Carolina Panthers

2023 Carolina Panthers season recap: Is there still time for Bryce Young to get right?

The Carolina Panthers are in the throes of a monumental offseason — between searching for a new head coach and a new general manager and making important free agency decisions thereafter — and The Charlotte Observer is here to break it all down.

On the latest episode of Processing Blue, The Observer’s podcast devoted to covering the Panthers in all their troubles and triumphs, Observer beat writers Mike Kaye and Alex Zietlow sit down to talk about just about everything under the Carolina sun.

Who is the team’s ideal next head coach? What about GM? What should the Panthers do about the looming free agencies of inside linebacker Frankie Luvu and pass rusher Brian Burns? And how should we evaluate Bryce Young in Year 1?

All this and more is discussed on Processing Blue, which can be watched on our YouTube channel and listened to at the embed below, Spotify, Apple Music or wherever else you get your podcasts.
