Mike Kaye's game summary...

While there might be few panic attacks within the Carolina fan base this week, the Panthers played like a rebuilding team with a rookie quarterback in his NFL debut.

The Falcons, in general, didn’t come off as a significantly more impressive team — they just simply didn’t make as many mistakes. Teams that turn the ball over three times don’t win games in the NFL. It’s really that simple.

An 0-3 turnover ratio is a recipe for disaster.

Young’s detractors will point to this game as proof that he was a poor pick. They’ll also point to the stat lines for fellow top quarterback picks, CJ Stroud of the Houston Texans and Anthony Richardson of the Indianapolis Colts, and laud their performances over Young, despite all three signal-callers losing their debuts.

But the reality is this is just one game. Young has shown the ability to bounce back from bad moments several times in college and this summer. His outlook, while at least temporarily shaded by this performance, is still pretty bright.

A lot of the miscues on Sunday were likely the result of a lack of live reps within a young crew. Several teams suffered similar fates in Week 1.

While the game looked bad on paper and in the moment, it was ultimately just a letdown, and not worthy of a total lambasting.

Grading the Panthers: Week 1

      PLAYOFFS?! Ya kiddin' me? PLAYOFFS???

      By strato · Posted

      Hey if they could beat Seattle… tiebreaker head to head over GB, LARms, Seattle… win out the record is 11-6.  Now rap my knuckles for suggesting we win out, but that would be some funny poo. Talk about sneaking up on people.

      I expected 6 wins this season. I need to see the Panthers blow by that now that they exceeded it by 1. I like how Canales has schemed around the weaknesses on offense in the passing game. I am impressed with the receivers, run blocking, running back combo and secondary communication in zone. Defense and QB need more consistency. The improvement of the defensive play calling and critical 3rd down and 4Q passing when trailing is going to be what I am looking for going into the playoffs. If the Panthers can consistently regain the lead after trailing over the next 4 games, I can see them competing in the playoffs and worth a reevaluation of the last 2 seasons' weaknesses. This is the prove it or lose it moment in their Panthers careers for Young and Evero. No excuses.

      He's on the smaller size for a center (5'8" 175lbs) and he is a bit of a liability in the faceoff circle. But, he's a proven 60 pt player with room to grow. I'd still rather go get TT from Buffalo. Rossi would be a great consolation prize, though.
