There wasn’t much light at the end of the tunnel for Bryce Young and the Panthers following his benching after a brutal two weeks to open the season. However, a miracle turnaround has happened and Young has taken this second chance and made the most of it with an impressive stretch of four games. Young’s most recent performance against the defending Super Bowl Champions was the best yet of his young career.
Remember when Bryce Young was an epic bust? Yeah, never mind😉

While over the three games prior Young has look much improved, this past Sunday vs the Chiefs, he looked like a completely reborn quarterback. Against one of the tougher defenses in the league Young ended up completing 21 of 35 passing attempts, for 263 yards, and a touchdown. Young made a handful of absolutely ridiculous throws that highlighted his anticipatory throwing talents that he showed off during the draft process and he looked calm and collected facing a ferocious Kansas City pass rush.
Bryce Young may have just thrown the best pass of his NFL career.

This game could be the turning point for Carolina and their confidence in Young and this offense. It’s all the more impressive when you consider the weapons Young has had to work with to this point, which consists mostly of rookies and an aging Adam Thielen. If Young can consistently string together performances like we saw on Sunday, he will no doubt be the answer moving forward for the Panthers.
