C.J. Stroud's Success Doesn't Make Bryce Young a Bust, but Panthers Must Spark Growth

Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Bryce Young had another rough go of things on Thursday night against the Chicago Bears.

Young had an underwhelming stat line—21-of-28 for 185 yards—but he did some good things. He had a couple of great throws, he scrambled for first downs, and he led the Panthers from their 9-yard line and into Chicago territory before Carolina opted for a 59-yard field-goal try instead of giving Young a chance to convert a 4th-and-10.

Eddy Pineiro missed the field goal, and once again, Young and the Panthers lost, this one in 16-13 fashion.

It's only been nine games, but thus far, Young hasn't looked like a surefire future franchise quarterback.
