After being benched in favor of Andy Dalton, there were a ton of people who refused to call Bryce Young a bust and blamed the Carolina Panthers for not having better players around him for him to succeed.
Well, Andy Dalton shut that down with one game played.
Dalton gave Carolina the jolt it so badly needed on Sunday, throwing for 319 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Panthers to their first win of the year and actually look like a competent team for the first time in a long time.
Out of the gate, the Panthers simply operated at a different level with Dalton as their quarterback.
With Bryce Young under center, Carolina was outscored a combined 73-13 by the Saints and Chargers in the first two weeks.With Andy Dalton, the Panthers cruised to a 36-22 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.
After the game, former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown decided to rub it in even more and destroy Bryce Young with his praise of Dalton.
“ESPN spent all week talkin’ bout feeling bad for Bryce Young ’cause he didn’t have weapons. Then Andy Dalton comes in and throws 300+ and 3 TDs,” Brown tweeted.
“They put in washed Andy Dalton to test the offense and make sure that Bryce Young was really that a–,” Brown also said.
