The Carolina Panthers are a disappointing 1-8 in Year 1 of Frank Reich. The team has struggled to develop rookie QB Bryce Young and put together a successful offensive scheme and playmaker around him. This has called into question Reich's job status in Carolina. Reich is only a year removed from being fired after the Indianapolis Colts started the season 1-7. The Panthers opted to hire Reich instead of interim head coach Steve Wilks, who led the team to a 6-6 finish in 2022. In the event that Panthers owner David Tepper moves on from Reich, could he right a wrong and potentially lure Wilks back home to Charlotte?GM Scott Fitterer appears to be next on the chopping block if there are changes to be made in Carolina.

The Carolina Panthers offense hit a new low on Thursday Night Football as they posted a season-low 213 yards of offense combined with 12 first downs.

Julian Council discusses how the Panthers offense has finally hit rock bottom.At 1-8, is it all but a certainty that Frank Reich will be a one-and-done in Carolina? Reich's offense has been a failure. The players that were brought in to assist Bryce Young haven't panned out. What more does Tepper need to see?

The 1-7 Carolina Panthers are back in primetime as they head to the Windy City to face the 2-7 Chicago Bears on Thursday Night Football. The two teams made headlines in the offseason when the Panthers sent over a draft haul in order to move up to No. 1 to draft Bryce Young.

Fields will miss out again with a finger injury as undrafted free agent Tyson Bagent will look to bounce back from a four-turnover day. Young will also be hoping to make up for his rough outing vs. Indianapolis and hope to prove that the Panthers made the right decision when they traded up for him back in March.Julian Council and Locked On Bears host Lorin Cox discuss the top storylines, key matchups, and paths to victory for each team on this Locked On NFL Crossover Thursday edition of Locked On Panthers.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetterHelpThis episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
