I get the feeling after 20 years the Panthers could start their own Hall of Fame. This isn't a statue or a retired number, rather just a honor to players who will be honored by the organization. If this were to happen who do you believe would deserve induction? Some players I would definitely put in:

Jake Delhomme QB

Brad Hoover FB

Muhsin Muhammad WR

Wesley Walls TE

Mike Rucker DE

Mike Minter S

John Kasay K

And for Active Players:

Steve Smith WR

Jordan Gross OL

Thomas Davis LB

i am probably going to get destroyed for this but why is sam held in such high regard with this team? he only played, what, 3 of his last career years here? then he coached. i get the whole "heart" thing but statistically, he has been surpassed by many players that are just as deserving of the honor as he. for the organization to not recognize those players is a travesty. i would agree that his might be only statue we have but to not retire other numbers is just dumb. if the very day smitty retires, we do not retire his number, fans should revolt. banging the drum is not nearly a big enough honor for those guys.

This is a pet peeve of mine. Just type IB (in before).

 

That said, I hope we do have a HOF soon. And why in the hell has no one else been added to the ring of honor at BOA? Is there a five year wait (Kasay)? We've been around long enough now to have more than three names on the ring, two of which (IMHO) shouldn't even be there.

What he did with what he had is amazing, but Mills will always be a Saint to me. Sort of like Reggie White.

because there's more to life than statistics.

 

in his few years here he had a bigger impact on this franchise and it's identity than probably any player we've ever had. he, in a sense, forged and personified what it means to be a carolina panther. you fight. you keep pounding. he is the example to everyone that puts on that panther jersey of what they are supposed to be. he set the standard. that is why he has a statue. that is why no one will wear his jersey. he is revered not for his numbers, but for who he was as a man and a player.

      Btw... only Mitch fugging Marner has a better +/- than Key 🔑!!! And, Mitchy needed 5 more games and almost 100 more shifts to get there.

      I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.

      Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
