Take: "Bryce Young deserves some praise for leading two straight victories, even if he wasn't special while beating the Giants on Sunday in Germany. There were some strong throws and not many regrettable ones. Dave Canales seems to still be slow-playing it with Young, refusing to state his starting plans immediately after games. But the trade deadline came and went without any real Young buzz; between that and his steadier recent play, it seems there might be a realistic path for Young to regain the QB1 job for good in Carolina. Recently extended running back Chuba Hubbard has given the Panthers a power source offensively, and some of the young pass catchers are starting to carve out roles. The much-maligned defense had one of its better performances of the season, even if it came against the offensively challenged Giants."

Take(on team's non-QB MVP, Chuba Hubbard): "He's the MVP of the team, period. He's third in the NFL in rushing with 818 yards, including a career-best 153 on Sunday. He's played so well the Panthers rewarded him with a four-year, $33 million extension even with second-round pick Jonathon Brooks waiting in the wings. As GM Dan Morgan and coach Dave Canales have said, Hubbard embodies the culture and work ethic the team wants to build around."

Take: "It's good they won't have the No. 1 overall pick in the draft; it'll save them from being snubbed by the top prospect."

Take: "Chuba Hubbard is having a spectacular season. He had 153 yards and a touchdown in Carolina's win over the Giants. The Panthers last week signed him to a four-year, $33.2 million extension, and he has earned it."
