The Carolina Panthers are benching quarterback Bryce Young, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 draft, in favor of veteran Andy Dalton for their upcoming game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Young has struggled significantly, posting only 84 yards with three interceptions and no touchdowns across two games this season, leading to an 0-2 start for the team. He has a record of 2-16 as a starter, with his recent performance tying for the fourth fewest passing yards in team history for a quarterback with at least 25 attempts. Coach Dave Canales initially stated that Young would remain the starter, but the team's poor performance prompted a change. Dalton, who previously played well in a start last season, will take over the starting role as the Panthers aim to turn their season around.
