In a shocking move, the Carolina Panthers have benched second-year quarterback Bryce Young in favor of veteran Andy Dalton following a dismal start to the 2024 NFL season. Head coach Dave Canales, who was hired to turn Young's career around, cited the need to give the team the best chance to win as the reason for this decision. Young's performance has been poor, with just 245 passing yards, no touchdowns, and three interceptions across two games, leading to an average of only 6.5 points per game. This decision comes just a day after Panthers owner David Tepper expressed confidence in Young's role as the starting quarterback. Canales, however, took full responsibility for the change, emphasizing that it was made after reviewing game footage and consulting with his coaching staff. Dalton's previous experience could provide the stability the Panthers desperately need as they seek to improve their offensive output.
