Bryce Young's progression as the Carolina Panthers' starting quarterback has taken a significant turn after a rocky start to the 2024 NFL season. By the end of the campaign, he showcased his potential, especially in the latter half where he avoided interceptions in his last three games. However, the uncertainty surrounding his long-term standing with the franchise lingers, partly due to coaching changes and a shaky beginning.
Despite finishing strong, analysts suggest that Young may find himself in a precarious position going into the 2025 season. Coach Dave Canales' reluctance to fully commit to Young as the starter raises questions about his future, especially since he was previously benched during early struggles. This skepticism could lead to a quick hook if Young's performance dips.
