The Carolina Panthers are struggling to get it going in the NFL. They have lost consecutive games New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Chargers and will now face the Las Vegas Raiders in the next game.
Bryce Young will be benched as veteran quarterback Andy Dalton will take up his place. Coach Dave Canales confirmed the decision. He said as quoted by USA Today, "This is the best decision for our group moving forward. "Andy Dalton gives us the best chance…I watched the film. Ultimately this falls on me. I feel this is the best decision to help the Panthers win."
Now NBA and LA Lakers legend LeBron James has come out in support of the Carolina Panthers quarterback. LeBron took to X as he posted, "Bryce Young hold ya head Young !!
"Rooting for you and know this ain't on you!
"Continue to put the work in and it shall prevail!"
Young was the top pick in the NFL draft but hasn’t been consistent with his performance. He was the preferred choice last season and his stats read 11 touchdowns, 10 interceptions and 2877 yards of throwing. But he has lost 16 out of the 18 matches he started and head coach Dave Canales confirmed on Monday that Dalton will start the match against the Raiders.
There were rumours of a possible trade involving Bryce Young but head coach Canales has refuted all the rumours. As per Athletics’ Joe Person, "That's not something we're really considering.
"We have a great situation with our quarterbacks right now… We love where we're at and we're all hands on deck. We're focused on playing the (Las Vegas) Raiders this week."
