Dave Canales could not have envisioned a worse start to the Carolina Panthers' 2025 campaign. Any momentum they carried from the previous season dissipated into thin air. A disappointing defeat against the Jacksonville Jaguars also left the head coach explaining the team's failings to impatient owner David Tepper.
The conversation between the Panthers’ owner and coach will remain behind closed doors. Canales did not shed light on what was said. One would have to imagine a conversation about the Panthers’ quarterback sat atop their agenda.
Bryce Young appeared to be at odds with his coach.
