What do we see from Carolina?
Let’s get to it quick.
Like they, they bench Bryce Young a question.
A lot of people questioned that decision.
Andy Dalton came out and immediately looked so in control, hit guys in stride.
I mean, he made that offense look easy.
I I it was, there’s no other way to look at this than Bryce Young was that bad.
Like there’s just, I’m sorry, there’s just no other way to look at it because Andy Dalton who’s in the backup phase of his career right now, it looked like he looked like an all pro.
Like, how do you explain that other than he just looked that good in comparison to Bryce Young who’s just not a functional NFL quarterback like it was night and day and when a 36 year old Journeyman, I think we can call him at this point.
It is looking 10 times better than you.
It is not a good sign for him getting another shot this season.
I look it could revert.
We’ve seen a lot of times where teams rally around a backup quarterback, their first game in there and then just kind of sink back and, and regress and, and it just, you know, we could be here in the Panthers lost for the last five and go back to Bryce Young or whatever.
But today, as we sit here, the only takeaway I can have is Bryce Young was that bad at football that Andy Dalton takes over and all of a sudden if you’re a Panthers, you’re like, yeah.
Ok. Well, we started, oh, and two.
But now we’re one and two and we’re one and oh, at this quarterback, like this is an almost new season for us.
Like they should be feeling like we can go compete now that we have some competence at quarterback and it is so damning on Bryce Young and how poorly he had played.
