The Carolina Panthers have decided to make a change at quarterback, opting to start Andy Dalton over Bryce Young for Week 3.

This decision comes after Young struggled in his rookie season, and despite LeBron James offering words of encouragement to uplift Young’s spirits.

While Young has struggled, it’s important to consider the circumstances around him, with coaching changes and lack of stability impacting his development.

Despite the setbacks, giving up on a former No. 1 pick like Young so early in his career raises questions about the Panthers’ decision-making and the support system provided to young talents.

As the Panthers move forward with Dalton, the handling of Young’s situation serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by young quarterbacks in the NFL.
