Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

[raleigh-panther]

Number 9  Carolina Panthers 

Bryce Young, the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, produced career highs in completion percentage (63.6%), passing yards per game (188.2) and passing touchdowns (23) in 2025. However, those numbers aren't exactly stellar by NFL quarterbacking standards. Even though the Panthers backdoored their way into the postseason in 2025 as NFC South champions with an 8-9 record, Young's performance was up-and-down. He threw for the third-fewest passing yards by a quarterback to make the playoffs in the last 20 seasons, per CBS Sports Research. 

FEWEST PASSING YARDS BY QB TO REACH PLAYOFFS, LAST 20 SEASONS (MIN. 16 STARTS)	PASSING YARDS	PLAYOFF WINS
2012 Christian Ponder (MIN)	2,935	0
2008 Joe Flacco (BAL)	2,971	2
2025 Bryce Young (CAR)	3,011	0
2006 Steve McNair (BAL)	3,050	0
2019 Josh Allen (BUF)	3,089	0

Young did deliver some high highs, like when he threw for a franchise-record 448 yards passing in a Week 11 overtime win at the Atlanta Falcons and when he went toe-to-toe with Stafford in the playoffs in a 34-31 defeat. 

Kenny Pickett couldn't win the Cleveland Browns' quarterback competition a year ago, and Will Grier is a career backup. This is Young's team.

Week 1 starter: Bryce Young

In his 3rd season he barely edged out rookie Joe Flacco and 2nd year QB Christian Ponder.

Magnificent.

The plus side is it is entertaining watching the Tepper's and their planetary sized egos burn through millions trying and failing to make their version of the Panthers successful.

Brissett outperformed Bryce in only 12 games starting, Minshew is the equivalentof KP and Beck at least has possibilities unlike Grier. Interesting how Arizonas QB room is worse than our

[bandu]

what makes it so hard to be a Carolina Panthers fan is watching all these other NFL teams year after year  constantly make improvements or at least attempt to make improvents through the draft & or add legitimate upgrades in free agency to their Qb room.while all at the same time since drafting Bryce Young the Carolina Panthers refuse to draft or acquire any real competition at Qb

  unless you have a bonafide superstar at Qb you bring in competition every year until you do & or at the very least you want a legitimate plan B in case of an injury .the problem in Carolina is they know Bryce ayoung most likely could not actually win a real legitimate NFL Qb competition right now & if & when he did not win that aforesaid Qb competition it would not only be a major distraction but a setback to his overall development.& moreover once the fans realized they had a much better Qb on the roster it would be alot of public pressure to start the better Qb  ...just saying

^^^^ This.

Plus, even if you have a superstar, keep trying to find a 1B. One bad hit can end a career. Joe Theismann is a perfect example of this. Worst thing that can happen is a team trades for your backup if he shows out in a game or 2.
