bulk of both careers were played elsewhere (neither are HOF worthy but that ain't the question)

I think we will have to either draft a kid or have a Delhomme type discovery for someone to qualify one day.

So Sam Mills would not be considered a true Hall of Fame Panther for us if he ever made it? Right?

probably not.

i just don't see davis or key making it. key might just because he played for a team that got a ring and he was a cowboy for a while. he's got a lot fo name recognition going for him as well.

davis...meh...not so much. if he did go in, it might be as a panther, tho. he retired as one so that might be where his heart is, but i don't know if that is how it works.

I wonder though, didn't Davis retire a Panther? Probably won't get in but since he retired a Panther wouldn't he also choose to go in the HOF a Panther?

Sam Mills WOULD go in as a Panther. He would go in as a Saint as well, but also a Panther. A player entering the HoF is a celebration of their career, not just a pat on the butt to the GM that drafted them. Mills had some of his best year's here and became the first face of the franchise, among all the other things he did for us. I'm not taking away what he did as a Saint, but to say Mills wouldn't want to be identified as a Panther is silly. We already know that Stephen Davis would.

No, he played somewhere else, but I do not remember where. Also, I think the whole choosing thing is a myth. If you go to the HoF, the bust's are listed along with all the teams that the player played for. I believe the NFL does it on purpose to avoid that kind of controversy (that said, davis has already said he loved being a Panther most of all, and was obviously a coaching assistant here)

      Okay, now face the facta guyd

      No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      I dont buy the idea that it would create more competitive games Given this: Seed Current Format Record Proposed Open Seeding Record 1 Lions 15–2 Lions 15–2 2 Eagles 14–3 Eagles 14–3 3 Buccaneers 10–7 Vikings 14–3 4 Rams 10–7 Commanders 12–5 5 Vikings 14–3 Rams 10–7 6 Commanders 12–5 Buccaneers 10–7 7 Packers 11–6 Packers 11–6 That would mean Wild Card round would have been Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Vikings(14/3) v Bucs(10/7) Commanders(12/5) v Rams(10/7) Instead of Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Bucs(10/7) v Commanders(12/5) Rams(10/7) v Vikings(14/3) Then with the reseed it would mean that highest remaining seed would always draw the lowest remaining team.
