Quarterback Bryce Young didn’t lose much at Alabama, but he loses a lot in the NFL.
After Sunday’s 42-21 loss to the Dolphins, the Panthers fell to 0-6 and are the only undefeated team remaining in the league this season. Young missed one game and started five of the losses, making him the eighth quarterback to be selected No. 1 overall after dropping at least that many games to start his pro career.
That list also includes players like Troy Aikman and Eli Manning, so it’s no surprise that Young looks at the Panthers’ current situation and emphasizes the long-term picture over current struggles. do not have.
“It’s tough,” Young said via Augusta Stone on the team’s website. “I i love this team, believe in this team. I’m happy to be a part of this team. And obviously it wasn’t where we wanted it to be or what we wanted it to be. It’s hard, but we have to keep building, keep growing, keep improving, and try to find what we’ve got so far. We have to expand on that. We have to continue to build on the positives, but of course a lot of things have to be resolved. ”
Young and the Panthers led 14-0 against Miami before the tide turned on Sunday. While this may be a positive sign for how the week ahead will go, mental wins don’t translate into the standings, and the Panthers need a 60-minute win to truly feel good about the direction of their franchise.
