All Time Panther Team

[Jackofalltrades]

I'll take CJ or Hardy over Rucker, but none come before The Minister of Defense.

Luke is the easy pick at Mike, IMO.

Smith as the return man of choice for me as well.

Hard to Argue with most of your choices except Bates which has been mentioned and Steussie has no business on that list either

LS: Jason Kyle

 

Jansen is making a name for himself (you never actually hear his name called).  I remember when we lost Kyle, I thought we'd really see a drop-off.  I can't remember any botched snaps.  Jansen may take the spot in a few years.

Wahle and Mathis don't deserve to be on a list like this. Neither does Star or Ricky Manning Jr. I can tell the OP wasn't around in the beginning.

Jansen is getting there. He's been around for 80 games while Kyle was around for 128.

Michael Bates was a great Kick Returner, but didn't have many Punt Returns in his career.

[Night Prowler X]

Picking Sam over Luke at MLB is crazy.

I'd take either Hardy or CJ over Rucker. Peppers is still clearly number one, though.

[Rules&Regulations]

So, for the most part, the 2003 SB team. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[Donald LaFell]

Rod Smart over Michael Bates? wow, just wow

I agree. Bates for KR Smitty for PR

[micnificent28]

kind of a joke having star ahead of jenkins at this point.

Some good names, I think I'd put Keuchly over Mills, though.  Mills was slow and long in the tooth by the time he was playing with the Panthers.  Like Cota, it's hard to imagine these guys with the Panthers because they began their careers and often time spent much more time with that other team.

Sean Gilbert just got named as an all time great Panther.

No. End your life. No.

Sam Mills is a Carolina Panther. By his own volition and admission, he is a Panther. He was the heart of this team from two different spots in two different decades. He was the inspirational fire and unintentional creator of our team motto, which hangs from every wall in the stadium to being stitched to our jersey's, and he is the driving inspirational force behind the identity the owner seeks out in the kinds of players he wants making up a roster. He has a statue sitting outside the stadium. He has his number retired (the only player to receive those honors.) He is a Carolina Panther, and he and his son who has now been a coach here through multiple regimes would tell you so.
