There might be something happening within the Carolina Panthers. Morale is reaching levels not seen for years. While there have been fleeting moments of encouragement throughout team owner David Tepper's tenure, there was very little substance attached.
This feels different.
Dave Canales is installing the correct culture. Everyone has bought in, and momentum is building. But if the Panthers want this to continue, they'll have to do it without starting quarterback Bryce Young, who'll reportedly miss Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills and potentially longer with a high ankle sprain.
It's a blow, but the Panthers are a much more well-rounded operation these days.
