Through two weeks, the Carolina Panthers new-look offense has been anemic. Rookie QB Bryce Young has failed to establish a rhythm with his WRs and a running game that we effective in Week 1 was abandoned in the Week 2 loss against New Orleans. Thanks to these struggles, after only two weeks Panthers fans are calling for Panthers head coach Frank Reich to give up the playcalling duties and hand them over to offensive coordinator Thomas Brown.Following the game on Monday night, Reich responded to a question about whether he's contemplated giving up his responsibilities. Reich said that he felt that it was in the best interest of the team for him to remain in the primary playcalling role. Despite Reich feeling this way, is that the best thing for the Panthers moving forward?The Panthers are likely to be without LB Shaq Thompson for the remainder of the season after he suffered a fractured fibula on Monday night.

The state of the Carolina Panthers wide receiver core was a topic of discussion entering the 2023 NFL season. The Panthers opted to trade away top receiver DJ Moore to the Chicago Bears in order to obtain the No. 1 overall pick, which led them to Bryce Young. In an attempt to rebuild the wide receiver room, Carolina added veterans Adam Thielen, DJ Chark, and Damiere Byrd and drafted rookie Jonathan Mingo.Unfortunately, to this point, it's been a snakebitten group as Byrd was placed on IR during camp and is no longer with the team, Byrd missed the opener in Atlanta, and Thielen along with a few others have dealt with injuries. Even more concerning was the Panthers wide receivers catching eight passes on 15 targets for a lowly 63 yards. How concerned should the organization be about its wide receiver room heading into Week 2?Julian Council answers this question among other listener questions in this week's edition of the Weekly Wednesday Mailbag on Locked On Panthers.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Jase M

While the Panthers are among the league leaders in salary cap space, Burns isn't the only player in need of a new deal. Defensive starters Jeremy Chinn and Frankie Luvu are both slated to be free agents come March.
