Recently, it was announced that the Carolina Panthers would be benching former first-overall pick Bryce Young in favor of Andy Dalton. This comes after Young and the Panthers started the season 0-2, with both losses being by a wide margin.
Of course, it’s not the start to his career that Young or fans had envisioned, and it’s a bit of a disappointment. That disappointment can be seen in Young in a video of him walking to practice.
However, many feel bad for Young and don’t think the poor start to the season is necessarily all his fault.
“Damn. He just looks defeated. Can’t help but feel sorry for him and hope he gets better,” said one comment.
“I hope he goes somewhere else and finds success. I’m saying this as a Panther fan. Get out of Tepperville and shine somewhere else,” said another.

“Head up bro you’re the future. The path is always tricky but ultimately you are the answer. Learn from the vet and you’ll return to command the team in no time,” continued a third.
So far in 2024, Young has completed 31 of 59 passes for 245 yards, three interceptions, and zero touchdowns, earning a 9.1 passer rating.
Maybe some time on the bench will help put things into perspective for him, and he can come back playing better.
The Panthers Gave Up A Haul For Bryce Young
When the Panthers traded for the No. 1 pick to get Young in 2023, many criticized how much they gave up, and things haven’t started to look better.
In return for Young, the Bears received D.J. Moore and future picks they used on offensive tackle Darnell Wright, cornerback Tyrique Stevenson, and Caleb Williams while still having a 2025 second-round pick.
If Young doesn’t improve quickly, this could become one of the worst trades of all time.
