Panthers Stick with Andy Dalton Despite Struggles, Bryce Young Remains Backup

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales maintains commitment to veteran QB Andy Dalton as team faces mounting losses.

Coach Dave Canales has reaffirmed Andy Dalton as the starting quarterback for the Panthers, despite a four-game losing streak and growing pressure to play rookie Bryce Young.
Dalton has thrown six interceptions in the past four games, contributing to the Panthers' current 1-6 record and ranking among the league's lowest in offensive and defensive statistics.
Bryce Young, the 2023 No. 1 draft pick, continues to see limited playtime, primarily in the final moments of games already decided, fueling speculation about his future with the team.
Despite the team's struggles, Canales emphasizes the need for improved execution and focus on upcoming games, notably against the Denver Broncos.
Trade rumors swirl around Young and wide receiver Diontae Johnson, with both players expressing a commitment to the Panthers but acknowledging the business nature of the NFL.
