Rotoworld said today that Kris Jenkins would be the perfect candidate to make the Panthers Ring of Honor in the future, but I do not think there is a chance he gets in. It got me thinking what players will ultimately join Sam Mills in the Hall of Honor. The list that I came up with was:

Wesley Wall

John Kasay

Mike Rucker

Mike Minter

Jake Delhomme

Muhsin Muhammad

Julius Peppers (If he makes the Hall of Fame)

Steve Smith

Other names who have a shot or can if they continue their careers here: Lamar Lathon, Michael Bates, Steve Beuerlein, Kevin Greene, Brad Hoover, Jordan Gross, and Jon Besaon

Kris Jenkins was a GREAT DT when not injured overall in his career......Kris ain't the kind of guy you honor like that though. He kinda burned his bridge when he left.....even though he spoke a lot of truth.

Not a chance Jenkins gets it...not a chance in hell. If Moose wouldn't have left I think he would be the number one candidate but I think that the fact he left over money might keep him from it atleast initially. I'd like to say that Smith would get it if he retires here but I don't know if his fist issue will hold him up. Too early to say for Peppers, but I feel the same thing with Moose would hold him up. Rucker, Minter and Walls are all in the same boat of being great Panthers but I don't know if they were great enough to make the ring of honor.

I think the Ring of honor should only be given sparingly, and when it is given it needs to be given to a truly incredible person who left a incredible mark on the franchise. Not just a good player on Sundays for a few years, but someone who exemplifies our franchise. Our team is young and we shouldn't have a ton of statutes out front yet anyways.

I always thought retiring numbers were for the best of the best. The ring of honor I always thought it was for players who were highly thought of within the organization. For example Rucker and Minter. I think Kasay, Minter, Rucker, Delhomme, and Smith are all definites for it. I think Muhammad has a good chance of getting in and there is a decent chance Walls gets in. I think if Peppers makes the Hall of Fame he will definitely get recognized by the team and put in the Hall of Honor.

Don't all the ring of honor members (minus PSL owners) have a statute outside the stadium? I figure that's bigger than retiring a number, which we haven't done officially yet.

Well there are only two people in the Ring of Honor and yes they both do have statues, but I doubt that as the franchise gets older they are going to put a statue of every player who gets in. If they do then yes I agree with you that it should be an exclusive list. To me Sam Mills is not an All-Pro Hall of Famer, but rather a very big part of the organization and that is why they inducted him and retired his number. That is why I think quite a few players have a chance.

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      By strato · Posted

      That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.
