Which of our two best players will make it to the hall of fame first? Or rather, RIGHT NOW, who has the best chance of making it to the hall of fame between these two? I'll go with Peppers because as good as Smith is, Peppers has been more of a model citizen and that kind of thing factors into the decision at times. Really, there's no wrong answer here, just wrong reasons

Smith simply won't have HOF stats, unless he can perform at the same level for 5-6 more years, which is unlikely. The year with the broken leg ('04) and the year without Jake ('07) really hurt his numbers. That's a likely 2,000+ yards that he missed out on. Plus, a lot of people don't give him the respect he deserves right now as a current player, so I can't see why that will change after he's done.

Ex-squeeze me? A-baking powder?

I think that Peppers will have a really great shot at making it if he plays at a high level for another 5 years or so. Say he averages 10 sacks a year for the next 5. That will put him at 120 sacks. That will put him around the top 12 of all time....if he could average 12 a year it would put him right around Lawerance Taylor.

Peppers is the younger player between the two. We have a very legit super bowl window right now, and with our abundance of young players like Williams, Beason, Godfrey, it is highly likely that window will stay open for a while. If we were to win ONE superbowl with both players, from a performance standpoint, Smith gets the nod. However, when the press and other players give subjective evaluations, Smith's anger might be his downfall

Godfrey, a man that hasn't played a single game in the NFL, with DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart ahead of him and you're already giving him HOF props? That's the end of it, lost credibility at that point...

You're right, I was thinking Goodson, my apologies...

I still don't think you can even think of a player that is only in his second year in the NFL as a HOFer, it's just nonsense...

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
