The Panthers just suffered yet another devastating loss, falling to 0-2 after a 26-3 defeat against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Rookie quarterback Bryce Young, the former No. 1 overall pick, has completed 55.4% of his passes for 245 yards with no touchdowns and three interceptions, resulting in a passer rating of just 44.1. His struggles, combined with the team’s poor offensive showing, have raised concerns about the direction of the franchise.

The Carolina Panthers have now become the third team since the NFL merger to trail by more than 20 points at halftime in the first two games of the season. The Panthers have scored just 28 first-half points in their last 10 games combined and have been outscored 150-28 over that stretch, which reflects the team’s ongoing inability to generate any offensive momentum early in games.
With Bryce Young struggling to gain control of the offense, the Panthers have become the first team since the 2022 Giants to score 10 or fewer points in four consecutive games. They’ve also failed to reach 200 total yards in each of those games, a feat last matched by the 2009 Browns. As fans and analysts question the quarterback’s readiness, the team faces growing pressure to make adjustments before their season slips further away.
