(Photo by Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images)   The Carolina Panthers and their fans weren’t as excited about this year’s NFL Draft. Trading for the No. 1 pick last season put them in a bit of a tough spot, and the franchise hasn’t exactly made the best choices lately. They drew mockery and criticism when they hired Frank Reich to be their next head coach, and firing him mid-season only proved the doubters wrong. Notably, team owner David Tepper has earned a bit of a bad reputation for being extremely hands-on, sometimes stepping on his employees’ toes, and being kind of impulsive in making dec ..read more

(Photo by David Jensen/Getty Images)   One of the most disappointing teams in the NFL last season was, without a doubt, the Carolina Panthers, who traded for the top pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and brought in a potential franchise quarterback, Bryce Young. The Panthers were aggressive in their pursuit of a young quarterback who could become a franchise quarterback and thought they had a better team than what the results of the 2023 campaign showed, which resulted in the team firing head coach Frank Reich. In the aftermath of Reich losing his job with the Panthers, the team decided to make ..read more

(Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)   The Carolina Panthers have a new WR1. The Dave Canales era is going to put an emphasis on offense, hoping that Bryce Young looks better than he did in his rookie season. Of course, any player can only do so much with the weapons he’s been given, which is why the Panthers went out of their way to get Diontae Johnson. Johnson knows he’s no longer a player for a playoff-caliber team, but he’s also well aware of the fact that he’s going to be asked to do some mentorship instead (via Around the NFL): “He’s accurate, smart,” Johnson said. “That’s what I’ve ..read more

(Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images)   The Carolina Panthers took a big leap of faith with Bryce Young. There was plenty to love about his tape and resume, but his small frame and lack of size were major concerns as he entered the league. Of course, with him dominating the SEC, which is the conference that provides the most NFL talent, some thought those concerns were overblown. His first season in the league proved the doubters right, at least for now. He struggled to find his footing, and while he wasn’t put in a position to succeed, he didn’t look ready to make an impact. Nonetheless ..read more

(Photo by Mike Comer/Getty Images)   First-year Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales was brought in to turn the Panthers into a winner again. Part of the job description also includes helping turn second-year quarterback Bryce Young into a much better NFL player. In an effort to achieve that, Canales, GM Dan Morgan, and owner David Tepper need to get him some more weapons. They already have veteran Adam Thielen. They also traded for Pro Bowl receiver Diontae Jonson earlier this offseason. Now, it appears as though they are focused on drafting some weapons for him. If Carolina is trul ..read more

(Photo by Paras Griffin/Getty Images)   The Carolina Panthers seemed to be in a new era when Cam Newton joined the team. He was viewed as one of the most electrifying players in the league at the time, seemingly poised to lead the team for the foreseeable future. Newton did put up an MVP campaign in 2015, bringing the Panthers to an impressive 15-1 record. He then led them to the Super Bowl against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos but ultimately fell short of his goal to win the big game. Newton recently appeared on “Club Shay Shay,” talking to Shannon Sharpe about what it felt like ..read more

(Photo by Scott Taetsch/Getty Images)   For the first time in his NFL career, former No. 1 pick Jadeveon Clowney will play close to home. Clowney reportedly had multiple opportunities to sign with the Carolina Panthers in the past, but he didn’t feel mature enough or ready to head back home. Now, entering the sunset of his career, the former South Carolina star is ready to get back to basics. However, as remarkable as his resume might be, Panthers DC Ejiro Evero believes he’ll bring way more than just experience to the table. As quoted by Joe Person of The Athletic, they didn’t only pursu ..read more

(Photo by Ian Maule/Getty Images)   The Carolina Panthers need to make the most of their most valuable asset. They gave up a lot to land Bryce Young, and the early returns weren’t encouraging. Of course, it’s never wise to count out a quarterback after a bad rookie season, and it’s not like he had a lot to work with. Still, given all the doubts and concerns about his size — or lack thereof — it seems like he won’t have the benefit of the doubt or a long leash like other young quarterbacks. With that in mind, former Panthers star Cam Newton gave him a piece of advice. Talking to Shannon Sh ..read more

(Photo by Mike Carlson/Getty Images)   Not many rookie quarterbacks find success right away in the NFL. It’s more usual to see guys struggle early and blossom later, like Peyton Manning, or guys who spend years on the sidelines before being given a chance, like Aaron Rodgers. Even so, there are high expectations that come with being the No. 1 pick, and Bryce Young wasn’t the exception to that trend. Despite some concerns about his small frame, the Alabama standout was the consensus No. 1 selection for most of the process, and the Carolina Panthers traded many assets to get him. His rookie ..read more

(Photo by Grant Halverson/Getty Images)   The Carolina Panthers better hope that Bryce Young turns out to be good. Barring a trade, they won’t have a first-round pick in the upcoming edition of the NFL Draft, so they must get creative to find value in the latter rounds. With that in mind, they’re going to host Western Kentucky WR Malachi Corley for a visit on Monday afternoon, according to a report by Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network.
