Bryce Young shows significant improvement in passing stats for Panthers

Summary

In 2026, Panthers quarterback Bryce Young averages 274.6 passing yards and two touchdowns per game, a substantial increase from his previous three seasons, where he averaged 180.2 yards and one touchdown. This season, he ranks in the top 10 for both categories. Young's enhanced performance is notable given the Panthers' subpar pass blocking and limited offensive skill positions. His growing confidence and decisiveness are key factors in his development. As the Panthers consider a long-term contract extension for Young, his 2026 performance may strongly influence their decision.
