The most telling evidence that it was time for the Bryce Young era to end in Carolina is the immediate acceptance that followed. Nobody seemed to mind.
Through the first two games, the Panthers have the second-worst expected points added (EPA) per play of any offense since 2007. Young's 9.1 QBR ranks 504th out of 506 passers.
Eighteen games into Young's tenure, just two games into his second season, the Panthers benched the No. 1 pick in last year's draft and everyone collectively shrugged.
I'm not suggesting Stafford's turnaround is proof Young can do the same, but it seems natural to reflect on how we got here and what comes next.
