stud. stud career

 

[mrschaney]

Overrated.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Solid career. Hope he does well in his life after playing.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

One of the best modern pass rushers. 159.5 sacks, up there with Bruce Smith, Kevin Greene, Reggie White, and Doleman. Pretty good Company right there... should be a 1st ballot HOF.

 

[DHoey]

Congrats to him! Great career, stud from day 1.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

clear SHOULD be HOFer... question is whether it is as obvious to the committee as it is to EVERYONE else...

 

[packerzrule]

Dude was a beast and IMO a first ballot HOFer

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Yeah, 4th all time in sacks, 2nd in forced fumbles, 2nd career tackles for loss, 9 time pro-bowler and 3 time 1st team all pro. That should be a no-brainer for HOF voters. I see him getting in first ballot.

Yeah was never a problem player, played with passion and talked well of others...

 

[Tortilla Launcher]

Classy letter.

Hell of a career.

Indeed...he did it as a 43 DE...morphed into a 34 OLB in GB, and back to a 43 DE to close. Should be 1st ballot, but that's a tough room. When Jason Taylor is and Michael Strahan is not...makes you wonder.

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

Class act all the way and no question in my mind that he's a first round HOFer.

 

[beardown07]

Overrated.

yer face is overrated

He really was....

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

A great Panther

 

[NinerSickness]

Not the GOAT, but possibly the most talented.

 

[steelerssb]

Would liked to have seen him win a title

 

[GhostOfPoverty]

One of the GOAT's of his position, without a doubt. I remember being so stoked when he left the Bears, only for the news to break that he was joining up with the Packers several years back. Then he finally went back home to the Panthers, but not before spending 7 quality years on teams other than the Vikes in the NFC North, lol. It's pretty cool that he got to play out a solid 2-year farewell stint with his original team, all while maintaining a pretty high level of play for his age.

One of 4 that are still playing that I want to see win a title. Now it is 3
