The Panthers have benched 2023 No. 1 overall draft pick Bryce Young after the second-year quarterback’s rough start to the season.

Andy Dalton will take over as the starter for the Panthers’ game against the Raiders on Sunday in Las Vegas.

Panthers head coach Dave Canales said he made the decision after watching film from the team’s 26-3 loss to the Chargers.

He informed both quarterbacks of the decision on Monday after consulting with general manager Dan Morgan and vice president of football operations Brandt Tillis.

“After watching the film and taking in all of the information I feel like Andy gives us the best chance to win,” Canales said.

Canales wouldn’t say if Dalton will remain the starter beyond this week saying “right now the focus is on this week.”

Young struggled last season as a rookie with nearly as many interceptions (10 ) as touchdown passes (11), and those struggles have carried over to this year.

He’s completed just 31 of 56 passes for 244 yards with three interceptions as the Panthers have started 0-2 this season for the second straight year and have been outscored 73-13 by the Saints and Chargers. Young has run for one touchdown, the only one of the season for the Panthers.

Young is 2-16 as a starter overall since the Panthers traded up eight spots in the 2023 NFL draft to get him. He becomes the first quarterback selected No. 1 overall in the common draft era starting in 1967 to be benched for non-injury reasons in his second season.
