This game just ended Bryce Young

Andy Dalton led the Carolina Panthers to their first win of the season, delivering an impressive performance after taking over for the benched Bryce Young. In their 36-22 victory over the Raiders, Dalton threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns, marking the Panthers' first offensive scores of the season. His performance provided a much-needed spark, as he efficiently managed the offense, including a highlight-reel 31-yard touchdown pass to Adam Thielen.
Dalton's start came after Bryce Young struggled in the first two games of the season, with poor passing stats and multiple turnovers. Head coach Dave Canales made the switch after evaluating Young’s performance, giving Dalton the chance to lead the team, and the veteran quickly rewarded the Panthers with a win.
Stay tuned for more NFL coverage and NFL analysis as we continue to follow the Panthers' quarterback situation.

I agree. I don't know if Riech just didn't have the gut to tell tepper that or what, but that should've been the formula coming into last season when they first picked up Dalton. Build the team over the next couple seasons let Bryce learn then put him in with all the right pieces already in place. Panthers are just have piss poor management.

Also sometimes when someone gets to start for the first time they get that initial luck where everything goes their way and they're seeing things really clearly. Let's see what this looks like after another few weeks.

Because he has the TALENT to be a decent QB. Maybe he is at that point now. Bryce will NEVER get there. He doesn't have NFL Size, he doesn't have a NFL arm, he doesn't have anything special about him, this accuracy bad etc. People hit him for his size, and RIGHTFULLY SO. Then others bring up guys like Kyler Murray and Russel Wilson. Both those guys were baseball players, and Kyler was a star pitcher. They have CANOONs.

exactly. Sam Darnold stunk really bad in the past and is lighting it up this season. It's a very streaky position. Matt Ryan was entirely unathletic and had a weak arm, and the Falcons were able to devise a lot of short-pass routes and make him perfectly serviceable. If it can be done with Ryan, it can be done with anyone. Part of it is that coaches need to keep things fairly simple for the rookie qb.

This should be a surprise to no one. He's not called the Red Rifle for nothing. There are two truths in the NFL. 1) Fans and teams expect too much from young QBs too quickly, and 2) Fans and teams write off older QBs too quickly.

I can't say I knew Bryce wouldn't work out the day of the draft, but I felt it in my bones, and nothing he's done since ever made me think differently. He just never had NFL QB qualities.

Young has a lot to work on and a lot to learn. Dalton is a true NFL veteran QB that is to good to be a backup. I thank it's funny that a lot of people was blaming the O-line, recievers and the RB on Youngs poor performance, such as Cam Newton .

[@flyinglunchbox]

I think if anything its a great opportunity to sit Bryce behind Dalton and have him learn. Andy has few years left in him (36) and Bryce is young (23). Sign Andy to a Two-year and have Young sit and learn behind the Red-Rifle while using your picks to build up your teams O and D lines.

[@antisocialhorrorclub]

I think one of the most important lessons here is that rookie QBs shouldn't always be thrown to the fire. Some can make it work, others need time to develop. Bryce is one of those people who def. could benefit sitting behind a vet. Penix Jr. is somebody else who this time should benefit him behind Cousins.

I made the mistake of listening to ESPN Radio on Tuesday after Young’s benching. The hosts were personally devastated and full of cope and denial. They excoriated a caller who called them out for standing by Bryce and asked him how he knew Bryce couldn’t play. They didn’t give him a chance to ask what makes them think he can. Typical ESPN.

[@spinkid2000]

Basically he should have started his career this year as backup to a very capable veteran. Andy Dalton is no joke. I'm a Pats fan and I kinda wish he was playing in New England right now. Hopefully Bryce Young can do well as a back up when called upon. Even if he sees limited playing time but practices and conducts himself in a professional manner (no whining to the press) that alone will increase his off season trade value. Trading him at his lowest would be foolish. I've seen guys get run out of a city by the fans and media and management, etc and then 2-3 years later I see they are starting for some other mediocre team, or as a long time backup, to even having a breakout year eventually.

[@AbamGotti]

I seen Andy Dalton was starting and was like yep. Two touchdowns. He always has a great start. Next week could be different cause he can be inconsistent. But this was waaay better than any game he had in the cowboys. Edit: Nah he had one game like that with the cowboys.
