The Carolina Panthers showcased significant improvement in their last preseason game, particularly through the performance of quarterback Bryce Young. After much anticipation regarding his readiness, Young completed 6 of 8 passes for 70 yards and a touchdown, demonstrating noticeable growth under new offensive coordinator Dave Canales. Young's comfortable pocket presence and execution of plays suggest a positive trajectory moving into the regular season. Canales has a track record of developing quarterbacks and seems to be instilling confidence in Young, crucial after his rough debut season.

The coaching adjustment and game-time experience highlight the importance of on-field practice for assessing player development. Young’s performance not only pleased fans but also gave media analysts a solid foundation to discuss his potential and future role within the team.
