The NFL world is abuzz with speculation over Bryce Young’s future after the Carolina Panthers suffered two crushing defeats in a row. The pressure is mounting, raising questions about whether the young quarterback should take a break and regroup.
In their recent game against the Los Angeles Chargers, Young struggled to find his rhythm, completing just 18 of 26 passes for a meager 84 yards. The offense looked disjointed, with fans booing and frustrations running high. Even veteran receiver Adam Thielen voiced his displeasure on the sidelines after Young was sacked.
It’s clear that something needs to change for the Panthers. The team’s lackluster performance has left fans disillusioned, with calls for Young to be benched in favor of Andy Dalton. Coach Dave Canales, however, remains steadfast in his support of Young, emphasizing the need for improvement and learning from mistakes.
The Panthers face a crucial decision in the coming weeks. While some may advocate tanking the season for a high draft pick, losing the support of fans is a risk owner David Tepper is unwilling to take. The team’s offensive struggles and Young’s uncertain future loom large, threatening to derail the season.
