Carolina quarterback Bryce Young has completed just 31 of 56 passes for 244 yards with three interceptions as the Panthers have started 0-2
Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales right talks to quarterback Bryce Young during the second half against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 8, 2024, in New Orleans.The Carolina Panthers have benched 2023 No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young after the second-year quarterback’s rough start to the season.Panthers head coach Dave Canales said he made the decision after watching game film from Sunday’s 26-3 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
Canales wouldn’t say if Dalton will remain the starter beyond this week saying “right now the focus is on this week.”“I don’t want to get into the specifics as those are private conversations,” Canales said. Young is 2-16 as a starter overall since the Panthers traded up eight spots in the 2023 NFL draft to get him.
He hasn’t looked much like a No. 1 overall pick since his arrival, continually looking flustered in the pocket and often making poor decisions and throwing into double coverage. His first throw this season was an interception against the Saints in the opener and things only seem to have gotten worse.
Dalton said Monday he was surprised by the move, but is excited about the opportunity to start again in the NFL.
