The New Orleans Saints showed the Carolina Panthers’ remaining opponents the blueprint for beating this team moving forward. Stifle the run game early, mainly Rico Dowdle, and force Bryce Young to beat you.
In Week 10, Young showed he could not do that.
Young has thrown for over 200 passing yards just once, in the failed Week 2 comeback attempt against the Arizona Cardinals. Most of those yards came in garbage time with Carolina down big and going up against a depleted secondary. While you can’t argue against the quarterback being clutch in the fourth quarter, his lack of threat through the air is a genuine concern.
