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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
