The 2024 Carolina Panthers are experiencing a pivotal moment with Bryce Young emerging as a potential franchise quarterback after being the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. A recent injury to veteran Andy Dalton has opened the door for Young, who has shown significant improvement.

Despite his progress, head coach Dave Canales remains non-committal about naming Young the permanent starter, indicating a cautious approach to his development. The team's future may hinge on Young's ability to consistently perform and win over his coach.
