Carolina's Week 1 showed the offense playing with a slowed cadence as playcalls arrived late, underscoring communication gaps between Bryce Young, the center, and the rest of the line. Austin Corbett’s snap accuracy and pass protection drew the harshest grades, prompting talk of bench options like Cade Mays or Brady Christensen. Head coach Dave Canales acknowledged fault, hinting at potential personnel tweaks to stabilize Week 2, a development that could shift fantasy expectations for the Panthers’ passing game.
