Processing Blue: Reaction to Bryce Young’s 1st game. Can QB, Panthers rebound in Week 2?

On this week’s episode of Processing Blue, Charlotte Observer columnist Scott Fowler joins host Langston Wertz Jr. to talk about last week’s loss to Atlanta and the upcoming Monday night game with New Orleans.

Fowler talks about the prospects of starting 0-2 and when, if not Monday, he thinks the Panthers might win. Also on the podcast, we discuss:

▪ Aaron Rodgers’ injury.

▪ Bryce Young’s Week 1 performance and how it can get better.

▪ What the New Orleans Saints, Carolina’s Week 2 opponent, has that the Panthers are missing.

▪ Other than Brian Burns, which Panthers defender is the best right now?

▪ How Young’s wide receivers are performing so far, and who might emerge.
