Bryce Young is beginning to show some development as Panthers QB after a rough start to season

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers hired Dave Canales as head coach to help develop Bryce Young into a franchise quarterback and turn around a team that hadn’t been to the postseason since 2017. Canales said Young “made a statement” after leading the Panthers to a 20-17 overtime win over the Giants in Germany on Sunday. A couple of times that would have really turned it into really an exceptional day, but he handled the rush, he handled the different coverage looks and all that.” Still, he hasn’t publicly committed to Young as the starter for Carolina’s next game against the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 24. Canales said Young needs more experience — which makes his refusal to name him the team’s regular starting QB all the more perplexing.
