What’s Holding Bryce Young Back? Panther’s QB Struggles to…

Folks, it’s not that simple. One game doesn’t change a career path. Yes, Bryce Young impressed Baker Mayfield, but he still didn’t show enough grit to get on a fumble. And Young’s outing for the Carolina Panthers versus the Buccaneers didn’t prove he’s the team’s quarterback of the future.

First, let’s start with the best stuff. Young threw for 298 yards and led his team to a 60-yard drive that seemed to give the Panthers a 23-20 win with only 30 seconds left on the clock. However, the Buccaneers got into field goal position and eventually won the game in overtime.

Yes, Young came through in the clutch at the end of regulation and connected on a big pass to Adam Thielen in overtime. But let’s look at some other things that happened.

First, Young completed only 26 of 46 passes. That’s a lot of inaccurate throws. And Young stands below 60% for his career. To be able to thrive at the quarterback position in the NFL, that number has to rise.

Plus, no matter how well Young played against the Buccaneers, he still has only six touchdown passes in seven games. Plus, he has six interceptions. The numbers simply aren’t there.

And Young himself looked at the bottom line, which came in the form of another loss, according to panthers.com.

“I mean, I’m not big on comparing, not big on looking back,” Youn said. “But I’m a competitor. We all are. It’s not a fun place to be.You know, it definitely, definitely hurts. Right now we’re, we’re all in the moment. Tomorrow, we just have to look at it, just as we would regardless of the result, figure out what we can build and continue to do, and then figure out what we can learn from and correct. Obviously, right now, it sucks.”
