How can the Panthers’ win over Falcons help Bryce Young the rest of the 2023 season?

The Panthers received a glimmer of hope within a forgettable season Sunday when Bryce Young led his second come-from-behind, game-winning drive of the campaign.

This year’s first overall draft pick has received his fair share of criticism for his uneven rookie season, but Young was able to make the most of a fourth-quarter turnover with a 17-play, 90-yard field goal drive to push the Panthers past the Atlanta Falcons, 9-7.

On the latest episode of the “Processing Blue” podcast, host Langston Wertz Jr. and Panthers beat writer Mike Kaye discuss what that game-winning drive meant for the team and, in particular, Young. The rookie quarterback has flashed moments of greatness, but Sunday’s success offered a full glimpse of what Young could become down the road.

Plus, Wertz and Kaye discuss the upcoming coaching search as well as an offseason checklist for whoever is in charge in March. That and more on this week’s Processing Blue.
