Not much has gone right for the Carolina Panthers over the last month of the season. They've lost three straight games and continue to have issues in pass protection, rushing the quarterback and in coverage.
One big exception to the rule is quarterback Bryce Young, who bounced back on Sunday against an elite defense after a pair of poor starts against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Green Bay Packers. Facing a lethal Denver Broncos pass rush, Young managed to go 28-of-39 for 276 yards, three touchdowns and one pick for a 106.4 passer rating and an 84.6 QBR in the 26-21 defeat.
Young has had better games statistically against Detroit and Chicago—but given the level of competition, you could make a case that this Week 9 showing was his best start of the year.
Let's see where Young ranks going into Week 10 . . .
- Completion rate: 60.4 percent (37th)
- Passing yards: 2,197 (eighth)
- Passing yards per game: 274.6 (fourth)
- First downs: 109 (sixth)
- Yards per attempt: 7.1 (tied for 19th)
- Passing touchdowns: 16 (tied for seventh)
- 20+ yard passes: 27 (tied for eighth)
- Passer rating: 91.3 (22nd)
- QBR: 64.7 (10th)
- EPA/play: 0.088 (14th)
- Success rate: 44.9 percent (20th)
- CPOE: 1.3 percent (13th)
- Air yards: 8.4 (ninth)
Next up, Young gets a bit of a break—as he will face a New Orleans Saints defense that ranks 28th against the pass.
