There aren't many teams who won five or fewer games with more optimism than the Carolina Panthers heading into the offseason. That's a strange thing to say, but the improvements made over the second half of 2024 represent a shining light at the end of a very dark tunnel. For the first offseason since David Tepper assumed ownership of the franchise, there is stability. There is no need for another head coach after Dave Canales left a tremendous impression in his first season. The Panthers have general manager Dan Morgan — someone with the purpose and professionalism to run the football operation effectively. They also have a franchise quarterback. Bryce Young's incredible turnaround since coming back into the starting lineup was a breath of fresh air. He displayed the resolve, poise, and composure to change his concerning narrative. More importantly, the locker room believes and he's playing with a swagger that's hard not to love.
