For two and a half years, the Carolina Panthers have waited for signs that Bryce Young would grow into the type of quarterback who can elevate an entire franchise. That’s the expectation when you take a quarterback No. 1 overall.

Young has accumulated 1,390 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, six interceptions, and a 61.1% completion rate this season, which doesn’t offer much protection.
