Another two former Panthers on this year's HOF Ballot.

[Cat'sGrowl]

Keyshawn Johnson and Stephen Davis. Key is meh, but Davis loves this organization and could be considered our first true HoFer in some people's eyes. Davis would definitely want to be remembered as a Panther.

[The Saltman]

lol at Tiki Barber being on the ballot too

[Cat'sGrowl]

obligatory Dwayne Jarrett-Keyshawn Johnson draft selection video.

Still think it was stupid to cut Key, fwiw.

[The_Cannon]

I doubt Davis makes it, but it would be awesome. And if the voters put Key in there while Chris Carter continues to be excluded they need their voting rights revoked.

[CRA]

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.

[X-Factor_Cam]

I hope S. Davis makes it...

Let's Go Panthers...

[Cat'sGrowl]

Watching that video makes you realize how stupid Dwayne jarrett is.

Another funny tidbit

"Steve Young: hey key now you can retire next year"

"Key: Well not next year but the year after, maybe."

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?

[Jangler]

As far a Key is concerned he can fug off.

[Cat'sGrowl]

probably not.

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)

Edit:

[Jangler]

we have had this discussion before. A player can choose the team. Marcus Allen was a Raider forever but is in the HOF as a Chief.
