The Panthers have finally made the decision to bench #1 draft pick Bryce Young.
Head coach Dave Canales announced the move after the team’s 0-2 start. Young, who has struggled with a 55.4% pass completion rate, no touchdowns, and three interceptions, has raised concerns about the team’s direction. Andy Dalton will start Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders as the Panthers look to rebound from their disappointing season start.
Canales, in his first season as head coach, made the decision after reviewing the team’s performance. Young’s early struggles have affected the Panthers’ overall offensive performance. Despite Young’s potential, the switch to Dalton signals the need for immediate improvement. Dalton, with his experience, is expected to bring stability to the offense as Carolina attempts to break their losing streak.
Coaches and analysts will closely watch how the quarterback change impacts the Panthers’ performance moving forward.
