Bryce Young had a challenging rookie season with the Carolina Panthers, enduring a tough campaign with only two wins under his belt.
The former Alabama quarterback struggled with various issues, from poor blocking and receivers to a lack of development in his own skills. However, Andy Dalton, a veteran mentor for Young, praised the rookie for handling the adversity well and believes he will bounce back stronger.
Dalton, with 13 years of experience in the NFL, understands the ups and downs of the game. The Panthers have made significant moves in the offseason to support Young in his second year. They brought in head coach Dave Canales, known for revitalizing the careers of other quarterbacks, and invested in guards Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis for better protection. Additionally, they traded for wide receiver Diontae Johnson to provide Young with a reliable playmaker.
Dalton expressed confidence in the team’s offseason moves, stating that the improvements set Young up for a better year. With high expectations and a first-round pick invested in him, Young must showcase growth and development this season to justify the team’s faith in him. The Panthers are banking on Young’s success to propel the team forward and avoid setbacks in the years to come.
