CHARLOTTE, N.C. — On first-and-10, Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Bryce Young dropped back to pass, trying to lead a quick drive down the field to cut the Indianapolis 10-point lead to one score before halftime.
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - NOVEMBER 05: Bryce Young #9 of the Carolina Panthers walks off the field after the game against the Indianapolis Colts at Bank of America Stadium on November 05, 2023 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
“Bad throws and bad decisions on both,” Young said. “I have to manage risk/reward on both properly. Both could easily have been dirted balls and especially the first one was just a better placed ball. That’s not on anybody but me. People are in position, that’s only on me to be better. That’s day one quarterback stuff. There’s no crazy depth to it, there’s no deeper story, those are bad plays.”
Young was right about his mistakes and turnovers. There really wasn’t anyone to blame but himself, which is humbling, but also somewhat of straightforward problem to fix. These are learning moments for him that should help him as he tries to patch things up, and at least these specific mistakes are ones that only rely on him, and not changes to the structure of the entire offense.
And the Panthers haven't won very much at all, now sitting at 1-7. Contrast that with the 4-4 Houston Texans and C.J. Stroud, whoon Sunday. Stroud is a heavy favorite for Offensive Rookie of the Year, and while Young did beat him head-to-head last week, the Texans have to be feeling a lot better about the quarterback they drafted immediately after the Panthers spent a ransom of two first-round picks, two seconds and star wide receiver D.J. Moore to move to No. 1 overall and select Young.
