Was that Charlotte, N.C.? Or Philadelphia?
Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Bryce Young heard a smattering of boos during his Bank of America Stadium debut on Monday Night Football, a 20-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints
In two NFL starts, Young, the 2021 Heisman Trophy recipient, has struggled to hit the big play. In fact, his futility is near-historic. Young’s 4.2 yards per attempt is the third lowest in NFL history for QBs with at least 50 attempts.
Twitter fans reacted Monday to Young suffering losses in his first two outings.

Young’s body language is proving foreign …
Saying this as a HUGE Bryce Young fan, but I wish he had better body language in the second half of this game and the last game
Someone pick him up (not literally)

Skip speaks …
Bryce Young has very little run game, very little protection and no receiver who can consistently separate – unless you argue Thielen. Against that veteran, crafty, physical Saints D … well, the kid's in for a long night. BUT HE'S GOING TO BE GOOD.

Not impressing the masses …
Anthony Richardson and CJ Stroud have both had their warts so far but overall have both been really promising for their respective teams.
Idk what to takeaway from Bryce Young’s early play in Carolina though. It’s been a really rough start for him and that offense

Not to compare, but …
Over first 2 games with Panthers
Cam Newton- 925 total yards (854 pass 71 rush) 5 TDs
Bryce Young- 340 total yards ( 289 passing 51 rushing) 2 TDs
Not all #1 picks are the same

Young connected on the Panthers’ longest pass play Monday, a 22-yarder to rookie Jonathan Mingo, who curiously didn’t attempt to power his way into the end zone …
There hasn’t been much to get excited about with the panthers offense tonight, but here the Rookie combo of Bryce Young and Jonathan Mingo connect for a nice gain to setup a TD on the next play.
Great read, and great timing from Bryce Young, one of his best throws tonight. pic.twitter.com/cpmRWfbN0S
