Bryce Young showed promising signs for the Carolina Panthers during his only drive in the preseason game against the Buffalo Bills, completing 6 of 8 passes for 70 yards and throwing a touchdown. Coach Dave Canales highlighted Young's improvements, particularly in footwork and decision-making, as crucial for his development after a challenging rookie season. Despite the optimism surrounding Young's performance, the Panthers are still facing skepticism about their chances in the upcoming 2024 season, given their recent history of poor finishes. Changes in the coaching staff and roster aim to rejuvenate the team's fortunes, but oddsmakers remain doubtful about an immediate turnaround. Young’s ability to thrive this season will be pivotal for both his career and the Panthers’ aspirations to return to competitiveness. The regular season begins on September 8 against the New Orleans Saints, where Young's progress will be further tested.
