From the article

Young showed a level of play that has rarely been seen outside of Atlanta. The only game where Young has scored more than he did against the Bears last week was 2024's season finale where the Panthers beat the Falcons 44-38 in overtime. It's the kind of performance he was drafted to have routinely. Instead, it has proved very much the exception. Showing that exception in a season opener—a game that Young has traditionally bombed in— provides fresh hope that he has turned the proverbial corner.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Young's Week 1 scoring output matches his career high, signaling potential development breakthrough.

Young scored more points against the Bears in Week 1 than in all but one game of his career (the 2024 season finale vs. Atlanta, 44-38 OT win); this exceptional performance in a season opener—a game he has traditionally underperformed in—suggests he may have turned a corner in his development trajectory. The source notes this is the kind of performance he was drafted to have routinely, and the exception showing in Week 1 provides fresh hope for his progression.
