I actually like the players listed. However I think Peppers and Luke are above Greg Olsen. If we’re talking on the field dominance.

Michael Bates was the man

Hard not seeing J Stew on there though. But it’s arguable that Deangelo had more talent. He had HOF skills. Lousy teammate compared to Stew though.

Absolutely, and it shouldn't even be a debate.

Mills meant a lot to the franchise, but the cold, hard stats mean he's not in the Top 4.

1. Smitty

2. Cam

3. Pep

4. Luke

5. Kevin Greene

6. Moose

7. Mills

8. Olsen

9. Gross

10. Thomas Davis

11. Mike Rucker

 

Smitty is GOAT WR and first true Panthers HOF player. No Smitty equals no Panthers contention for a decade.

Cam is best QB we've ever had and already legendary stat wise in the league.

Pep has always been a specimen and world beater at his position.

Luke is the greatest LB we've ever had and most likely one of the top 3 MLBs of all time and eventually another Panthers HOF member.

Greene was the Panthers defense for a few early years and one of the greatest LBs of all time.

Moose is forever the best Panthers WR#2 and gave us a lot.

Nothing needs saying about the Field Mouse. Keep Pounding.

Olsen is the best TE we've ever had, and I hope he has a few more years of high level play in him.

Gross was our anchor at LT for a long ass time. He and Smitty MADE Jake Delhomme look like a decent QB.

TD's been a good one for us. A former safety turned deadly OLB, he's been a career Panther and helped tutor our other young LBs.

Rucker is an underappreciated player by most fans. He helped groom guys like Pep and CJ, and made the linemen around him better.

Close but no cigar 11 in no particular order:

Wesley Walls -  Defined the TE position in the NFL for a few years, and groomed guys like Moose early on

Steve Beuerlein - Panthers 2nd best QB ever. Was doing things bigger than Jake ever did, and did it prior to Smitty being a Panther

Anthony Johnson - Was the RB we had been looking for for a couple years. our first thousand yard rusher IIRC

DeShaun Foster - I still think if he hadn't been injured as a rookie, he could have been our best RB ever

Brad Hoover - One of the last of a dying breed... a true FB with the ability to carry primary duties if you needed him to... He paved the way for so many decent RBs

Kris Jenkins - Our divisional answer to and rival of Warren Sapp. He, Pep, Buck, Ruck, Al Wallace, Kindal Moorehead, Kemp Rasmussen, and Shane Burton will probably go down as one of the best DLs in history. Blocked two kicks in one game to help us get to the SB.

Dan Morgan - Luke 0.1 - The Beta Test. Tackling machine

Josh Norman - JNo is one of the better CBs in the league, and he did great things for us in 2015

Mike Minter - Probably closest of this group to cracking the top 11. He anchored our secondary for years, and mentored a lot of our young defensive guys in that span

Michael Bates - y'all better put some respec on his name. He was dangerous every time he got the ball, and was a precursor to Smitty - probably one of the top 3 KORs in history

John Kasay - Our kicker for a thousand years. The last surviving OG Panther.
