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)

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
