Julius Peppers is what ultimately made me a Panthers fan to begin with.

Me as well. He was my favorite basketball player at UNC

In my eyes, he’s our first. A tried and true Panther. Still remember when the team drafted him.

Congrats Julius! Well deserved. Hopefully, you have Smith and Kuechly next to join ya!

Luke will definitely be in. Probably first ballot. Smitty absolutely SHOULD be in but crazy WR numbers in the modern NFL is gonna be a hurdle for him to overcome. They SHOULD consider the offenses these guys played in and the percentage of the receiving yardage they accounted for, etc. but they pretty much just look at the top level numbers. The more time that passes the more mediocre his numbers will get in terms of the HOF.

I mean, Lynn Swann is a HOF WR and DJ Moore has already comfortably passed his career numbers and DJ is 26 years old.

Love this. Peppers is IMO the best player to ever play here so far. I was so upset when the Panthers let him walk out the door, for nothing. Eerily similar situation going on now with Burns. Although Burns isn't anywhere near the same level as Pep.

 

On a side note, it's really awesome to see Patrick Willis get in relatively quickly.  He was the best at his position when he played and then passed the torch to Luke. Their careers are really similar, both played 8 seasons, stats are really close.  Willis leads in solo tackles by 42 and sacks by 8. Luke accounted for 25 turnovers (FF/INT) to Willis' 24. Bodes well for Luke, he is eligible next year but I doubt he gets first ballot like Peppers.

Yeah Luke was right there with him statistically. Very good chance that Luke is first ballot HOF and would be our first drafted player to have played his whole career here going to the HOF.

      Panthers signing UFL all-pro WR

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Miami Dolphins After going undrafted in the 2023 NFL draft, Davis signed with the Miami Dolphins on April 30, 2023.[12] He was waived on August 29, 2023 due to his in-game injury.[13] Injury On August 26, 2023, during the fourth quarter of the Week 3 preseason game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, Davis suffered an injury after sustaining a hit from Jaguars linebacker Dequan Jackson while the wideout was attempting to catch a pass from teammate James Blackman. Jackson appeared to make helmet-to-helmet contact with Davis, drawing an unnecessary roughness flag after the play and leaving Davis immobilized and later carted off the field. The game was later suspended with 8 minutes and 32 seconds remaining, with Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel saying, "The two teams agreed that football shouldn't be played anymore tonight." This was the second game to be suspended in the 2023 NFL season as the first involved Patriots cornerback Isaiah Bolden after a Week 2 preseason game against the Packers.[14] The next day on August 27, 2023, the Dolphins had released a statement saying that Davis was released from the hospital and would be traveling back to Miami with the team personnel.[15] However two days later on August 29, 2023, Davis was waived by the Dolphins with an injury settlement ahead of the team's cuts for the 53-player roster limit

      By all means, go for it and talk down the league that guy came from its all good. Its just funny to hear you laugh at someone else's accomplishments having zero yourself.  Life is about criticisms of course......And it can also be fun to laugh at those those on the other side as well who never did a thing minimize others accomplishments. Good day sir!

      Exactly,  there's only so many "elite" qbs in the league at any one time. It's usually 4 or 5 at most. Sometimes less.
