Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually.  As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Carolina Panthers. 

As for all of our top 50 players in football, we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Panthers won only five games and were fortunate to achieve that.  Despite the franchise's relative brevity, there were no new entrants and only one change on the list.

As always, we present our top five, which remains unchanged in that ranking.

1. Steve Smith Sr.
2. Cam Newton
3. Luke Kuechly
4. Julius Peppers
5. Ryan Kalil 

You can find the entire list here.

The only change was Offensive Tackle Taylor Moton, who reached #26 from #35.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

1980 SEMI-FINAL RESULTS:

Thank you for your participation in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are unaware of what that is, we acted like the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946.

We have completed the years up to 1979.

For “1980,” a Preliminary Vote with nearly 100 players whose playing career ended by 1974. We are also following the structure, where players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool.

Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the preliminary list, and the top 25 vote-getters were named Semi-Finalists.

A week later, the voters were asked to pick 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, and next week, they will pick five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process every week until we catch up to the current year.

30 Votes took place, with the top fifteen advancing.

Thank you to all who contributed. If you want to be part of this project, please let us know!

Regular visitors to Notinhalloffame.com are aware that we are gradually compiling the top 50 lists for every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. As such, it is important to us that Georgia Tech has announced the addition of eight new members to its prestigious institution.

The new class will be inducted on October 10 and will be honored during the Yellow Jackets' home game against Virginia Tech the following day.

The new inductees are:

Anders Albertson, Golf, 2010-15.  Albertson earned three All-America honors and won the ACC Championship twice (2013 and 2015).  He also won three other college tournaments and helped the Yellow Jackets win three conference championships.

Jim Culpepper, Women’s Basketball, 1974-80.  Culpepper was Georgia Tech’s inaugural Women’s Basketball Head Coach and set a still-standing school single-season winning percentage of .852 in 1977-78.  He also worked on the Women’s Volleyball, Tennis, and Softball programs for the school.

Zane Evans, Baseball, 2011-13.  In 2013, Evans was a Finalist for the Johnny Bench Award as the Nation’s top Catcher, and was also a semi-finalist for the Golden Spikes Award and Dick Howser Trophy in a year he batted .361.  He helped Georgia Tech win the 2012 ACC Title.

Shaq Mason, Football, 2011-14.  Mason helped Georgia Tech win four ACC Coastal Division titles, win two bowl Games, and was an All-ACC player as a senior.  As a pro, Mason helped the New England Patriots win two Super Bowls.

Montrell Person, Track and Field, 2001-05.  One of the most prolific hurdlers in Georgia Tech history, Person secured All-America honors twice and won four ACC Championships (in 2004 and 2005, both in the 60m and 110m events).

Ollie Schniederjans, Golf, 2010-15.  Schneiderjans was a First Team All-American twice, a three-time All-ACC Selection, and won the 2014 ACC Player of the Year.  He helped Georgia Tech win the ACC three times, and individually, he won six tournaments.

Juan Spir, Tennis, 2009-13.  Spir is regarded as the top doubles player in school history with an institutional record of 103 wins.  He was named an All-American three times.

Matt Weibring, Golf, 1999-2002.  Weibring was a Third-Team All-American in 2002 and helped the Yellow Jackets win the 2001 and 2002 ACC Championships.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the incoming members of the Georgia Tech Athletic Hall of Fame.
