This roster seems devoid of men who know this legacy and the impact of this man, and I hope discussion may help change that

Sam Mills could’ve been at home taking care of himself, not working 15 hour work days for that familiar Panther logo.

but it meant that much to him. 

get up in this thread and spend some time thinking on the man who truly Kept Pounding on the day he finally gets what he earned.

“Delhomme’s most poignant memory of Mills came earlier that season, a few days after a loss to Dallas. Delhomme recalled feeling sore, sluggish and uncharacteristically sorry for himself as he walked to practice. Then Mills jogged past, slapped Delhomme on the back side and said, "Let’s go get better."

Delhomme refers to that moment as an awakening in which he told himself: "You need to grow up and try to be just a tenth of this guy."

"Everybody knew he was dying," Delhomme continued. "He was doing chemo. And he’s running out to practice ... and he’s going to coach his ass off."

That's amazing.

I was traveling for the actual induction but was able to see the replay on AFN today.

I think they did a great job of mixing both New Orleans and Carolina videos.  As a player he was with New Orleans longer and a part of one of the best linebacking Corps in NFL history.  However, overall Sam spent more time with Carolina as a player/coach.  So the mix was good.   I glad they mentioned the mantra several times because it is a part of Carolina as much as the Washington fight song or J.E.T.S Jets Jets Jets is for NY.  

I was happy to see him make it.  We'll have a few more soon in SS Sr and JP and Luke.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
