Bryce Young struggled significantly during his early NFL career with the Carolina Panthers, facing challenges under head coach Frank Reich. After an initial 1-10 record, Reich was dismissed, impacting Young's growth. Despite the rough start, Young rebounded later in the season, completing 65% of his passes and showing promise. Reich expressed his happiness for Young's progress and maintained his belief that top draft picks should start immediately, illustrating his confidence in Young's abilities as a quarterback.
"It was terrible for him; it was terrible for all of us who were a part of it. There were so many things to unwind there before it could get going in the right direction."
"I'm happy for Bryce. We all know he was a good player."
"To me I still hold the philosophy that if you're the first pick in the NFL draft, you're starting. To me that is a universal football principle."
