As a panther fan I want Greene to make it after being a finalist in 2012 and 2013.  He really was a force on that 96 squad.  You knew when the game was on the line he was going to make a play.  He might have been quiet for a quarter but when the game was on the line he was going to get a sack. He was a beast when he had to be. His three years were the most productive of his career. He averaged a sack a game (41.5 in 47 games).  His 160 sacks ranks 3rd all-time behind 2 guys, Bruce Smith and Reggie White, already in the hall.

 

He is surely worthy.

Tagliabue, Dungy, Bettis, Brooks, Walter Jones 

 

FYI: I've been to an enshrinement ceremony in Canton. I've been to the NFL HOF twice in the past 5 years. The first time I went was the enshrinement ceremony from 2010. I got to meet Gale Sayers and there's a good chance if you were watching NFLN during that time, that you saw me walking around in the background. I have it DVRd. The guys are sitting around talking - and my dumbass is walking around with my exGF the entire show. 

 

It was awesome and the room with the busts is incredible. I got a picture of me putting my head on the place where Jerry Rice's bust would later be placed. 

 

I went back last year and I have a picture of the ball that Cam set the QB rushing TD record. It's in the room that has all the jerseys/cleats/gloves/etc from big games. The gloves/jersey/cleats of Brandon Marshall are in there too from when he had like 25 catches that one game. The jerseys from Brady/Manning/Brees are in there from when they set those personal records as well. I'd post some pics on here if I could figure it out.

    • This fan base and being cool with mediocrity is infuriating. Making excuses for billionaires who had no business imploding a franchise and making us the Browns of the South.  Good on you man being a glass half full kind of person, I am not. I have zero faith in Tepper "evolving" and quoting Morgan in saying they been easy to work with is not any evidence of that actually happening. I'm sure if I go back and watch Fitt, Rhule and Reich pressers they said the same b.s. towing the line jargon to appease their boss. Stuff like, O they've been great, such great collaboration or some crap. Give me wins that is the ONLY analysis I need to judge are clown of an owner.....  
    • You're equating wins with evolving, but It's a little more complex than that. This will be the new managment's third season. It will also be the third season where the Teppers have taken a step back. If you think that the only way to measure improvements due to seeming changes for the better is wins and losses after only two years--one being a playoff berth, "limping" in there or not, then perhaps you're being more emotional. By most analysts' measure, Dan Morgan has the Panthers moving in the right direction. He can only get us to where we need to be with the blessing and cooperation from the owners. He has said several times now, that they are easy to work with. Rhule, Reich and Fitterer did not say that. In fact, you could literally see the pressure put upon them by their countenance.  Bottom line: it has been reported that they have changed and everything that we've seen (and not seen) is indicative of that belief. We were a playoff team, and we had a good showing. With the moves that have been made this offseason, and last offseason to be honest, NFL types are expecting the Panthers to compete for the division the upcoming season, and that's even before the draft. This is all with a QB that is still a question mark.  Rome wasn't built in a day. David Tepper has seemed to internalize that, and now many fans need to appreciate the same. It could be argued that we didn't have any business winning the games we did in '24 or '25, much less make the playoffs this past season. A positive transition appears to be afoot. We are close to becoming a perennial contender, and that's thanks to a developing culture change that is being allowed to happen. This was not the case when the Teppers, particularly David, were fumbling around trying to figure out how to run an NFL franchise.   
    • Dude is a beast on ST. I like the emphasis on special teams with him and Simmons.
