Bryce Young among QBs likely to lose starting job in 2026
Summary

Bryce Young of the Carolina Panthers has been identified as one of the NFL quarterbacks most likely to lose his starting position in 2026. An analyst points out that while Young showed promise by leading the Panthers to the playoffs in 2025, his performance remains inconsistent. The team may consider options for his replacement, including free-agent Kenny Pickett, if Young underperforms this season. Currently, the Panthers lack reliable backup options, with only undrafted rookie Haynes King available apart from Pickett.
