Where Panthers QB Bryce Young ranks statistically after Week 1
Where does Bryce Young rank statistically among all NFL QBs following Sunday's Week 1 action?
The Carolina Panthers faced a challenging matchup against the Chicago Bears in their Week 1 game, ultimately losing 59-37. This marked the highest point total allowed by the Panthers, placing it as the fourth-highest in Chicago's extensive history. Despite the defensive struggles, there were several positive aspects to the game.
Offensive coordinator Brad Idzik demonstrated significant improvement compared to head coach Dave Canales, Chuba Hubbard showcased explosive play-making abilities, and wide receiver Jalen Coker appeared to be developing into a star. Quarterback Bryce Young, however, had one of the most productive games of his career, recording 361 passing yards, his second-highest total, and throwing for four touchdowns.
In terms of quarterback statistics, Young ranked third in passing yards, second in first downs, fourth in yards per attempt, tied for second in touchdowns, third in 20+ yard passes, tied for third in passer rating, eighth in EPA/play, tied for ninth in success rate, ninth in air yards, and ninth in interception percentage. Young also threw one interception, which was attributed to a strong play by cornerback Malik Muhammad rather than an error on his part.
The Panthers' next opponent is the Atlanta Falcons, a team where Young has historically performed better than any other opponent.
