    The Carolina Panthers have been one of the worst teams in the NFL so far this season, only winning one game through the first nine weeks. While most fans and analysts expected the Panthers to not perform well this season, a big reason has been because of the poor quarterback play. Both quarterbacks Bryce Young and Andy Dalton have not been able to help their team win games, and head coach Dave Canales seems to have made up his mind on who will be the starter for now.

    Canales announced that the team would be starting Young once again this week despite Dalton being healthy enough to play this week, making him the backup to Bryce. Young has not been able to lead his team to victory so far in 2024, with their only win coming in Week Three against the Las Vegas Raiders, with Dalton as the starter.

    Young has only amounted to 523 passing yards and two touchdowns this season compared to Dalton’s 989 yards and seven touchdowns. Many fans and analysts are questioning the decision to start Young even though Dalton is healthy enough to play this week against the New Orleans Saints. With only two wins in his career, Young has been one of the worst starters in recent memory.

    The decision to start Young seems to be because of his potential, however, he has still been unable to prove that he can be a solid starter in the NFL. Even though Dalton has been mediocre throughout his career, he seems like the best option Carolina has to win games.

    Do you agree with the Panthers’ decision to bench Dalton and start Young?
