The Panthers lost their sixth straight game on Sunday at the hand of the Dallas Cowboys. Quarterback Bryce Young had another rough performance, throwing for the fewest amount of yards (123) that he has so far this season. A big part of that was the pressure that he was under the entire day. The Cowboys sacked Young seven teams and registered 27 total pressures on the rookie quarterback in what was another embarrassing day for the Panthers offensive line.
One of the more confusing elements of the game was head coach Frank Reich’s decision to keep sending Young out on the field late in the game with the game already decided. Earlier today, Jim Szoke, one of the voices of the Panthers, joined the Mac & Bone Show and said that he would have understood a move to put him on the bench after the result was wasn’t in doubt. “At that point it’s just to give him a break, honestly, even if it is just a mental break. It’s got to be wearing on him.” On top of that, Szoke said it is also important for Andy Dalton to get reps in case something was to happen to Young.
