Coach Frank Reich says QB Bryce Young’s ceiling will improve if Panthers find a way to protect him
Associated PressCHARLOTTE, N.C. — Bryce Young has been making steady progress for the Carolina Panthers, resulting in his first NFL victory this past Sunday. Coach Frank Reich believes Young’s production will improve dramatically moving forward if the Panthers can do a better job of protecting their franchise QB. Reich called Sunday’s performance unacceptable, adding “that was just too many sacks.” Reich said after the game he initially thought Young held on to the ball too long on a couple of plays against the Texans, but changed his mind after watching game film. “The one or two times I thought he could get it out, there was nowhere to get it out to.” The Panthers have to do a better job of helping Young. The good news for the Panthers is they’re getting healthier on the offensive line, with veteran guard Austin Corbett returning this past weekend after missing the first six games while recovering from a torn ACL.
