Will Moose be in The Hall of Fame?

[littlebigman89]

I don't see it. 800 catches, only 61 TDs, only 2 Pro Bowls, no rings. He's done some good things for the Panthers, but he's not one of the best ever.

OP has to be trolling...

I'm trolling? I've been here longer than you have. I'm just bored so I thought I could get someone like you to entertain me.

[PhillyB]

unfortunately no

He might make it into the Propane Hall of Flame though.

I ask because next year he will most likely be eclipsing Michael Irvin in yardage and most likely in TD's as well.

I thought this too... but I think Irvin did it in 3 less years or so... Too lazy to look it up as usual though...

Even if Moose had been on the winning teams in the two super bowls he played in, I would still say no. He isn't even the most prolific reciever in Panther's history, as I still maintain that Wesley Walls should be at least considered, officially, for the Hall of Fame.

I respect and appreciate what Moose has done as a Panther. But, Moose really only had one outstanding year---not great, mind you, but outstanding. He has never sustained a top 5 or even top 10 level of performance for more than a year. He was never really a receiver who would strike fear in the opposition, or command double coverage. He has never taken his team to the top of the hill (but almost did). He is really not known for making spectacular catches or being an every play home run threat.

Yeah he has been solid in his work ethic and play on the filed, but at the end of the day his level of play is really not HOF material.

Smitty will eventually be the Panthers' all time leading WR, barring injury or more years with Jake, of course...

To me, he's the best the Panthers have ever had, including Walls...

[Samuel L. Jackson]

To Moose's credit, his own numbers don't show what he's done for our running game over the years... In my opinion, he's easily in the top 5 of blocking WRs of all time, but that won't get him any more notice from those that make those types of decisions...

No doubt he is a better recieving threat than Walls but Smith has other contemaries that are more than comparable. Smith will be compared to other WR like TO, Moss, Harrison, Ward and Holt while also having guys like Fitzgerald and A. Johnson rising to the top recently.

Walls on the other hand as a TE was probably only comparable to Sharpe during his time in the NFL. While prior to his time with the Panthers, Walls did win a Super Bowl with the 49er's and to this day is still mentioned when people talk about the Panthers needing a pass catching TE.

Thus the reason I said most prolific. To the masses, Smith might end up getting lost in the crowd while Walls clearly still stand out.

When Moose buys a ticket and walks inside.

Then he will be in the Hall Of Fame!

not a chance

Can't believe anyone would even think he's close...No chance.
