The Carolina Panthers plan to give Bryce Young the opportunity to be the team’s starter of the future after his recent improvements on the field.
Young figures into the team’s future plans as a franchise quarterback, showing the growth he has shown during his second stint of the season as a signal caller.
The former top overall pick was benched after Week 2 in favor of 37-year-old Andy Dalton.
After an injury to Dalton, Young was used again as starter and won the 2-2.
The Panthers have enough confidence in Young that the team has no plans to draft a quarterback in the higher rounds in 2025. per NFL Network.
What a turnaround that is for Young, who was thought to be left behind after being benched in September.

After the growth Young has shown in recent weeks, the Panthers are ready to invest
The Panthers haven’t done much this season to remove their status as one of the NFL’s worst teams.
However, Carolina has taken steps to not be widely regarded as solely the league’s worst franchise.
Young’s first season as the Panthers’ quarterback did not go as planned, with a 2-15 record that did not inspire much confidence.
Heading into Week 13, Carolina has already improved on that mark by going 3-8.
Now Young gets to show how much he has grown in the final six weeks of the regular season, with Panthers management behind him.
