That's way too many people. I get where you're coming from, but we can't add everyone to the hall of honor. 

Honest question, how many people do other teams have in their hall...especially the ones that have been around a lot longer than the Panthers have?

Agreed it’s too many people. I think the ring of honor should consist of 3 players Mills, Smith, and Peppers. They should all have statues and numbers retired.

there should then be a panthers HOF. These names would not sit in ring of honor. Jordan gross and jake delhomme are all time great panthers. But they should not be recognized to the same stature as peppers and smith.

c'mon... you know Smitty was all about that Keep Pounding. Dude was the the most motivated person we ever had on the field, and he came back from pretty bad injuries too.

First ballot HOF. He deserves a statue, and so does Pep.

TD doesn't deserve a statue, and never will. Hall of Honor? Sure. When he retires.

Statues should not be given to just anyone. Statues should be for those who exemplified greatness both on and off the field, and even then, it's a huge huge huge honor that should not be taken lightly. Based on on the field performance for the team, Sam Mills didn't deserve a statue. He played at a high level but he was only on the team for like 3 years. He stuck around to coach, through cancer, and was a shining example of the kind of man that everyone in the NFL should strive to be. That's why he got one. 

On the Field Smitty was a beast (but not a first ballot HOF with the logjam at the position coming up, I guarantee it). Off the field, he punched multiple teammates and butted heads with numerous people, and goes on idiotic rants on TV. He was charitable, and probably my favorite player of all time, but the dude doesn't deserve a statue. 

Peppers finally grew into his role of leader in the twilight of his career, but wanted nothing to do with a leadership role his first time around. He also phoned in an entire season, shied away from the spotlight, and left on bad terms the first go round. 

TD gave everything to the team, blood sweat and tears, and was also a Walter Peyton man of the year winner. Came back from 3 ACL tears and was a leader on and off the field. He embraced his role of a leader not only of the team, but of the community as well. Literally NO ONE has a bad thing to say about him.  His biggest crime as a panther is wanting to play so badly that he refuses to retire while his replacement is in waiting. That's the kind of guy that deserves a statue. All heart, no quit, keep pounding.

How can anyone dislike Tepper? They guy has been killing it since he bought the team.

this is great

To me Smitty is most deserving.  He was the most dynamic, had the most impact on way more games and seasons AND with the least amount of talent around him (for the most part)

There’s like one guy here who has an unhealthy obsession with hating on Smitty, can’t say I’ve seen much other 89 hate. Sure, debate over whether releasing him was right or not had folks on both sides but pretty much everyone here recognizes Smitty as a top 3 Panther of all time and the heart and soul of the team while he was here. Can’t wait til he’s back officially. Tensions between him and the team have definitely eased since DG was fired and Tepper bought the team.

and after Smitty and Peppers.  I think Cam and Luke are the only ones that will be under future consideration.   Well, maybe TD. 

But that would be about it.  Dip into the Gross level of folks and then it just gets flooded w/ folks.
