2024: Young was benched after two absolutely dreadful starts where he was picked three times against no touchdowns. The world wrote him off, and he did not write back. Reclaiming the job after Andy Dalton got into a car accident, Young played out the final 10 games of the season with a 4-6 record, 61.8 percent completion rate, 15 touchdowns and six interceptions. Carolina’s poor talent around Young in the passing game held him back, as among other things he should have had a game-winning touchdown throw against the Eagles that Xavier Legette simply dropped.
What’s changed: Major upgrades in that wideout corps, for one thing. The Panthers drafted Tetairoa McMillan with their top-10 pick, giving Young a top three of McMillan, Legette, and Adam Thielen. The Panthers will be hoping Legette and tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders can take leaps forward in their second season, and that last year’s offensive line additions don’t show any regression.
2025 Outlook: The Panthers are feisty, but it sure seems like what they do best is run the ball. That makes it hard to forecast Young as more than a superflex QB2 without major growth, and as much as we saw growth late last season, it’s not like Young has physical talent that has gone unexpressed so far. We don’t believe Young is going to be a bad real life player this year, but it would be a stretch to believe he’d be fantasy-interesting.
