Over the past few weeks, after a tough start to the season, Bryce Young has had a chance to re-solidify himself as the Carolina Panthers starting quarterback of the future. His teammates, unfortunately, do not seem all that interested in helping the quarterback when he puts them in a position to succeed.
With the Panthers battling the rival New Orleans Saints in a tight division game, Young uncorked an absolutely beautiful pass to rookie playmaker Xavier Legette downfield. It should’ve been a big-time completion for the Panthers created by the person who may well still save their franchise.
Instead, Saints cornerback Shemar Jean-Charles made a terrific play to rip the ball out of Legette’s arms. This, naturally, somehow counts as an interception for Young.
What a cruel twist and a perfect symbol for how the Panthers have failed Young in his early career so far:

At the very least, Young helped Carolina capture a surprising 23-22 win over the Saints. You just wish he wouldn’t have the worst luck on actual remarkable plays he makes.
