How could Jonathon Brooks' injury affect the Carolina Panthers decision-making this offseason?

What impact will Jonathon Brooks' injury have on the Carolina Panthers in 2025? Following a second ACL tear in 13 months, the Panthers' rookie RB is set to miss the remainder of the regular season and likely a large portion of the 2025 season. How significant of a void will this create on the Panthers' roster? How will his anticipated absence affect the Panthers' decision-making this offseason?

While the Panthers have fallen short in the past three weeks, with all games against division leaders, QB Bryce Young has appeared to fulfill the role of the No. 1 pick and potential franchise quarterback. Does Young's development along with the Panthers' current position in the top five of the 2025 NFL Draft represent the ideal scenario for the franchise?

What influence has Panthers OC Brad Idzik had in the team's offensive turnaround? Could he potentially assume playcalling duties in the future?

Julian Council addresses these listener questions in this Weekly Mailbag edition of Locked On Panthers. hers.
