Wednesday Mailbag: Would Frank Reich giving up playcalling duties improve the Carolina Panthers offense?

Locked On Panthers - Daily Podcast On The Carolina Panthers

Through two weeks, the Carolina Panthers new-look offense has been anemic. Rookie QB Bryce Young has failed to establish a rhythm with his WRs and a running game that we effective in Week 1 was abandoned in the Week 2 loss against New Orleans. Thanks to these struggles, after only two weeks Panthers fans are calling for Panthers head coach Frank Reich to give up the playcalling duties and hand them over to offensive coordinator Thomas Brown.

Following the game on Monday night, Reich responded to a question about whether he's contemplated giving up his responsibilities. Reich said that he felt that it was in the best interest of the team for him to remain in the primary playcalling role. Despite Reich feeling this way, is that the best thing for the Panthers moving forward?

The Panthers are likely to be without LB Shaq Thompson for the remainder of the season after he suffered a fractured fibula on Monday night. Now that two key starters on defense, Thompson and Jaycee Horn are out, can the Panthers unit still be a top defense in the NFL?

Julian Council answers these questions among other listener questions in this week's edition of the Weekly Wednesday Mailbag on Locked on Panthers.
