Panthers head coach Frank Reich has decided to hand over the play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Thomas Brown. This move comes after the Panthers expressed a desire to see quarterback Bryce Young move with more urgency and play faster. The team believes they had put too much on Young's plate, so they have dialed back his presnap duties and increased the usage of wristbands for long play calls. The goal for the Panthers is to have a clean operation with no turnovers or presnap penalties. This decision by Reich to hand over play-calling responsibilities has been met with mixed reactions among NFL insiders.
Panthers OC Thomas Brown taking over playcalling could mean more presnap motion usage taping into Rams-centric part of offense + continued wristband usage for faster, penalty-free presnap process like we saw Sunday.

Panthers went for fourth-and-2 at the 24, Young was looking for Hurst in the end zone but it was high.
Panthers are opening in no-huddle offense, which hsa definitely become Bryce Young's offense of choice. But on his 1st dropback, Young gets sacked from the blindside.
From my Panthers pregame chats, CAR wants to see Bryce Young move with more urgency & play faster. There’s a feeling they put too much on plate so dialed back presnap duties & more wristband usage for long play calls. Goal today: clean operation. No turnovers/presnap penalties. https://t.co/TE1XbVRC63
