Take: “On Sunday morning, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that the Panthers are not expected to pursue a quarterback in the draft, which seemed to confirm the notion that the franchise was impressed by Bryce Young's recent development.” The Sunday Afternoon gave Carolina even more reason to believe that bypassing a QB is the right offseason approach. Despite some difficult phases in the second half, Young played well again and took a commanding lead with 30 seconds left in regulation time. He did what he had to do in overtime. The Panthers made their own bed with a series of bad passes, penalties and Chuba Hubbard's late fumble within field goal range. At this point, the progress of Young and the offense carries more weight than wins and losses, and it was also good to see some promising action from Jonathon Brooks. Carolina still needs more pieces offensively, but the shell of this unit is slowly taking shape.”
