The Carolina Panthers are facing challenges with quarterback Bryce Young as he navigates a tough season. Despite returning to the lineup in Week 8, Young's statistics have not reflected the quality of his performance. His ability to throw deep, evade pressure, and make plays with his legs has been evident, yet he has struggled to achieve impressive numbers due to his receivers' shortcomings.

Young's performance has been overshadowed by a series of dropped passes from his receiving corps. Notably, rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette has faced difficulties, potentially due to a wrist injury, but he is not alone. Other receivers, including David Moore, JT Sanders, and Adam Thielen, have also missed opportunities, leading to a significant impact on Young's statistical output.

The Panthers are aware that improvements are needed, particularly in their receiving group. With an offseason focused on upgrading their defense, they must also prioritize enhancing their wide receiver talent. The team's success hinges on finding reliable receivers who can run precise routes and secure catches. If these adjustments are made, Young's potential to elevate his game to a top-10 quarterback level could become a reality.
