Carolina Panthers Hall of Fame


NJPanthers12

Recommended Posts

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.

    • This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.  
    • I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it. 
    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
