What’s Next for the Panthers After 1-4 Start?

It’s only the first full week of October, and yet the Panthers have once again endured a season’s worth of frustration after 5 games. At 1-4, the Panthers have already benched their #1 overall pick Bryce Young, lost defensive veterans Derrick Brown, and Shaq Thompson, as they’ve allowed the most points in the NFL, and trade rumors abound, for wide receivers, Diontae Johnson, and Adam Thielen. David Tepper appears to be in a patient state of mind, as he hasn’t pulled the trigger on firing Dave Canales or Dan Morgan, both of whom are in their first season in their respective roles. But at 1-4, and once again, not heading anywhere, the question is fair to be asked, what is next?

( function() {
var func = function() {
var iframe = document.getElementById(‘wpcom-iframe-44ac16b7f3b0829cf3bc655e94f3adcc’)
if ( iframe ) {
iframe.onload = function() {
iframe.contentWindow.postMessage( {
‘msg_type’: ‘poll_size’,
‘frame_id’: ‘wpcom-iframe-44ac16b7f3b0829cf3bc655e94f3adcc’
}, “https://embeds.go.ione.nyc” );
}
}

// Autosize iframe
var funcSizeResponse = function( e ) {

var origin = document.createElement( ‘a’ );
origin.href = e.origin;

// Verify message origin
if ( ’embeds.go.ione.nyc’ !== origin.host )
return;

// Verify message is in a format we expect
if ( ‘object’ !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type )
return;

switch ( e.data.msg_type ) {
case ‘poll_size:response’:
var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id );

if ( iframe && ” === iframe.width )
iframe.width = ‘100%’;
if ( iframe && ” === iframe.height )
iframe.height = parseInt( e.data.height );

return;
default:
return;
}
}

if ( ‘function’ === typeof window.addEventListener ) {
window.addEventListener( ‘message’, funcSizeResponse, false );
} else if ( ‘function’ === typeof window.attachEvent ) {
window.attachEvent( ‘onmessage’, funcSizeResponse );
}
}
if (document.readyState === ‘complete’) { func.apply(); /* compat for infinite scroll */ }
else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( ‘DOMContentLoaded’, func, false ); }
else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( ‘onreadystatechange’, func ); }
} )();

Earlier today, Joe Person, who covers the Panthers for The Athletic, joined the Mac & Bone Show, to talk about the state of the Panthers at 1-4, he gives his thoughts on what is next for the QB position in Carolina, how Dave Canales and Dan Morgan are doing in their first season, and more.
