"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.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
