The First Hall of Fame Inductee from the Carolina Panthers is...

[panthers90]

I guess. When I think of a player from a team I think of an iconic, long term player. 

Our first will be SS or JP. 

I met Jerry Rice last year at an event and asked him if Smitty would make the HoF, he said a ring would help, but highly highly highly doubts he makes it. He said the line of people that haven't made it is too long for Smitty to make it. But that's just his opinion I guess...

Our first REAL inductee will be Bill Polian this year.  Fuging disgusting.

Such an overrated GM.

Trivia fact that only hardcore Panthers nerds know: We already have a Hall of Fame entry. Reggie White played for us for one season. It was his last year and he did nothing here.

You take that back, I saw him sack Jeff Garcia at my first live game

Its a bit snug, but I will totally pull out my old Wilson Sports Kevin Green Jersey.

Not much of the numbers left on it but its my first jersey from 96-97.  

I had a generic #95 but got #91 at the stadium the following year.

Rice's opinion has no significance. Smitty will be a first ballot Hall of Famer.

there is a 0% chance steve smith is a first ballot Hall of Famer. It took Tim Brown this long to get in. Isaac Bruce and Tory Holt aren't in yet. I can't even begin to understand how Marvin Harrison is not in yet. Cris Carter did not make it first ballot and I'm pretty sure neither did Michael Irvin.

He's a fuging snake.  The only place he's been that everyone doesn't hate him is buffalo.

You are not very familiar with how the HOF process works. Rice is absolutely right, there is a very long line ahead of Steve.

I love Smitty, but: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMp8aDH8d9M

I think that Steve Smith would probably have to have at least one maybe two rings to get in. A Superbowl MVP would probably help a lot as well.  Or perhaps if he plays longer at a higher level than most think he will.

It has to be Matt Willig.  If you don't believe me, check the link.

 

Matt Willig Can't miss for the Hall Of Fame

John Kasay.

Greene goes in as a Steeler, IMO.

He'll finish out his Ravens contract with another 2 1000 yard receiving years then come back to the Panthers after we've won 2 straight and add on a couple of 600-700 yarders and a pair of rings to end with the 2nd most career receiving yards and 2 rings. First ballot.
