and has suffered six straight losing
seasons. For the third time in the last
five years, the Panthers fired their coach
during the season, this time giving Frank
Reich his pink slip after only 11 games.
The quarterback play of 2023 No. 1 draft
pick Bryce Young was so bad that buyer’s
remorse has already set in and the
Panthers are reviewing North Carolina’s
lemon laws. Rookie coach Dave Canales
has inherited a dumpster fire.
