Bryce Young, the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, has struggled in his rookie season, throwing for 2,977 yards with 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, leading the Panthers to a disappointing 2-14 record. His performance has not improved significantly in 2024, with 820 yards, four touchdowns, and six interceptions in seven games. Despite leading the team to two recent victories, he lost the starting role after an 0-2 start and has been inconsistent since returning. The Panthers' coaching staff, particularly Dave Canales, may be considering other quarterback options, indicating uncertainty about Young's future as the franchise's long-term starter.
