Mel Kiper Jr. went on a furious tirade about every single mistake the Panthers made with Bryce Young

It happened a little early, but Bryce Young is no longer the Carolina Panthers starting quarterback. It’s a massive organization failure that the former No. 1 overall legitimately had no traction in just 18 starts. And it’s emblematic of how most NFL first-round quarterbacks have tried and failed lately. (Plus, Young might have just not been good enough.)

But ESPN’s NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. refused to let the Panthers off the hook.

In an epic tirade during Get Up on Tuesday, Kiper exhaustively went through every single mistake the Panthers made with Young. From trading the farm to get him, then throwing him into the fire, to hanging him out dry developmentally when his professional career was already kinda hanging in the balance.

Kiper hit on every point about the Young debacle in Charlotte, and he didn’t tell a single lie:

The Panthers screwed up with Young. There should be no reason to believe their next chance will be any better. As far as analysts like Kiper are concerned, this iteration of Carolina probably can’t be trusted with another young quarterback.
