Panthers send Bryce Young to the bench in a stunning move
Once again, the Carolina Panthers are looking like the worst team in the NFL. Not only that, but the trade to land the No. 1 pick to bring in Bryce Young is getting more awful by the second. Following the 26-3 loss to the Chargers in Week 2, the coaching staff has decided it's time to make a change.
With that, Young is headed to the bench. In a shocking decision, the Panthers indeed are pulling Young as the team's starter and they'll be going with veteran Andy Dalton.

You've got to feel for Carolina fans. Things just seem to be going from bad to worse. The hope was that when they brought in Young, he'd help turn the franchise around. Instead, another long, dreadful season appears to be on the way for the NFC South side.
