Panthers’ Bryce Young benched: Is the former No. 1 overall pick one of the biggest QB busts of all-time?

To say that things have gone poorly for the Carolina Panthers in recent seasons would be putting it mildly. The club has gone under .500 in each of the previous six seasons and appears destined to suffer the same fate in 2024. After a 0-2 start to the season, the club has since reached a new low, with the latest chapter revolving around the benching of quarterback Bryce Young. 

And this feels like rock bottom. 

The highlight of Young’s tenure with Carolina so far has essentially been draft night when the organization selected him with the No. 1 overall pick out of Alabama. However, the events that have followed that pick have made that decision age like milk. Now that selection has drifted into the territory of being spoken about as one of the worst maneuvers in league history and Young as possibly one of the biggest draft busts.

Of course, the situation revolving around Young and the Panthers is layered as we start to speak about it in that context. Sure, on the surface, we’re evaluating a single player and his poor performance on the field. For instance, Young is 2-16 as a starter thus far in his career, which is the third-worst win percentage (.111) by a quarterback since 1950 (minimum of 15 starts).
