The Carolina Panthers are poised for a breakout season, primarily driven by the revival of quarterback Bryce Young. After a rocky start, Young demonstrated elite potential, finishing the second half of the last season as one of the top quarterbacks. The Panthers have also secured veteran Andy Dalton on a two-year deal, solidifying their quarterback situation. While the focus shifts to maximizing Young's talents, the team's defense remains a crucial area for improvement, where they need to build around emerging stars like Jaycee Horn.

With the NFC South being a division of opportunity, the Panthers could surprise many if key players perform well. The discussion also highlights the challenges faced by other teams in the division, particularly the New Orleans Saints, who seem to be undergoing an identity crisis, particularly at the quarterback position. The potential for the Panthers to disrupt the established order in the NFC South adds intrigue to the upcoming season.
