5 favorite panthers of all time


89=#1

Recommended Posts

All Time:

1. Sam Mills - big heart and a very excellent player. Helped define what a carolina panther should be. We were just an expansion franchise at that point, he turned us into a real football team.

2. Steve Smith - Nobody wants the ball more than he does. When we're out of games he's one of the only guys we have still giving it his all. His fire and passion is unmatched. If he doesn't make the Hall of Fame he certainly should be given a statue. I know that's big talk for a guy that's had some issues but we won't ever have another player like him for a long time.

3. Julius Peppers - The hometown hero. A freak of nature. If he had smith's passion he'd probably kill people. It's dissapointing when he has his funks but when he's on that bull rush is so damned impressive. I hope he goes into the Hall of Fame as panther.

4a. Jake Delhome - unforunately his history is a tulmultuous one. I'm afraid he'll be remembered more for his follies than his victories. He was very special at times. He should have been benched but it was never his decision, all he did was give it his all.

4b. Wesley Walls - amazing player, a true icon for the panthers. He's far better than Jake, but Jake pulls ahead due to 2003. I just can't not have jake on here. But Walls deserves mad props.

5a. John Kasay - been around forver. Will be a mainstay in the charlotte comunity. Again defines what a carolina panther is.

5b. Steve Beuerlein - again just a great guy. He's near the bottom because he was really a journeyman who found a niche here. He's a great guy who made his home here.

5c. Mike Minter/Mike Rucker - the #5 area is really just for the great guys that I can't bare to leave out. They wern't All pro every year but they were pretty good in their prime. They've made their homes here and they'll be great leaders for years to come. Maybe even coaches.

Jon Beason, and Deangelo Williams will probably move up into this list but it's not their time yet. If Stewart stays he'll go jointly with Williams.

I have to many favs for just five so Ima make a list of my top 5 ex panthers and my top 5 current panthers

former panthers

5. Reggie white - although he was only here a year growing up a fan of Reggie white it was awesome for me to see him in a panthers jeresy.

4. Ricky prohel- dude was butter also a key player in our superbowl run

3. Dan Morgan - this dude is a true panther on and off the field .. Also Morgans autograph was the 1st ever got from a panther.

1. Stephen Davis- was our best running back until recently.. Lots of good memories

Top 5 active.

5. Chris gamble - he's an awesome cb and he keeps impressing me

4.Peppers - even when he not giving 100 he's stil better than most DE in the league

3. Double trouble - yes I put two ppl in one answer but they are the soul of our offense..

2. Brad Hoover - who do u think gives double troulbe open holes with awesome blocks

1. Smitty- best panther in franchise history, has done more for this team than anyone player.. He is the heart of the panthers ..

I could keep going on too.. Kasay, Thomas Davis, Beason, Chad cota, Fred lane, rocket ismel , moose, Sam mills could make the list as well.

1.) Steve Smith (The best WR our team ever has in history so far.)

2.) Sam Mills (What more can you say about him? 'Nuff said!)

3.) DeAngelo Williams (He has seem to gotten better than Stephen Davis now.)

4.) Jake Delhomme (He suck lately, but he was the best during his early years & before the surgery. Best QB in our franchise IMHO.)

5.) Julius Peppers (His name said it all. One hell of a DE.)

Honorable mentions: Kevin Greene, Jon Beason, Jonathan Stewart, Wesley Walls, & Kasay.

God, there so many to list that this would be a top 10 or 20 here. :D :D

Don't know why I've never searched for a Panther's message board, came across it just now in a google search for something about the team. Been a fan since day 1 and a die hard since season 2, as you will see why in my list of favorite players.

5. Kasay

4. Moose

3. Peppers

2. Smitty

1. And my all time favorite Panther hasn't been mentioned once in this thread, and unfortunately for a good reason, but he's still my #1 and always will be.

Tshimanga Biakabutuka

I visited the HOF the year before we came into the league, liked the logo and bought a mini helmet, and then followed the team in the first year. I grew up a Michigan fan and he was my favorite player there, so when we took him in the second year I was hooked, been a die hard ever since. I rotate my Smitty jersey and my authentic Biakabutuka jersey after losses, but always start the season out with the Biakabutuka. Watching the games at bars here in Michigan the jersey is always a nice conversation starter as many people here still remember him as one of the best Michigan backs of all time. Had he not had the knee problems I have no doubt in my mind that he would have been a complete stud and have led us to a Super Bowl.
