In the loss to Kansas City, Young completed 21 of 35 pass attempts and threw for 263 yards to go along with one touchdown pass, leading the team to six scoring drives. Canales would say Monday that he is “proud” of Young and the development he has done each week of the current season, according to NBC Sports.

After benching him two weeks into the campaign, Canales reinserted Young into the starting lineup in place of an injured Andy Dalton in Week 8. Since then, Canales has taken his decision under center week by week— refusing to commit to either quarterback following each game.

Despite falling short against the Kansas City Chiefs, Panthers head coach Dave Canales is seeing signs of progress in second year quarterback Bryce Young. After reviewing game footage, Canales shared his evaluation of Young’s performance, focusing on his growth, composure, and areas for improvement.
