Which retired Panther could help this years team the most

[onmyown]

Is Gross really the best olineman in Panthers history? Wasn’t there some dude that went to the Eagles? I was going to say the top olineman in history and Gross is alright though overrated by fans but damn that’s sad if as bad as our oline has always been and is now we can’t even chose a retired Oline player over someone else

so I guess I’ll say luke

Not a "need" position at the moment but you can't measure someone with the fight and grit that Smith had.

IMO, still an all-time best WR. Who packed the pound-for-pound punch that Smitty did?

Imagine if he had Rice’s size or even Moss’. The guy is definitely the best pound for pound WR the NFL has ever seen.

You gotta consider a guy who’d also be a good locker room presence and a stable player in the film room and among his fellow position players. Oh and he needs to be an all-pro level player. Jordan Gross is the easy choice. Seeing CMC run behind him would be badass. Smith’s not a bad pick, but he would take away catches from Moore — not to mention how much he’d try to psychologically destroy him because he’s the first WR we’ve had since Smith with that level of big-play potential.

Likely luke 

[mc52beast]

Jordan Gross

[CRA]

Jimmy Clausen or Reggie White

Depends on what the goal of the season is.

Is it a "prime" year for the player?

If so, it would have to be Peppers or White.

He wasn’t here long but would Peanut count?

Position of need, but more importantly he was one of the better locker room leaders we’ve had, which I think would pay more dividends in our young defensive group than anything.

if we got Peanut in his prime (2011, 2012), then hell yeah. According to OP, he meets all the criteria, retired a Panther, and, in his prime would improve our team most by addressing our biggest need. 

[Waldo]

Peppers as a player. 

Those two cheerleaders that got fired that one time for entertainment that transcends football. It would make a rebuild year a lot easier if that was part of the package.

The eagles version of Evan Mathis

[Khyber53]

Jake Delhomme, but only if he could bring that "nobody could see us coming" magic that was 2003-2005. If you're rebuilding a team, he's the guy you want. That guy had all the heart and a crap ton of luck on his side.

Jordan Gross, Ryan Kalil, Chris Gamble.

At this day with their current age? Luke hands down. Gamble second

I believe the assumption here is that they are "prime" players we are talking about.

Otherwise there wouldn't be so many mentions of a player who is deceased.

And, as good as Luke is/was, he isn't close to our biggest need. Frankly, his impact would probably be significantly lessened(like it was last season) by our lack of depth on the DL.
