Who do you guys think has been the best/ most influential/ done the most for the franchise/ face of the franchise Panther of all time. Not just the past few seasons, but out of the entire time the franchise has been in existence.

Sam Mills

Wesley Walls

Stephen Davis

Steve Smith

Jake Delhomme

D-Will

Julius Peppers

Other: Please specify

My vote is between Walls and although I hate him Jake. What do you guys think?

I'd add Kasay to the list....even though I might not vote for him. He has given the franchise extremely reliable leg over the course of it's existance....and he doesn't get enough credit for it. Insert your average up and down NFL kickers and the win/loss column would look MUCH different.

I don't think Carolina has that ONE figure yet....they have yet to emerge.

I love Sam Mills, and I'd have to say he's my favorite Panther guy of all time.

But if the criteria is who's had the biggest effect on the team, for both positive and negative, I think you have to go with Delhomme. A lot of the other ingredients were in place. He was the catalyst that kick started the best run in Panther history. Hes still having a huge effect now, though not all of it is for good.

And you'd have a hard time arguing that anyone has been the "face of the franchise" more than Jake. He's easily been the most visible player. Smith may be the best player, but you can't have a "face of the franchise" whose known for altering the faces of some of the franchise's players.

Julius Peppers appears to have single-handedly fuged an entire season by eating up cap-room needed for depth and sleeping through games, and may very well end up (with the help of delhomme and fox) throwing this team back into a rebuilding mode. That's pretty influential. I'm going with Julius Peppers.

I know we hate to entertain the thought right now, but you could make an argument for Peppers. He was perhaps most responsible for transforming the Panthers defense into one of the league's best and most feared defenses for several years. I know it's just the Fox-era and doesn't really apply today, but most people know Carolina as a defensive-minded team. No player has been as responsible for this perception than Peppers.

i know, the real reason I'm angry is that he's been my favorite player since he was drafted.

      CBS Young coming on. Stroud sliding Analysis from Matt Ryan long, runner

      A Quarterback in this mold is and was always going to take a long time to develop. I think he still has quite a bit to go.  We didn't draft him for his foot speed or arm talent. We drafted him to be the leader and commander of the offensive unit. and he is growing in that capacity on a weekly basis. Being smart and being able to make the correct adjustment and get your team into the right play and being able to get the ball to the right spot is the most important thing an NFL quarterback can do. You can scheme around it, you can simplify, you can try everything, but those skills make a dominant NFL quarterback more than anything else. More than anything else, that's what the Montana's, Brady's, and Manning's do. And those are the ones you want. What we are seeing with Mahomes is a guy that has the brains, unique arm talent, and above average foot speed. He may go down as the greatest. I don't see that in Bryce's future.  He's got a long way to go, but he's showing he's capable of being that game managing, offense controlling guy. While that type of quarterback is the most dominant, it also takes the longest to get them game ready, and if they don't ever get to a dominant level, they often don't pan out. So it is a risk.

      This is fake news as Trump would say. Nobody’s comparing seasons the nfl pundits ESPN first take si.com and other outlets are stating what we’re saying in this thread it looks like he’s regressing. Now to address your statement their leading their division ummm have you seen their defensive rankings compared to ours. You’re cherry picking which you can’t do with me I’m not a poster who’s here to argue I like thoughtful in depth convos. They have the 4th ranked defense put that in Carolina don’t you think we’d probably lead our division this year realistically. With the offense you’ve seen the last four weeks being average let’s just say with a 4th ranked defense how’d do you think we’d look or how many more wins would we have? You can’t say oh but they still lead their division knock it off it’s bc they have a terrible division and an elite defense. CJ is dealing with issues Bryce dealt with bad Oline and he has weapons but they’ve missed time and when out he’s looked below average having multiple 2pick games, the man’s had a 4 sack game followed by a 8 I repeat 8 sack game that’s a bad Oline leaving him to regress so Panther Bryce fans can’t pipe down we’re just stating facts bc yes they’re winning with a elite defense give a little more context to your statements it Matters!
