NFL expert Gary Davenport of Bleacher Report labeled Bryce Young of the Carolina Panthers as "a flawed quarterback." Davenport ranked the Panthers No. 22 in his Week 1 NFL power rankings.

SI's Albert Breer says the Panthers are considering some of the NFL's mistakes in the past to weigh their future with QB Bryce Young.

The Carolina Panthers' 2026 schedule was released along with the rest of the NFL slate Thursday. The Panthers will be in primetime three times this season, the most they've been under the lights since 2016 when they were coming off their 15-1 Super Bowl run.

ESPN has given the Panthers a projected win total of 6.7, despite them making the playoffs a year ago. Additionally, Carolina is being given a 13.9 percent chance to win the NFC South and just a 17.3 percent chance to make the playoffs.

ESPN's Dan Graziano offered up some insight on how the Panthers plan to work their backfield between Chuba Hubbard and Jonathon Brooks.

Dave Canales said there is still “some things to work out” in terms of how the tight ends impact the game-day math.

The Panthers might not be as bad as everyone expects.

Former Pro Bowler Darren Waller, who was signed three weeks ago, has jumped 2024 fourth-rounder Ja'Tavion Sanders for the No. 3 spot. Waller just received high praise from head coach Dave Canales, who told reporters on Monday that the soon-to-be 34-year-old is looking " big and fast " in practice.
