Windy City Gridiron on Bryce Young
From the article
When Young is good, he's pretty good. When he's bad, he wobbles between ineffective and incautious. Unfortunately, his average is far closer to ineffective than even adequate... I doubt, at this point, that he is going to start the season on fire and keep burning through January.
STACKED’s take
Young unlikely to earn extension; average closer to ineffective than adequate despite improvement.
Cat Scratch Reader assesses Young as unlikely to earn an extension after this season; when good he's 'pretty good,' but his average is 'far closer to ineffective than even adequate.' His improvement under Canales is real but insufficient to merit extension given draft capital spent. The critical unknown is whether he's hit his ceiling or can build skills to overcome his NFL entrance; Cat Scratch Reader doubts he'll 'start the season on fire and keep burning through January,' projecting instead an 'OK season.' Young's size remains an impediment, and most Panthers fans are 'tired of asking' whether he'll step up. The best-case scenario for the Panthers is Young 'put[s] it together,' but 'it just seems unlikely.' Most likely outcome: Panthers eat salary and flip him for a Day 3 pick or keep him as a highly paid backup.
