Numbers that should be retired...

Kasay and Mills, that's about it for the Jersey Retiring right now.

Agreed. Mills' jersey was retired in '05 by the Saints and Panthers. Kasay should be considered, but his work isn't done yet.

I just don't see the arguments for retiring any other jerseys. You guys should take a look at other teams and the jerseys they've retired. The lists are generally very small and limited to first-ballot hall of famers or those who suffered great tragedies. And when I say small, I'm talking a max of ten numbers retired, and these are franchises that have existed for decades.

It's way to early to say anything about Steve Smith. If he ends his career here, wins a Super Bowl, and has HoF-worthy stats, then he should be considered.

i think retired jerseys should be for those folks who help the team win a championship or transformed the teams identity.

I disagree, I think there are players deserving of this kind of recognition short of winning a championship or "transforming" a team.

Retiring a # is about individual contributions to the team - the Dolphins retired Dan Marino's number and he never brought them a championship.

I would let Kasey be retired. We are not that old of a franchise and he is the ONLY player that has been with us since it all started. If he finishes his career here in Carolina I'd say give it to him for being the first true Panther. Is he HOF ..prob not. But he deserves something permanent from the Panthers.

Steve Smith is the only other player that has a shot when his career is over.
