Reich\u2019s offense has been difficult, weighed down by poor blocking, a non-existent run game, and a receiver crew lacking in playmakers. Worst of all were the struggles of No.1 overall pick Bryce Young. The quarterback has shown poor habits amid the losses and rarely displays playmaking ability. Frank assigning play-calling to Brown and then taking them back did not help Carolina\u2019s inconsistent offense.

Considering the amount the Panthers invested in Young, including conceding 2024 first-round pick, which presently sits No.1 overall, watching the young signal-caller make progress is essential in the final six matches.

Ownership obviously did not believe the development would come with Reich in charge.

Now it is up to Brow and Caldwell to change the story of Carolina during the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
