What a turnaround it has been for Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young. After being benched in favor of Andy Dalton earlier in the season, Young has emerged from the depths and has established himself as the Panthers' clear answer under center heading into 2025.

David Tepper told me: “A real good win. I think we’ve got our QB here.” Since Tepper purchased the franchise back in 2018, the Panthers have rolled out nine different starting quarterbacks. That seven-year span has resulted in zero playoff appearances for Carolina, the longest such drought in their history.

Both David Tepper and Dave Canales offered endorsements of the former Heisman winner as Carolina’s 2025 starter.
