Panthers’ Quarterback Conundrum: Young’s Future in Question
The Carolina Panthers are struggling to find their footing this season, and the quarterback position is under scrutiny. Despite being the No. 1 pick in the 2023 draft, Bryce Young has been relegated to the sidelines in favor of veteran Andy Dalton. The decision has raised questions about Young’s future with the team.
Canales Commits to Dalton
Head coach Dave Canales has made it clear that he is committed to Dalton as the starter, at least for now. Dalton has been underwhelming in his four starts, throwing two interceptions in the latest loss to the Washington Commanders. Despite this, Canales has chosen to stick with the 36-year-old quarterback, leaving Young to wonder when he will get his chance.
Young’s Patience Wearing Thin
Young has been a model of patience and professionalism, always taking the high road when asked about his situation. However, it’s clear that he is eager to get back on the field and prove himself. When asked if he wants to remain with the Panthers, Young replied, “Yeah, yeah. I’m grateful to be here at Carolina and be a Panther.” But for how long?
Johnson’s Frustration Boils Over
Wide receiver Diontae Johnson has been one of the few bright spots for the Panthers this season, but even he is starting to show signs of frustration. Johnson has been mentioned as a potential trade candidate, and he knows that his future with the team is uncertain. When asked about the possibility of being traded, Johnson replied, “Whatever happens, happens, with that situation. It’s a business.”
Panthers’ Problems Run Deep
The Panthers’ struggles go far beyond the quarterback position. The team has surrendered an average of 34.7 points per game, making them one of the worst defenses in the league. With a point differential of minus-133, the Panthers are in desperate need of a turnaround.
What’s Next for Young?
As the season wears on, the question on everyone’s mind is: what’s next for Bryce Young? Will he get another chance to start, or will he be relegated to the sidelines for good? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: Young’s future with the Panthers is far from secure.
