The best Panther

[davos]

Colbert...

really, I'll go with Moose

I know everyone is focusing on players but the original question did not specifily state player. So I'm going with Mike McCormack. There would not even be a Carolina Panthers if it wasn't for McCormack and the help and guidence that he provided to Richardson during the process of getting a team in Carolina and as GM and team president during the early years. Lets not forget that it was McCormack who assembled a team of players and coaches that were able to start its first two seasons 7-9 and then 12-4 as an expansion team.

McCormack is the most underapprechiated Panther in our short history and will probably only grow more understated as time goes by. I'm really glad he was inducted into the Hall of Honor and at least that will give fans in the future a reminder of the amazing work he did here.

Up to this point it's Sam Mills and Steve Smith. I think in 10 years it will be Beason and/or D-will.

:iagree:

Paul Butcher, special teams BEAST. 1995

I was gonna make a joke about Butcher but when I did an image search with his name all I got were pictures of some kid (child actor I guess).

Nobody'd mistake this kid for Dr. Psycho's ugly mug

Funny you should say that. Paul Butcher (the child actor) is the son of "Dr. Pyscho" Paul Butcher Sr.

No one's going to evne give Mike Minter consideration? He might not have put up the numbers as some of the others on your list, but our D has gone down hill, especially the secondary, since he retired.

I Agree

Dan Morgan. Cheez Mo'z puts him over the top.

[StepandFetch]

That's a pretty sad list

The franchise is young... I'd say our list is far more impressive than Jacksonville's

That kid came from Dr. Psycho's genes? No way

[Smithers]

Mike Minter...best on the field leader we have ever had, hands down. This team never recovered from his retirement.

100% mike minter

[OneBadassCat]

There are some pretty good ones

Mike Minter- Was a great player, leader, and had the talent to back it up.

Dan Morgan- I know not a popular choice. But when the man was on the field he was the perfect MLB. When he played the defense changed.

Right now on this team I think Beason the is the best panther. Enormous talent with leadership qualities, has intensity and the drive to do better. And now we are starting to see the same with Davis.

I would say Smitty but I think the fights he has had takes him off the list. However talent/player wise Smith is the best panther.

Steve Smith... or Michael Bates
