The Carolina Panthers 2023 came to a fitting end as the team was shut out, 26-0, by the Jacksonville Jaguars on New Year's Eve. The scoreline represented the first time the Panthers had been held scoreless since 2002. Before the conclusion of the game, Panthers owner David Tepper was caught on video appearing to throw a drink at a fan. Julian Council discusses how Tepper's behavior is yet another example of the No. 1 problem the Panthers have to deal with entering 2024.

Entering the final week of the 2023 regular season, the Carolina Panthers have two big roster questions concerning two their former first-round picks.

First, it's been a season-long struggle at left tackle for Ikem Ekwonu. Under a new coaching staff, will Ekwonu move inside to guard or stick at tackle? How will that decision impact the rest of the offensive line?

Then, CB Jaycee Horn missed his 12 games of the season on Sunday. Horn has now missed 29 out of a possible 50 games during his Panthers career. What is Horn's long-term future and how will the Panthers move forward at CB this offseason?
