Yahoo Sports NFL on Bryce Young
From the article
Young's PROE on early downs has flipped to the positive, and he's pushing the ball downfield... Young's patience in the pocket and belief in the scheme have been the biggest development.
STACKED’s take
Young's PROE flipped to +5.2%; EPA per dropback up to 0.31 in pass-friendly scheme.
Young has shown marked improvement in 2026 compared to 2025, suggesting the Panthers' offensive scheme change is taking hold. His Pass Rate Over Expected flipped from -5.9% (2025) to +5.2% (2026); Passing Success Rate improved from 49.1% to 51.2%; EPA per Dropback rose from -0.09 to 0.31. Carolina operates as a pass-friendly offense now, with Young pushing the ball downfield and supporting receivers like Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker. The Panthers' improving offensive line and ability to create explosives on the ground and through the air, combined with Young's patience in the pocket and belief in the scheme, represent the biggest development. If this buy-in continues against Philadelphia, the Eagles and NFC South should take notice.
