I’d like to think this is a once-every-five-years type of exercise. Doesn’t seem viable to induct a new class of names every year.

Side note: It’s pretty cool that Carolina is currently fielding several HOF locks/contenders. Plenty of time to baptize more names into the team’s personal honor roll.

Nah. Minter, Ruck, Beason, CJ do not belong in the Hall of Honor.

Id say the same is true with Stew and Kalil.

We can’t open it up to every good player we have. There needs to be an echelon of achievement. Kalil and Stew just don’t have that echelon.

same with the defensive dudes you mentioned. Plus if they were gonna be inducted at least one would have been on the inaugural list.

Kalil will go down with a more impressive career than Gross.  Both in terms of individual achievement and probably overall value to the team IMO.  Only Luke has more All Pro and Pro Bowl nods than Kalil.

Kalil isn’t even a debate. He is a lock.

Luke, 89, Pep, Kalil have the 4 most impressive overall careers in a Panther uniform as of today 

Cam is close.  QBs get hard to judge because they get an unfair amount of positives and negatives with the wins and losses.

I’d argue Cam over Kalil since he won an MVP, but you are correct. Each era usually produces 1 HOF center. If Kalil stayed healthy he would have been his era HOF center. Unfortunately he got hurt too much towards the end and retired young.

Gross played a much tougher and more important position.

Kalil was better at his position than Gross was at his.  Simple as that.  And he has a better NFL resume because of that.  Like I said only Luke has a more accomplished career by NFL standards. 

I’m not knocking Gross.  LT is the toughest spot on the OL.  But acting Kalil is part of the Jon Beason or DeAngelo crew is just flat out disrespectful IMO to Kalil.  If Jake, Walls and Gross are in? Kalil is a lock

10 years from now-

0 banners but hey we have 30 members of the hall of honor

I don’t understand this logic. So in 35 years this team would only have 6 or 7 memorable players. I could understand not wanting to retire all these players numbers, which they aren’t. But the teams ring of honor should Celebrate the greatest panthers. The team should make a distinction by retiring 89 and 90. For hall of honor purposes players like moose, Kalil, Rucker, Minter, bates, etc. should be honored.

I said as of today.  Cam will defiantly be a lock soon enough.  I only said close because I don’t want to debate those that overly focus on record with QBs. 

Cam is the biggest game changer and most dominant player IMO that has ever put on a Panther uniform.   Not always the most consistent but...

and Luke still the best actual football player drafted by us.

      Panthers Saints Game Week 1

      By Iron Saint · Posted

      Meh. He played well on the special teams units but despite safety becoming a dire position we needed a warm body at, he was a complete non-factor on defense to justify keeping him around. He averaged 10.2 defensive snaps per game across 12 games last year and couldn't overtake Howden or Abram for the position (both of whom were brought back this year). Maybe he'll play better at CB for y'all but I wouldn't hold out much hope. As mid of a head coach Allen may be, he knows his stuff regarding the secondary so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on it.

      couple more things re: extreme hots and colds and the EV use tax. In the winter months, I can confirm that the range isn't as far, but it has never given me range anxiety except the first time I made a trip to Myrtle Beach and wasn't accounting for it. I just had to detour and use a Supercharger for 5 min and the rest of the trip was no issue. Summer months have never been an issue at all.  NC has a $140.25 EV Registration fee every year, which amounts to the gas/use tax for ICE.

      Just seeing this thread, and after browsing, I figured I would drop in and add my 2 cents. I hope this answers some of the questions or misconceptions that I have noticed.   I have owned a 2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus since Dec 2020, and love it. Absolute best car I have ever personally owned.  Current daily driver of 100 miles round trip to work and back.  Level 2 Charger at home in Garage.   The battery in my car was still designed to charge to ~80% for daily usage, only going above for trips etc preferably. The current batteries they recommend to charge to 100%.   1st year was in an apartment, 40 miles round trip at that point. Would highly depend on public level 2 charger at the library near me, and would also use 110v at work occasionally on weekends. Supercharger for travel. It wasn’t the most optimal, but I made it work. No maintenance in this year outside of tire rotations.   Years 2+, I am now driving 100 miles round trip to work. Level 2 charger in my garage.  I get home from work at ~25% charge, and charge back to my daily 80% in ~3.5hrs. On 110v, you can expect that will be over 24hrs. So for daily driver usage you will want a level 2 charger. For piddling around town, 110v will probably be fine. I had a part fail that was covered under warranty, and tire replacement/rotations for maintenance.     Tires: I have 99k+ miles on my car currently. I will put my 2nd set of tires on it at ~110k.   When I have had people ask me how I like my car, I always show them these 2 pages from the Tesla app. The numbers there are based on what I pay for kWh ($0.11) vs est cost of gas in NC at $3.93 per gallon. People who are concerned about the higher cost vs ICE probably don’t figure in the gas savings, or time/cost getting oil changes etc.  My car payment isn’t that much higher than any other car I’ve owned (shrug).   I know this is personal, and I don’t like the guy either, but I would not let Musk keep me from owning the brand. Thats like Henry Ford keeping you from owning Ford for, well….   Tesla currently have the best charging infrastructure for travel. Longest trip I have made is to Williamsburg VA from Triangle region. No issues getting there, no range anxiety etc. Sure stops can take longer for charging etc, but they are mostly setup at restaurants, gas stations etc for breaks, but ideally you’re not charging back to full at a stop. The best way to travel is to charge enough for you to get to the next stop. It’s faster at the batteries get juice faster when they are lower.  I have never seen another brand using Tesla superchargers tho I have heard it’s coming. But I have seen assholes pull their boats horizontally in charging stations 😉   If you are curious about how an EV would play into travel, check out https://abetterrouteplanner.com . Put in any EV you want, it will show you the path, time and time per charge etc. Great tool.
