Bryce Young First Interview Since Getting Benched (Full)

Former first overall NFL draft pick Bryce Young talks being benched by the Carolina Panthers in week two of his 2nd season.

[@Tyteamgs]

I got a feeling this benching lights a fire under him

[@stevetyrell8721]

Whatever works

[@Kingtone1209]

lol doubt that. i assume u never played ball before, being benched is crushing and does nothing for your morale lol. Lets just hope he stays positive

[@SargeBangBang]

You don't know ball. Losing 16 games didn't motivate him but being benched does?

[@brandonarnold-z5y]

I got a feeling he still can't throw the long ball with those tiny hands.

[@704_ss_connor-4]

Lies......lol "calling on the lord" is not confidence that's an insecurity...that's a grown man that can't say " I got this and I'll bounce back"...instead he brings up the lord?...look I'm black and I know the only time we usually call on the lord is when things go bad.....and we do not have any where to turn....stop talking nonsense sir

[@Barm4545]

I honestly think this is good for him. He needs to sit and learn… he was COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED.

[@kendallshimabukuro6250]

Totally agree. Even if Andy played this season and let Bryce call the plays to him, and in the meantime Bryce formulated what he would do in Andy's position, I think that would be of HUGE benefit to Bryce instead of desperately trying to throw the ball down the field while scrambling to salvage a broken play.

[@rjwill1992]

He needs to be traded. Get him the fuck out of NC.

[@uXerxes]

then again what happens if andy does good his career is over

[@rjwill1992]

@@uXerxes You mean like how Joe Flacco outplayed Watson? Or Fields looks better than Caleb?

[@uXerxes]

@@rjwill1992 yes exactly.. the front office confidence is already low in him now imagine Andy dalton starts leading this team on drives and tds to the point he atleast makes the team competitive the front office will know it’s Bryce and not the team around him genuinely hope it works out for Bryce as my brother is a die hard panthers fan hope yalls suffering ends sometime soon 😭!

[@andreaubin]

Keep you head up Bryce! Keep learning bro rooting for you.

[@randymoorejr711]

He's overwhelmed and it took a toll on him already. He's definitely hurt. He's not used to losing

[@alfrancisco3053]

Exactly he's a national champion and a heisman trophy winner he's not used to losing he comes from a winning culture at Alabama. I think he was thrown into the starting position too early he needed at least 1 season on the bench learning from a vet QB. Now he gets a chance to do that watching Andy Dalton play and he will learn a ton now from Andy who has been in the similar position in the past.

[@marlinem26]

The players around him at AL, made him better.

[@WerdUp13]

​@@alfrancisco3053100% was not a national champion lol.

[@You0nlyLiveonce]

An undersized rookie qb gets thrown to the worst team in the league by a large margin. It's a recipe for disaster. As a lifelong browns fan I can tell you from experience it doesn't take long for a QBs confidence to be shattered and for them to quickly become a head case. Wishing this dude the best.

[@mlc9928]

The one main thing I caught from this was “the ball was in my hand every play and I didn’t do enough”. That’s straight from the coaches mouth and it’s clear to see that he has been made very clear that he had a fair chance to prove himself.

[@MarilynOsaka]

It’s called being mature and accountable.

[@shkim3and]

“Super grateful and super blessed….” Repeatedly speaking.

[@williamforsythe9180]

That’s because he is. They gave him almost $40 million for doing jack shit

[@SeaMonkey137]

This man has more maturity and accountability than many (maybe most) of the NFL veterans I've seen interviewed over the years. No doubt he'll find a better-run system somewhere else and have a very good chance at a very good career.

[@Bigchief869]

Come back and shock the world Big Bryce

[@grandwonder5858]

He has already shocked the world since despite being the #1 overall pick he turns out to be a disappointment.

[@nwkey]

He has my support - a 8.9 QBR through 2 games warrants at least a 1 game benching though. There’s other players whose futures and careers depend on his performance.

[@its570Key]

1 game? Sit him the whole year to learn how to be a pro and he might actually be solid with us next year

[@nathannembhard448]

I think the right plan is to bring him back for the last 4 games or less unless we're fighting for playoffs somehow

[@Kingtone1209]

He needs to get out of Carolina

[@Michael-ld2np]

8.9?!?! I know he was underperforming but 8.9?!?!

[@wiltonfelder8614]

He balled out last year in that green bay game tho

[@22s22a]

Okay he needs to do that consistently

[@DrownInLysergic]

But he didn't do that in any other game and that's the issue. I will say his biggest target in that game was Chark and now Chark is a Charger so he lost that.

[@camronking7947]

@@DrownInLysergicyeah there’s no weapons there for him to utilize, you can be a great qb, but if there’s nobody on the same page, it isn’t happening. Look at who Aaron Rodger’s is, look who Wilson is, they’re just now starting to click, if all the receivers and tight ends wasn’t on the page with Rodger’s, the jets would still look like they did against the 49ers week one. Luckily Aaron and his guys are clicking, for the most part

I hope Bryce does well and he's earned everything he's gotten so far.

This is just a shame -- from many viewpoints. Other than the public embarrassment and humiliation he may be feeling after having been demoted (which is waaaaay different than having been cut or suspended indefinitely), this really isn't as big a deal as everyone is making it out to be. Ideally, Bryce should have sat as a rookie, to start -- so the fact that he's sitting now is appropriate. Apparently, his footwork is inconsistent, he can't read the field, and he can't properly process the game in real time -- why would anyone be allowed to play QB if they can't at least do that?? Severe remediation is needed here in order to give him a shot at ever playing in the NFL again as a starter. But if Dalton gets hurt, as QB2, Bryce could find himself as the starter again at any point in the season (until CAR signs a competent QB) -- so he just needs to stay ready and look to do what the coaching staff asks of him, in the interim. Easier said than done, tho, with all of the deficiencies in his game.

[@MikeJones-zv7ou]
