Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young says he was surprised to learn from head coach Dave Canales that he had been benched and accepted blame for the team’s struggles on the field.
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young said he was surprised to learn from head coach Dave Canales that he'd been benched and accepted blame for the team's struggles on the field. 'It was not something that I was necessarily expecting,' Young said following Thursday's practice. 'Obviously not something that was great to hear. But I respect coach Canales and the organization.
There are plays and a long list of things that I wish I was better at and I'm going to continue to work and grow and be better at them. I'm always going to look in the mirror.' He added, 'If I went out there and played better, and we won games, we wouldn't be having this conversation.' Young is the first quarterback selected No. 1 overall in the common draft era starting in 1967 to be benched for noninjury reasons in his second season.
