Welcome to Ask Brian, part one of your weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone! Sam Darnold, and the Seahawks triumphed over the New England Patriots on Sunday to crown the next Super Bowl winner. Carolina played both those teams and unfortunately lost by pretty big margins though the games started out quite close. The Panthers now heading into the off-season with some momentum, but clearly need to answer a lot of questions before they could ever be in the conversation as a Super Bowl contender. This is a fact of life in the NFL, but looking forward the Panthers do have a solid core. They can build around, while they figure out if Bryce Young is the guy to lead them into the future. At least we\u2019re not talking about losing football for another off-season in a row.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">You all know the drill, comment down below with all of your questions, whether they be Panthers related, football related, or even completely off-topic!
