And this is how you make a legend...

"And this is how a legend starts." That's what I said to my wife when the Panthers lined up at their own four yard line on fourth down and ten, behind by eight points. It was meant to be ironic, sarcastic and just a way of saying, it's done, let's call it a day.

And then Darnold took the ball, dropped back and threw a dart forty yards down field to Ian Frikkin' Thomas.

And then he converted another first down by running it.

And then the fourth down conversion to DJ Moore.

And then miracle of miracles a pass in the end zone is caught by slick-handed Sideshow Bob Anderson.

And then Sam Darnold flicks a shovel pass in heavy traffic to rookie TE Tommy Tremble for the two point conversion and the tie.

And then the defense holds up enough for a missed FG to throw this game into overtime. We went from one of our worst games to a nail-biter.

It was over after the first Minnesota possession and we're three and three right now, back in the losing skid.

But don't hang this one on Sam Darnold. He did the unthinkable, the unimaginable. He put a team on his back and willed it 96 yards down the field to tie a game that we had no business being in. It's a loss, so the legend wasn't born, it'll just fade away into vapors. But don't give up on Sam yet. On a day when everyone else was losing the game for him, he carried the Carolinas on his back and gave us something to believe in, something to grown on.

Coulda been. The narrative going forward at 4-2 with that type of a 96 yard drive would have been really positive for Darnold and the Panthers but instead we didn't draft enough defense to get a stop. Clearly needed to trade for more defenders. 

At least 3-4 more corners.

That's funny. Before the first play of the game, I looked over at my wife and told her "And this is how a legend starts..." It was meant to be sarcastic as I thought he'd be sacked immediately... 

but the oline just blocked and blocked and blocked and Sam just read and read and read and threw the best ball he could... I tell you hwat, Sam willed that ball right into the defenders hands. Amazing to watch, really.

Khyber63 sounds like something I'd like to smoke. Much like this premise.

It sounds like you need to lay off whatever it is you are smoking right now.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By strato · Posted

      I am gonna believe it wasn’t us if the 4th round pick price is accurate. We needed 225 points to get from 19 to their pick. 875 at 19 to 1100 at 14.  Our 2026 4th was valued at 56 points I think. A future 4th has less value. So that wasn’t close to enough.    It would have taken our third and our fourth. Comes within a point of even.    Now, moving to their spot in the second round we could have done but after Miami took Rodriguez why would we?

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By Zaximus · Posted

      I mean it's expected.  This is the NBA.  And they hate the Charlotte Hornets.  Flagg was also the guy "magically" given to the Mavs who lost Luca to the wildly popular Lakers.  Was always an uphill battle.  But the award is BS since it's not voted on before play-in starts. Kon probably lost because of the play-in as many people switched votes.  It was a regular season award, so this is some nonsense.  Kon also didn't have the luxury of taking 10 games off to rest up injuries like Flagg did.  If he did, he wouldn't have been nursing his back the last month.  I mean, screw him for being on an actual playoff team that matters.  Flagg took tons of shots a game, he was wildly inefficient.  Kon was a huge reason the Hornets made the play-in and turned the season around after Jan.   I think Flagg will probably be the better player long term, or at least the most impact.  But Kon should have won ROTY.
