  "account": "The Carolina Panthers, who clinched the NFC South last season, appeared far removed from their previous selves during their preseason matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Quarterback Bryce Young, who had a stellar campaign last year, was visibly displeased with the offensive performance. \"Obviously not the start we wanted,\" Young stated to Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith. \"We weren't able to execute today. It sucks.\" Young's dissatisfaction seems to extend to the entirety of the offense, but his individual efforts were limited, as he completed three of his five passes for 18 yards, with no touchdowns and one sack. While it is common for teams to be tentative at the start of preseason, Young acknowledges that his team needs to perform significantly better when they face the Jacksonville Jaguars next. \"We all want to do a better job, myself included,\" Young emphasized. \"We all take ownership in that. Guys will look in the mirror, want to be better, so we’re going to be better.\" Last season, Young had his best NFL season yet, throwing for a career-high 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, and added 216 rushing yards and two more scores. The Panthers are banking on Young to carry them to another division title in 2026.",
