Bryce Young evolved before the NFL world's eyes. The Carolina Panthers quarterback willed himself back from the brink, recovering from a benching just 18 games

The Carolina Panthers aren’t heading to the postseason, but they believe they’ve finally found a franchise quarterback.

David Tepper told me: “A real good win. I think we’ve got our QB here.” Since Tepper purchased the franchise back in 2018, the Panthers have rolled out nine different starting quarterbacks. That seven-year span has resulted in zero playoff appearances for Carolina, the longest such drought in their history.

After a surprising win over the Atlanta Falcons, the owners of the Carolina Panthers have seemingly made a decision on the future of quarterback Bryce Young.

What a turnaround it has been for Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young. After being benched in favor of Andy Dalton earlier in the season, Young has emerged from the depths and has established himself as the Panthers' clear answer under center heading into 2025.

Not even Cam Newton, in his dually-decorated decade for the Carolina Panthers, accomplished what Bryce Young did with his arm and his feet on Sunday.

Both David Tepper and Dave Canales offered endorsements of the former Heisman winner as Carolina’s 2025 starter.
