The Bryce Young era in Carolina has hit a dramatic speed bump. Whether it results in his time with the Panthers coming to a close is a conversation for later on, but the former No. 1 overall pick has been benched. This comes after the team’s 0-2 start to the 2024 season, capped off recently by their Week 2 loss at home to the Los Angeles Chargers that featured another lifeless showing by the offense under Young.
After being the top overall pick of the Panthers in 2023, it’s essentially been downhill for Young. The Alabama product is 2-16 as a starter, which is the third-worst win percentage by a quarterback since 1950 (min. of 15 starts). In the loss on Sunday, Young threw for just 84 yards on 26 attempts with an interception.
While his standing within the organization has hit an all-time low, he isn’t the first signal caller taken with the first overall pick to be benched by his team. Below, we’ll highlight the other quarterbacks that have met the same fate with their teams dating back to 2000.
