Panthers building momentum, but will Bryce Young start again? - ESPN

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young chuckled after Sunday's 20-17 overtime victory over the New York Giants in Munich when asked how many German words he'd learned over the past several days.

«Maybe one or two,'' the No. 1 pick of the 2023 draft said bashfully. „I tried my best. I still have a long way to go.''

Young still has a long way to go before becoming the franchise quarterback the Panthers (3-7) thought he could be when they traded two first-round picks and receiver DJ Moore to the Chicago Bears for the right to draft the 2021 Heisman Trophy winner.

Coach Dave Canales wouldn't say whether Young will start against the Kansas City Chiefs following their bye next week after the quarterback helped the team end a streak of 700 days between consecutive wins.

• Shuffleboard: new Chargers pastime
• Texans have to correct struggles
• Bucs' Otton picking up where TEs left off
• Time for Vikings' Turner to play more?

But, the first-year coach added, “Certainly, Bryce made a great statement for himself.''

A lot of Carolina players made statements at Allianz Stadium.

Running back Chuba Hubbard provided at least a short-term reward for his four-year, $33 million extension Friday, posting a career-high 153 yards rushing and a career-high 103 yards after initial contact.

The offensive line, which was rebuilt during the offseason to give Young a chance to succeed, gave up a single sack and paved the way for 188 rushing yards.

Rookie Ja'Tavian Sanders, selected in the fourth round to give Young a legitimate big target at tight end, had his first touchdown catch.

The much-maligned defense had two interceptions (after having none since Week 4) and recovered a fumble on the first play
