Most Respected Panther


PantherBrew

Recommended Posts

according to teammates...

They had this discussiong on Mike and Mike this morning about the most respected player in their respective sports, and it got me thinking who was the most respected Panther. I'm sure most people will pick the same.

Current: John Kasey, Jake Delhomme

All-time: Jerry Richardson, Sam Mills.

Kasay hands down

For a guy to be here from the start and to help other along like Steve Smith. I would say the guys on the team would vote him most respected if the occasion presented itself. Mills was great, but here for just a short time. Too short.

I think Beason will be one looked up to one day as top 3 most respected.

He just does all the right things.

As far as Delhomme goes, if it wasnt for the respect of his teammates his job might would be in more of a jeopardy. He is the unquestioned leader of the offense. Everytime I hear Jordan Gross speak about Delhomme, he sounds like he is talking about an NFL Legend.

A lot of fans dont think highly of Jake because of his bad games, but there is not doubt that his teammates do.

But Im sure fans know more about Jake than teammates.

I love John Kasay but I find it hard to believe that the kicker would be the most respected. Just saying.

I agree with Delhomme and Sam Mills but as a coach not as a player.

I am surprised that no one has mentioned Moose. I know he left for the Bears and came back but if anyone has any respect for Smitty they have to see the influence Moose had on his career.

Others not mentioned, Ricky Phrole and Richard Williamson. Everyone always talks about Kasay being the lone original Panther left on the team but that is not true. Williamson has been the WR coach since 1995 and I think joined the team before Kasay but I'm not sure of that.

You're right. Saying the kicker is the most-respected player on the majority of teams would be laughable. But not in the case of the Carolina Panthers.

Like you note, Kasay is the last original Panthers player. Couple that with his faith and leadership in the lockerroom, and I think he's definitely one of the most respected guys in the lockerroom, if not the most-respected player on the team. Who did Smith go talk to after the incident with Lucas last year?
