Panthers' Rookie QB Bryce Young Struggles Amid Team Tension
Despite a challenging season and coaching staff disagreements, Young shows signs of improvement as Panthers search for new leadership.
- Carolina Panthers' rookie quarterback Bryce Young had a difficult season, with the team finishing with the worst record in the NFL at 2-15.
- Young's performance was reportedly affected by tension within the coaching staff, leading to the firing of head coach Frank Reich, quarterbacks coach Josh McCown, and running backs coach Duce Staley.
- Despite the challenges, Young showed signs of improvement towards the end of the season, throwing just two interceptions over his final six games and achieving his only 300-yard passing game of the season in Week 15.
- An anonymous Panthers coach suggested that Young's conservative play was a result of throwing two interceptions in his first game, leading to a cautious approach for the rest of the season.
- The Panthers are considering several options for a new head coach and offensive coordinator, with Detroit Lions OC Ben Johnson being a potential choice.
