The Panthers\u2019 decision to bench Bryce Young in favor of Andy Dalton seems to have paid off, at least in the short term. Dalton\u2019s impressive performance in his first start, throwing for 319 yards and three touchdowns, not only revitalized Carolina\u2019s offense but also put the spotlight on the team\u2019s quarterback situation. With Dalton able to extract high-level performances from players like Diontae Johnson and Chuba Hubbard, it raises questions about whether the problem with the offense lies with Young\u2019s execution rather than the team\u2019s offensive structure.<\/p>\n
While Dalton\u2019s performance could hurt Young\u2019s trade value by suggesting that the offense\u2019s struggles were due to Young\u2019s play, there\u2019s another side to the argument. Dalton\u2019s success might indicate that the pieces around Young were never the issue, which could entice teams into believing they could help Young rediscover his college form if they build up his confidence. It\u2019s worth noting that this was only one game, and if Dalton regresses in future weeks, public sentiment may quickly shift back to Young.<\/p>\n
As of now, there\u2019s no strong indication that the Panthers are actively shopping Young, and Dalton will need to string together consistent performances for this situation to have a lasting effect on Young\u2019s future with the team. However, teams around the league will undoubtedly monitor the situation closely, especially if Dalton continues to thrive while Young remains benched.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
