Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales has benched second-year quarterback Bryce Young in favor of veteran Andy Dalton following an 0-2 start to the 2024 season. Despite Young's struggles, including three interceptions and no touchdown passes in the first two games, Canales maintains that the team is not considering trading the former first overall pick. Canales believes Young still has the potential to be a franchise quarterback and has received support from teammates and former players like Baker Mayfield and Michael Vick. The decision to bench Young has sparked discussion about his future, with some suggesting the move could ultimately benefit his development. The Panthers are now focused on their upcoming game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
