[Panthers Insider via Insta] Benching is a move to “stop the bleeding” and “let Young heal” – not ending his career in Carolina – Charles Robinson

  3. I think we are going to bench him while we give him that surgery to make him grow a couple of inches. It’s going to be a long couple of years while we wait for him to heal but he will be the best QB of all time at 6’3. Trust the process.

  5. Honestly the best course of action is not to trade him, I’m tired of our players going to ball out with other teams.  Let him sit for a year, let time pass, let people move on, forget all about him, assume he’s a bust and all the while him learning and working behind the scenes and come next season, let him compete with dalton for the starting job 

  10. Solid move surround him with more pieces and see what he does next season. My only question is will he compete for the starting role next season. Hopefully they don’t draft another QB, that’s a waste IMO

  13. Tbh I like the optimism but I don’t think Bryce Young is built to be an NFL QB…. He’s too small…. Doesn’t have crazy speed or strength or an arm… he’s just not that guy. If he was then we would’ve seen anything other than what we’ve seen so far. I haven’t really seen any flashes of excellence.

  16. I agree I feel he still hasn’t developed although it may be difficult with this team… although I still blame the owner and maybe some of the upper management for the situation this team is in.

  17. Isn’t this fairly obvious at the end of the day if you take a breath and look at without the emotion? Pressure is high and the lens is hyper focused. We are also the Panthers. This probably follows this path: Dalton plays starter level QB for a while and we get to more accurately check out our playcalls and offense (and maybe defense once they start getting rests). Either this year or next Bryce earns or gets given another shot. We have better baseline to rate him after seeing the team with a known NFL talent and then we can accurately say yes we want to keep going or no it’s time for us to part. This isn’t some catastrophe as long as we don’t overreact to it. Our line looks much improved, I’m excited to see our TEs and WRs get thrown to, and I feel like Chuba is under appreciated. That’s all. Nothing to defend: Bryce was clean on Sunday and threw for 84 yards. That’s Jimmy Pickles numbers, my friends. It doesn’t matter how bad your team is, that’s barely acceptable at division 1 college, let alone in the NFL.

  18. letting him sit instead of throwing him into the fire his rookie year should have been the move for a long time.

    Let’s be honest, we rushed Young and thrusted him to be the star that we thought he was going to be, but in truth that didn’t happen and when he was struggling we still let him struggle on the field until it was too late.

    This should put a lot of pressure off of him and hopefully he can improve, whether he’s our QB1 next season or not, this is the right thing to do.

  19. Bench him this year, start turning the narrative to he’s improved over summer, draft Luther Burden, start Bryce next year.

    Lose more games, end up in position to draft a great QB class in 2026.

    Or maybe he does actually improve, never know I suppose.

  22. Get him the best sports psychologist in the country and help him fix his mental.

    I wonder how the beginning of this season plays out if he doesn’t throw a pick on the offenses very first play of the season and we don’t get the brakes blow off of us in NO. If the game was at home and we let Chuba take the first snap or two and put some easy throws under the belt to get him in rhythm then it maybe plays off differently.

    Idk

  23. Love Bryce as a person, but his play has been atrocious and is actually getting worse. It doesn’t matter how much we gave up to draft him, that is in the past. We can’t change that. We also can’t lose the locker room and whatever scrap of fan loyalty is left by continuing to put a player on the field that doesn’t belong there rt now
