First I'd remove the PSL fans, and McCormick or whatever his name is. Should be players only.

But ... Mills, Smith, and Kasay. Eventually Peppers. Luke and Cam down the road.

Minter, Walls, Kevin Greene, Gross, Thomas Davis, Jake, etc. all have great stories, but they just aren't top tier. Hell, I'd even consider saying no to Kasay as it defeats my criteria. Hoover deserves it but he's a FB and no one cares about FBs.

come on wtf GIF

Gross: Perennial pro bowler - 1x AP first team all pro and one of the best Tackles in the game when he played.

Thomas Davis: 3x pro bowler (played at that level well before he was acknowledged) 1X AP first team all pro, 1x second team all pro, Walter Payton man of the year award winner, Came back from 3 ACL surgeries on the same knee, dislocated his finger and popped it back in on the same play to make a tackle, broke his forearm in the NFC championship game and came back to play in the super bowl. Dude's an iron man and all time great panther. If ANYONE deserves to be in the Panther's hall of honor, it's him.

I was hoping to keep this conversation to just Minter, but I am curious. If you could start the HOH over from scratch with retired players only, who would you include ?

Sam Mills (His "Keep Pounding" has defined the Panthers from his time in to the future), Steve Smith, Thomas Davis (He's had an exceptional career himself plus his dedication to the team and community), Julius Peppers (the only home grown HOFer we've had outside of Steve Smith), and above all... Ken Lucas' nose. Cam and Luke are no brainers after their respective careers are done. Other than that, we have nobody that had "exceptional careers" to warrant that honor that spent the majority of their career with us.

Gross was a good player but the guy wasn't Andrew Witworth or Duane Brown for us.

Totes, but he's the best blindside blocker we've ever had and was a top 10 Tackle in his prime, plus a leader on and off the field. 

Hell, Cam's kickball thing was originally Gross'. Gross definitely deserves it.

They need to set and define a certain rubric for who gets in and who doesn’t, similar to how UNC has the rubric for retired jerseys and getting your jersey in the rafter.

Jersey in the Rafters

- MVP of NCAA Championship team

- Member of Gold Medal Olympic team

- First or Second All-America

- ACC Player of the Year

- NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player

Jersey Retired

- Win Oscar Robertson Trophy

- Win Association National Player of the Year

- Win National Association of Basketball  Coaches Player of the Year

- Win Wooden Award

- Win Naismith Award

- Win Sporting News Player of the Year.

 

When you have a set rubric and criteria there’s no arguments. Sure, Luke Maye was a great player but he doesn’t meet the criteria to get his jersey in the rafters.

If a criteria isn’t set we’re going to end up with guys like Mario Addison in the ROH because he’s one of the all-time Panthers sack leaders.

Not sure how you can say Gross isn’t top tier, he made three pro bowls and was an anchor at LT for a decade. Maybe you haven’t noticed what’s happened since he left?

I just think the wall should be the best of the best, not just great players. If you poll NFL fans to name the best tackles in the past decade, I bet not many would say or even remember Jordan. Not knocking his talent at all, he was awesome. If we just add names to the stadium wall it'll end up like the Yankees Monument Park. Too many.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case.

      And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo.

      I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
