In Sunday’s dramatic 36-30 overtime victory against the Arizona Cardinals, Young demonstrated his athleticism with a career-high 68 rushing yards and his toughness, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-will-bryce-young-start-vs-cardinals-after-career-high-turnover-setback">bouncing back from a brutal hit</a> to deliver a game-winning performance.</p><p>Young’s ability to lead the Panthers to their third game-winning drive of the season has helped the team <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/watch/nfl/bryce-young-carolina-panthers-are-establishing-an-identity" rel="noopener">establish a stronger identity</a> heading into the season’s final stretch.</p><p>“This is just big for us,” Young said after the game. “We talked about this last part of the season being a great opportunity just for us to finish, to set the tone for the future. Kind of just lay the foundation of where we want to go.”</p><p>Young completed <a href="https://www.panthers.com/news/for-bryce-young-taking-a-shot-and-popping-up-is-part-of-the-job" rel="noopener">17 of 26 passes</a> for 158 yards and two touchdowns, posting a 107.5 passer rating — his highest of the season. More importantly, he showcased his versatility, running for critical first downs and even rushing for a touchdown. Panthers head coach Dave Canales praised Young’s decision-making and poise.</p><h2><b>Bryce Young and the Panthers are finding their voice as the season nears a close</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Bryce-Young_787ad4.jpg"><figcaption>Bob Donnan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>“He just played fast again,” Canales said. “He was really decisive. You saw some of the scrambles early in the first half, where he was able to pick up some critical third downs for us. And again, just making some really nice throws when we needed him to.”</p><p>Young also turned heads with his ability to take a hit and keep going. Late in the game, he absorbed a tough blow to the chest while delivering a key pass to Tommy Tremble. Moments later, he found David Moore for a clutch fourth-quarter touchdown. Right guard Robert Hunt described how Young’s resilience inspires the team:</p><p>“That kid’s as tough as nails, and I give him a lot of credit,” Hunt said. “I saw that hit, so I ran to him, and I was kinda like, ‘Yo, s—, are you all right?’ And he hopped up; he was smiling, so he’s ready to play, man.” Despite a challenging season, including being benched earlier in the year, Young has steadily improved. His ability to respond after a rough game against the Cowboys last week demonstrates his growth as a quarterback and leader.</p><p>“There’s no quit in this team at all, so I’m super grateful to be a part of it,” Young said. “Just our drive to finish, and that’s something that coach instills in us on a daily basis. I think it’s showing.” Young’s performance on Sunday reinforced his role as the Panthers’ future leader. As he continues to build his identity through grit, accuracy, and leadership, the Panthers are laying a foundation for long-term success.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Panthers have played much better lately, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-bryce-young-cam-newton-territory-83-yard-td-strike">as quarterback Bryce Young’s improvement</a> has been a key positive for the team to see as this season has progressed. Today, however, was a speed bump for Young and the Panthers. The 2023 NFL Draft’s No.1 overall pick had a career high four turnovers in an upset 30-14 loss to the Cowboys. Despite the tough outing, Carolina head coach Dave Canales confirmed that Young would <a href="https://x.com/DNewtonespn/status/1868408700857381193" rel="noopener">remain the starting quarterback</a> next week against the Arizona Cardinals.</p><p>“Bryce Young will remain the Panthers starting QB despite a career-high four turnovers,” reported ESPN’s David Newton on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>That is certainly the best decision for the team, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-vic-fangio-breaks-down-bryce-young-massive-turnaround">as Young has still shown</a> a ton of progress since taking the starting job back following a benching earlier this season. Even though the Panthers lost their fourth game in a row, the team is still playing hard, and the talent is more evident than ever. With Arizona coming to town next week, can Young lead the Panthers to a win over fellow number one overall pick Kyler Murray and the strong Cardinals defense? It will be intriguing to see how his progression continues after Sunday’s setback.</p><h2><b>Will Bryce Young, Panthers rebound versus Cardinals next week?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Panthers-QB-Bryce-Young.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Panthers will face the Cardinals, the third-place team in the NFC West, next Sunday at home. Despite Sunday’s loss to Dallas, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-carolina-favored-win-first-time-34-games">will Carolina be favored</a> in the matchup? It’s possible, as the Cards are currently on a three-game skid and are playing the New England Patriots at home right now.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-andy-dalton-helped-bryce-young-resurrect-career">Young lost two fumbles and</a> threw two interceptions in the 16-point loss, which led to the Panthers being officially eliminated from playoff contention. Canales’ first season at the helm will end a bit earlier than he and his team would like. However, if they play as well as they have since Young took the reins back from backup Andy Dalton, then it is certainly possible for them to close with a couple of wins.</p><p>Canales and his team close the seasons with road trips to division rivals. Week 17 will see them <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/buccaneers-news-todd-bowles-reveals-challenge-facing-ex-oc-dave-canales">visit Canales’ old team,</a> the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That will be an interesting matchup, as the Panthers nearly beat the Bucs in Week 13 at home. Can they get finally beat their longtime rivals on the road? The season finale will be on the road against the Atlanta Falcons. Can the Panthers play spoilers to both the Falcons and Buccaneers’ playoff hopes? Panthers fans, and the team itself, certainly hopes so. If Young continues his growth, then anything is possible.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

First it was Jalen Hurts (Kind 0f), then it was Tua Tagovailoa, Mac Jones, and Bryce Young. The question is, who will continue that lineage? Well, it looks like it might be Jalen Milroe.</p><p>With Alabama being left out of the College Football Playoff, there’s a good chance Milroe might opt out in order to prepare for the NFL Draft. If that does, it officially begins what could be a wild draft process. As likely the most athletic quarterback in the draft and one of the most athletic in recent memory, he could light up the NFL Combine.</p><p>Additionally, Milroe’s rushing upside will factor in where he goes on draft weekend. On just the ground, he scored over 20 touchdowns. In total, he was responsible for 35 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.</p><p>It’s not completely known where he’ll go, since he does still have some growing to do, but Milroe could no doubt go in the first round.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

I think they’ve done a good job of coaching him,” Fangio told reporters. “They have a really good running back in [Panthers RB Chuba] Hubbard. They feature him. They’re running play-action and boots off of that run game. I think they’ve done a good job in their entire offense of finding out who they are within his quarterback abilities.</p><p>Throwing for over 250 yards in each of the last two games, albeit both in losing efforts, Young has proven himself a legit NFL quarterback after being benched earlier in the season for Andy Dalton. While the Eagles have seen better offenses and QBs in 2024, Young can sneak up on teams if they aren’t paying attention, as Nick Sirianni also pointed out ahead of Week 14.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Bryce-Young-throwing-for-the-Panthers.jpg"><figcaption>Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>Nick Sirianni is impressed by Bryce Young and the Panthers too</b></h2><p>Taking some time out of his Wednesday media session to talk about the Panthers’ offense, Sirianni, too, had nice things to say about Young, Dave Canales, and Carolina as a whole, as<a href="https://eagles.1rmg.com/transcripts/nick-sirianni-12-4-24/" rel="noopener"> they’ve slowly but surely begun to figure it out</a>.</p><p>“I think there are new guys in there with [Panther Head] Coach [Dave] Canales being new in there, and then everybody just kind of finding the way of what they’re doing. We didn’t start off very well in 2021, and we got it going as the season continued to go on,” Sirianni told reporters.</p><p>“So there is probably a little bit of that. I think the quarterback is doing a nice job. He’s a good player. He was drafted where he was drafted for a reason. I think they have talented players and talented coaches. I’ve always been a fan of their defensive coordinator. I think he’s really good. So I think it’s just, again, talented players, talented coaches, and they’re meshing together with their culture right now. And it’s showing.”</p><p>Once considered the worst team in the NFL by a pretty large margin, the Panthers finally seem to have settled on an identity, forging an offense that works for both Canales and Young. While they clearly won’t make it to the playoffs this season, as they’ve already officially been eliminated, they could play spoiler to a few teams down the stretch and, thus, put some quality play on film ahead of the 2025 NFL season, with an influx of quality players will join the roster via free agency and the draft.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Young was benched earlier in the season for Andy Dalton, and that was time for him to reflect and learn from his mistakes. That’s exactly what he did, and Dalton <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/story/_/id/42754616/nfl-week-14-buzz-news-updates-fantasy-tips-predictions-questions" rel="noopener">helped him</a> get to where he is now, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.</p><p>“Bryce Young’s resurgence gives the Panthers an intriguing quarterback option for the future under coach Dave Canales. We know he’s throwing the ball with more confidence and operating the offense well. After asking around, he’s also learning how to become more vocal and showing more command and urgency. The Panthers always knew Young could read defenses pre-snap well, and now he’s doing a better job of projecting that out to teammates and coaches, “getting it out of his brain and to others” in a clear and concise manner, according to one person with the team.</p><p>“That’s a big step, and one that Andy Dalton undoubtedly helped him find. Learning from Dalton, who started in place of Young for five games during Young’s benching, was crucial for the second-year quarterback’s development, sources said. The Panthers wanted Young to observe and learn from Dalton, which he did.”</p><h2>Bryce Young emerging for Panthers</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Bryce-Young.jpg"><figcaption>Bob Donnan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Bryce Young has had some impressive games for the Panthers, and it looks like he’s found some confidence that he hadn’t once had before. Though the Panthers have lost their last two games, they’ve been close losses to good teams such as the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.</p><p>Young looks more comfortable in the pocket, and he’s become more accurate in throwing the ball to his receivers. Head coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-bryce-young-honest-take-dave-canales-amid-resurgence">Dave Canales has always helped him</a> through his process, and he gave him credit for his strong play.</p><p>“He’s always doing a good job of just giving his insights,” Young said via Mark Inabinett for AL.com. “Obviously, he’s been around a lot of football. He always has really good additions to the room, so this week hasn’t been any different. But I trust him in the things that he sees. He does everything and does a great job of just preparing us in the room. And we’re all going to lean on that.”</p><p>If Young can continue this strong play to the end of the season, the Panthers’ future going into the next year should be very encouraging as they try to find ways to improve their team.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

One game doesn’t change a career path. Yes, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/buccaneers-news-baker-mayfield-bryce-young-played-his-balls-off">Bryce Young impressed Baker Mayfield</a>, but he still <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-bryce-young-blunt-explanation-not-jumping-chuba-hubbard-fumble">didn’t show enough grit to get on a fumble</a>. And Young’s outing for the Carolina Panthers versus the Buccaneers didn’t prove he’s the team’s quarterback of the future.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><h2><b>Panthers QB Bryce Young still has miles to go</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Carolina-Panthers-QB-Bryce-Young.jpg"><figcaption>Bob Donnan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>And Young himself looked at the bottom line, which came in the <a href="https://www.panthers.com/news/ot-loss-to-bucs-definitely-definitely-hurts" rel="noopener">form of another loss</a>, according to panthers.com.</p><p>“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.”</p><p>Part of the problem is the little things for the entire team, head coach Dave Canales said.</p><p>“The story of the day, just we’ve got to control the things that we can control, we’ve got to make our kicks, we’ve got to take care of the ball at the end right there. We’re in a field goal position right there to be able to win the game in overtime and just the execution, all across the board.</p><p>“There’s some good football in there, and there’s some bad football, and we’ve got to continue to attack it, But it’s just the things that we gave away.”</p><h2><b>Bryce Young is better off than a month ago</b></h2><p>For Young to make strides in becoming the Panthers’ future quarterback, the team will have to start winning games. And receiver Adam Thielen said there’s only one way to get there.</p><p>“You keep playing,” he replied. “You keep getting experience as a team together, same staff, a lot of the same players and you just keep figuring out how you can get better, right? Can we do better in the red zone? Can we do better getting stops? It’s just complimentary football, right?</p><p>“I feel like we’ve done a really good job the last few weeks of playing complementary football, which we haven’t done the majority of the season. So that’s a good step in the right direction. But again, you just got to do that in crunch time as well.”</p><p>Canales said he <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/bryce-young-and-dave-canales-are-learning-a-lesson-that-transformed-the-packers-last-year-are-the-panthers-next-000923181.html#:~:text=%E2%80%9CI'm%20just%20proud%20of,statement%20to%20all%20of%20us.%E2%80%9D" rel="noopener">likes the progress</a> Young has made, according to yahoo.com.</p><p>“I’m just proud of Bryce for the way he’s handled everything,” Canales said. “Each week, there’s been improvement in the things he’s doing. He’s making a statement to all of us.”</p><p>Also, Young is learning how to take chances at the right time, getting the ball down the field.</p><p>“I think all of us receivers would say we want him to do more of that,” Thielen said. “He doesn’t have to be perfect. He can just go out there, play free, have fun.”</p><p>Canales said Young’s <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/news/what-dave-canales-liked-bryce-young-impressive-game-bucs" rel="noopener">operation looked solid</a>, according to Sports Illustrated.</p><p>“Just the operation, being decisiveness with the ball,” Canales said. “Knowing they were giving us a bunch of looks and handling the challenge of it. Studying the film throughout the week to find the voids in the different pressures and things that they brought. The decisiveness in play is what’s critical at the position, and he did a great job of that today.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In that game, former Panthers quarterback Cam Newton watched a fumble occur and didn’t jump on the ball. While that game was the biggest of the season and the franchise, Young’s actions didn’t have major ramifications.</p><p>Hubbard was as disgruntled and disappointed as anyone. While sitting at his locker for almost ten minutes, Hubbard finally spoke to reporters. He reflected on his mistake and said how it’s not what his team is trying to accomplish. “I hold myself to a high standard and we are trying to change things around here and that’s not helping with anything,” Hubbard said. “So I’ve got to be better and all I can do is just work. It happened and I have to grow from it.</p><h2><b>Bryce Young’s performance highlights silver lining in Panthers’ loss</b></h2><p>Although <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/buccaneers-news-baker-mayfield-bryce-young-played-his-balls-off">Baker Mayfield said that Young ‘played his balls off’</a>, it didn’t matter. He threw 26-of-46 for 298 yards and a touchdown in the final 25 seconds to wide receiver Adam Thielen. The Buccaneers managed to tie the game and take it into overtime, where the Hubbard fumble occurred. Regardless, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-why-dave-canales-was-proud-of-bryce-young-despite-chiefs-loss">Young has performed quite well</a> since starting in place of Andy Dalton.</p><p>However, that didn’t matter to head coach Dave Canales following the 23-20 loss. He explained that the minute details are important to hone in on. “We have to put together a full complement of quarters, a full four quarters to become the team that we want to become,” Canales said.</p><p>Their past four games have been one-score games, in which they secured two wins. They took the Kansas City Chiefs down to the wire and the same thing with the Buccaneers. Although the latter two games weren’t the outcome the Panthers desired, it’s a positive step.</p><p>As Canales said, it’s about getting the little details right. Teams like the Chiefs succeed because they’ve mastered the little details. Although their <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/car/2024.htm" rel="noopener">schedule doesn’t get any easier</a>, their motivation to keep winning is at an all-time high. Carolina will look to erase its mistakes against the red-hot Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After all, Mayfield was the 1st overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, but fell out of favor with the franchise that selected him, the Cleveland Browns, and didn’t last beyond his rookie contract. It looked like Young was heading quickly down that same path, but the last month has proven that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-panthers-2025-nfl-draft-qb-plan-into-focus-amid-bryce-young-resurgence">the 2023 1st overall pick still may have some untapped potential. </a></p><p>On Sunday afternoon, this pair of former #1 picks — and Heisman Trophy winners — went head to head in a surprisingly entertaining overtime thriller, with the Buccaneers eventually prevailing 26-23 to keep pace with the Atlanta Falcons atop the NFC South division. But after the game, Mayfield’s most telling sound-byte wasn’t related to his own team. It was <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5962069/2024/12/01/panthers-loss-adam-thielen-catch-overtime-bucs/?source=emp_shared_article" rel="noopener">about the 23-year-old quarterback</a> on the opposite sideline who played his best game of the season against the superior Bucs.</p><p>“I thought Bryce played his balls off,” Mayfield said after the game, per Joseph Person of The Athletic. “Speaking from experience of the ups and downs of the league, see it through, come out on the other side and it makes you stronger in the end. So I’m proud of him. And obviously, knowing who he’s working with now is a big part of that with the positivity and confidence aspect of it. So he’ll be all right.”</p><p>Who Young is working with is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-close-hiring-buccaneers-oc-dave-canales-next-head-coach">Panthers head coach Dave Canales, who spent last season as Tampa Bay’s offensive coordinator</a> working with Baker Mayfield. Mayfield, in his first season with the Bucs last year, had the best campaign of his young career under Canales, but is on pace to one-up that performance this year.</p><h2><b>Banged-up Baker Mayfield brushes off injury, leads Buccaneers comeback</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Baker-Mayfield-injured-on-the-field.jpg?w=1024"><figcaption>© Bob Donnan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>After going down with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/buccaneers-news-baker-mayfield-thought-he-popped-achilles-panthers">what he thought in the moment was an achilles tear</a>, it looked like Baker Mayfield — and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ — 2024 season was going down in flames in Carolina on Sunday afternoon. But Mayfield was able to return to the field and lead the Bucs to a 13-point 4th quarter comeback to send the game to overtime, where eventually, Mayfield led Tampa Bay on a five-play, 59-yard drive that ended with a game-winning field goal.</p><p>Following a disappointing four-game losing streak that extended from Week 7 to Week 10, the Buccaneers bounced back during a Week 11 bye and have won two games. Now, Tampa Bay is 6-6 and tied with the Atlanta Falcons atop the NFC South. Atlanta does have two wins over Tampa Bay already this season, so the Bucs will need to finish a full game ahead of the Falcons in the standings in order to clinch a fourth straight division title.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Young had a disastrous rookie season, was benched early in is second year, and then returned to the lineup halfway through the season and has had something resembling a career rebirth.</p><p>Over the last four weeks, since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-bryce-young-getting-start-amid-andy-dalton-rehab">Young retained the QB1 job from veteran Andy Dalton</a>, the 23-year-old signal-caller has strung together four of the best games of his young career.

He is diagnosing defenses better. And simply, he is playing better as far as the future goes. From what I understand, do not expect the Carolina Panthers to draft a quarterback early next year. It does seem if Bryce Young [continues] to progress as he’s been, that he has earned the opportunity to be their starter next year.”</p><h2><b>Panthers, Bryce Young to continue partnership into 2025 season </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Panthers-coach-Dave-Canales-hugs-Bryce-Young.jpg?w=1024"><figcaption>© Scott Kinser-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>In addition to Young’s improvement, there are other factors that contribute to this decision as well, like a relatively volatile group of quarterbacks who are expected to be among the best in the class of 2025, and the fact that the Panthers may end up picking outside of the top five. There is a logjam of 12 teams between 2 and 4 wins right now, and the Panthers are right in the middle of the pack and playing relatively well. They might not even be in a position to select one of the top quarterbacks on their board.</p><p>But for now, that might not be the worst case scenario. The Panthers have plenty of needs all over the roster, and head coach Dave Canales has a <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/dave-canales-im-proud-of-the-way-bryce-young-has-handled-all-this" rel="noopener">renewed faith in his second-year QB</a>.</p><p>“I’m just proud of Bryce, the way he’s handled all this and the way that he’s progressed on a weekly basis,” Canales said earlier in the week, per Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk. “Each week there’s been improvement in the things that he’s doing. As the quarterback, to have a moment in the locker room where you can share your heart, you can share where you’re at with all of it.

His advanced knowledge of basketball, football, and Formula One started at an early age, allowing him to provide in-depth analysis.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Carolina Panthers</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Since returning to the starting lineup, Bryce Young has performed better than he did early on in the season. In fact, his progress is already being noticed. Ahead of the Carolina Panthers’ Week 13 clash, Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles had <a href="https://www.buccaneers.com/news/tampa-bay-buccaneers-quote-sheet-11-29-24" rel="noopener">some good things to say</a> about the quarterback.</p><p>“He’s (Young is) just getting comfortable with the offense, making great decisions,” Bowles said, per the Buccaneers’ official website. “If it’s not there, he can thread the needle and he can use his feet to buy time, or he can run with the football — he has a lot of options and he’s using them.”</p><h2><b>Bryce Young’s development</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Bryce-Young-looks-to-pass.jpg"><figcaption>© Bob Donnan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Young’s first two games of the season were far from memorable. Both were blowout losses and through that two-week span, he totaled three interceptions in addition to having no passing touchdowns. While he did have a 3-yard run to the endzone in the Panthers’ season opener, his struggles outweighed any silver linings that Carolina had. This led to him being benched from Weeks 3 to 7. An injury to Andy Dalton caused Dave Canales to fully utilize the former Heisman winner once more, and so far, things have been smoother from an individual performance standpoint.</p><p>Through the Panthers’ last four games, Young has thrown more TDs (5) than interceptions (3). He’s also completed 61.8% of his passes, in addition to tallying an 83.5% passer rating. These aren’t head-turning numbers, of course, but making forward strides is what matters at the moment. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-why-dave-canales-was-proud-of-bryce-young-despite-chiefs-loss">Against the Kansas City Chiefs</a> last Sunday, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-bryce-young-earns-hall-of-famer-respect-vs-patrick-mahomes">Young had a strong outing</a>, going 21-of-35 for 263 passing yards and a touchdown. He also finished with a 92.9 passer rating. What made this even more impressive was how the Chiefs are the fourth-best defensive team in the league, allowing opponents just 300.8 total yards per game.</p><h2><b>A desperate foe awaits the Panthers</b></h2><p>Panthers fans are no doubt hoping that Young can keep the momentum going this weekend. On Sunday, Todd Bowles, Baker Mayfield, and the rest of the Buccaneers will be visiting the Bank of America Stadium. While Tampa Bay is a below .500 team (5-6 record), they’re second in the NFC South, trailing the division-leading Atlanta Falcons (6-5). With the season nearing its tail-end, the Buccaneers are expected to go all out in their remaining games for that top spot.</p><p>A desperate opponent is almost always a challenge for any QB, but that’s good for Bryce Young’s growth in the long run.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Despite the loss, the top pick of the 2023 Draft finished 21-35 with 263 yards and a touchdown, which may have cemented his position as starter for the rest of the season. Moreover, his resurgence came as a pleasant surprise, especially after Panthers coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-bench-bryce-young-andy-dalton-woeful-start">Dave Canales benched Bryce Young</a> after two poor games to start the season. However, veteran <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-bryce-young-qb1-again-after-andy-dalton-injury">Andy Dalton suffering a sprained thumb</a> gave the young QB the chance to retake his spot.</p><p>On the other hand, “Bama Bryce” also gave his take on his coach, in his first year as head coach after working as offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.</p><p>“He’s always <a href="https://www.al.com/sports/2024/11/carolina-quarterback-hopes-hes-better-than-bama-bryce-for-the-panthers.html" rel="noopener">doing a good job</a> of just giving his insights,” the QB said, via Mark Inabinett for AL.com. “Obviously he’s been around a lot of football. He always has really good additions to the room, so this week hasn’t been any different. But I trust him in the things that he sees. He does everything and does a great job of just preparing us in the room. And we’re all going to lean on that.”</p><h2><b>The Panthers hope this resurgence continues</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Bryce-Young-hugging-Dave-Canales.jpg"><figcaption>© Scott Kinser-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Dave Canales benching Bryce Young after two games surprised the former Heisman Trophy <a href="https://www.espn.ph/college-football/story/_/id/32847065/quarterback-bryce-young-awarded-heisman-trophy-giving-alabama-football-back-back-winners" rel="noopener">winner</a> for Alabama in 2021, and who also entered the NFL as the top pick in the draft.</p><p>After starting 18 games, dating back to last season, then getting benched, Young became a starter again after Canales began a weekly assessment of potential starting QBs once Dalton went down. This assessment resulted in three starts for Young.</p><p>Moreover, his strong performance for the Panthers against the two-time Super Bowl champion Chiefs convinced Dave Canales to start him against the Buccaneers in Week 13.</p><p>“Just wanted to do what’s best for the team,” the young quarterback said. “As a leader, as a quarterback, that’s always what I’m trying to do, so just in the moment, I thought that was best for the team.”</p><p>Prior to the Chiefs game, Young had also led the Panthers to two straight wins over the Saints and the Giants. However, Young had only gained the confidence to address his teammates after the game.</p><p>“Keep building,” Young told his teammates, per the report. “We just have to be consistent. We want to make sure that we’re looking forward, building on stuff, just embracing the things where we can go, where we want to go, stuff that’s really real, and just instilling belief…. I think it’s just the importance of us embracing that and trying to continue to build.”</p><p>Despite a 3-8 record, Panthers fans should see <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-bryce-young-earns-hall-of-famer-respect-vs-patrick-mahomes">Bryce Young’s resurgence</a> as a cause for optimism. The team has already put a solid set of skilled talent around him, and if their quarterback takes a leap, the Panthers might be a team to look forward to.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As there will continue to be<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/why-panthers-hard-fought-loss-to-chiefs-doesnt-prove-bryce-young-is-their-qb-of-the-future"> questions if Young is the future of the Panthers</a>, head coach Dave Canales spoke about how he was impressed by his quarterback Monday during a press conference.</p><h2><b>Panthers’ Dave Canales explains why he is “proud” of Bryce Young</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Bryce-Young-on-Nov.-24-2024.jpg"><figcaption>Bob Donnan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>In the loss to Kansas City, Young completed 21 of 35 pass attempts and threw for 263 yards to go along with one touchdown pass, leading the team to six scoring drives. Canales would say Monday that he is <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/dave-canales-im-proud-of-the-way-bryce-young-has-handled-all-this" rel="noopener">“proud”</a> of Young and the development he has done each week of the current season, according to NBC Sports.</p><p>“I’m just proud of Bryce, the way he’s handled all this and the way that he’s progressed on a weekly basis,” Canales said. “Each week there’s been improvement in the things that he’s doing. As the quarterback, to have a moment in the locker room where you can share your heart, you can share where you’re at with all of it. I think it’s important that the guys continue to connect that way, and the guys responded positively.”</p><p>“I think that in general the message is, ‘This is the brand of football that we can play.’ On top of that, it’s like, ‘OK, now let’s get back to work and see what did we miss out there? I felt like there was a lot of meat left on the bone.’ So, while it shows when you play a version of football where you can be competitive, especially against one of the league’s best teams right now, it’s still got to be about the finish. So, it was a good moment for the guys to connect. All the guys to a man had that mixed feeling of being sick that this was an opportunity missed and also to know like we are continuing to improve on a weekly basis, which has been our goal.”</p><h2><b>Panthers’ Bryce Young “took advantage” of the opportunity given</b></h2><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-bryce-young-start-buccaneers">Young has earned the start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a> next week in the hopes of building off a performance that showed the 23-year-old comfortable in the pocket against a tough Chiefs defense. There is no doubt that it’s been a rollercoaster of a season for Young as he’s been through being benched for Andy Dalton earlier.</p><p>Canales would go on to say that Young “took advantage” of the opportunity given, which is a positive sign for the former Heisman Trophy winner.</p><p>“Bryce just took advantage of another opportunity,” Canales said. “A great week of preparation by the whole group. It was great to have [Adam] Thielen back out there. It was great to have David Moore step in with Jalen [Coker] down. So, I saw some good trust factors and some growth in terms of just the chemistry in the pass game that came alive for us in some critical areas.”</p><p>At any rate, the Panthers are still 3-8 on the season but look to finish out the season with some positive momentum, which starts next Sunday against Tampa Bay.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Second-year quarterback Bryce Young, who arguably played his best career game on Sunday, went 2-for-4 on the drive, which ended with a Chuba Hubbard one-yard touchdown run. However, a failed two-point conversion kept Carolina from tying the game. The Chiefs held off the Panthers with a field goal on the ensuing drive, extending their lead to three points.</p><p>It was a valiant effort by the Panthers, who went toe-to-toe with the reigning Super Bowl champions. As the game concluded, praise poured in for the team, especially Young, who had faced heavy criticism earlier this season and was even benched after the first two games.</p><p>After the game, Panthers head coach Dave Canales spoke highly of Young’s <a href="https://www.panthers.com/news/a-different-bryce-young-emerged-in-loss-to-chiefs-and-afterward" rel="noopener">growth since reclaiming the starting job</a> a few weeks ago.</p><p>“Yeah, I mean, I don’t have to make any statements; he’s making it for himself,” Canales said via the team’s website. “He’s continued to show us the progress we’re looking for. It’s just all of it. It’s just all the things that he continues to grow, take advantage of opportunities, and lead. Another great week of practice in terms of just pushing the guys and really being the voice out there—all the things. So all those things are stuff that I’m proud about, just the way that he’s continuing to grow.”</p><h2><b>Bryce Young’s numbers since returning to start for Panthers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Bryce-Young_4c5577.jpg"><figcaption>Bob Donnan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-bryce-young-reveals-keys-turnaround-after-benching">Since returning to the starting lineup</a>, Young has thrown for 560 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception across three games, earning a passer rating of 85.4.</p><p>While those <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/best-nfl-qb-rating-last-3-games" rel="noopener">numbers</a> are much better than his previous performances, in that span, none of those are even in the top half in the NFL. He’s 22nd in completions, 25th in completion percentage and 24th in yards.</p><p>If you’re a Panthers fan—or part of the organization—you have to be encouraged by Young’s progression, especially given the significant assets Carolina traded to select him No. 1 overall last year. However, it’s worth approaching the optimism with a dose of caution.</p><h2><b>Bryce Young, Panthers have faced lesser competition recently</b></h2><p>Context matters in evaluating NFL quarterbacks, and while no game in this league is easy, the quality of competition can heavily influence perception. Since Young’s return, the Panthers have gone 2-1. His performance against the Chiefs was particularly impressive, as Kansas City boasts the league’s fifth-ranked total defense. Young posted a season-high 263 passing yards in the effort.</p><p>However, the two games prior to Kansas City came against weaker defenses. In his return against the Saints, Young threw for 171 yards with one touchdown and one interception—his only turnover since coming back. New Orleans ranks 31st in total defense, 29th in passing defense, and 20th in scoring defense. Despite those favorable conditions, Carolina escaped with a one-point win.</p><p>The following week, in an overtime victory against the Giants, Young managed only 126 passing yards and one touchdown. Though New York’s defense is stronger than the Saints, ranking 17th in total defense and 4th against the pass, it still marked a relatively underwhelming performance.</p><p>Young’s showing against Kansas City remains a positive step forward, but tougher competition looms in the Panthers’ remaining games, offering him a chance to further prove himself. He’ll once again <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-bryce-young-start-buccaneers">get the start against the Buccaneers in Week 13</a>.</p><h2><b>Is there a better option in the 2025 NFL Draft?</b></h2><p>The Panthers currently hold the No. 5 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, a spot that could change depending on how they finish the season. If they remain in the top five, they could consider selecting a quarterback. History suggests that any team picking in the top five at least entertains the idea, as a high draft pick often reflects issues at the quarterback position.</p><p>If Carolina’s coaching staff identifies a prospect they believe is an upgrade, it would be prudent to consider taking a quarterback. This could also create an opportunity to trade Young, recouping assets while resetting at the position.</p><p>It’s worth noting that Young was not Canales’ choice; he was selected under former head coach Frank Reich. If Canales determines by season’s end that Young isn’t the answer, he may push for a quarterback of his own choosing. Stability has been elusive in Carolina, particularly at head coach, but Canales will undoubtedly aim to solidify his position. Part of doing so could mean moving on from an inherited quarterback to find one that aligns with his vision.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
