The Carolina Panthers are through the first two days of Training Camp and eyes are on second-year QB Bryce Young as he looks to take a major step forward under head coach Dave Canales' tutelage. Canales largely earned the Panthers job due to his successful reclamation projects of Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. What should the expectations be for Bryce Young considering quarterbacks' recent success working with Canales?

The Panthers made massive changes on the defensive side of the ball this offseason losing several notable players, including Brian Burns, Frankie Luvu, and Donte Jackson. Could the defensive departures lead to the Panthers being an overall worse team than they were in 2023?

Chuba Hubbard will take the reins as the lead back in Carolina this fall. What does Hubbard need to do this season to earn an extension in Carolina?

Julian Council answers those questions among other listener questions in this week's edition of the Weekly Friday Mailbag.
