ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers struggle after fast start, lose 42-21 to Miami Dolphins

Despite jumping out to a 14-0 lead, the Carolina Panthers struggled offensively as the Miami Dolphins scored 35 straight points en route to a 42-21 win over the Panthers and rookie QB Bryce Young. Bryce Young showed improvement, but the offensively line struggled, and the defense was gashed once again for several big gains as Carolina dropped to a league-worst record of 0-6 in the NFL. The question going into the bye week is if the Carolina Panthers are looking to trade away players, including rumors of Derrick Brown, Brian Burns, Jeremy Chinn, and Donte Jackson. Should the Carolina Panthers make a trade? Dennis Cox & Chris Lea discuss if owner David Tapper, General Manager Scott Fitterer, and head coach Frank Reich should look to make moves now to improve the team for the 2024 NFL season, and even the 2025 season.
