Alabama's PR checks no longer hitting. NYT says the jig is up


So yeah, it’s understandable why the Panthers feel a sense of desperation to make it work with Young. It’s why they invested in the offensive line and used back-to-back first-round picks on wide receivers. It’s why they hired Canales, who has done nice work in the past with quarterbacks Geno Smith and Mayfield.

Young should have enough runway to at least attempt to turn it around. Veteran Andy Dalton, who turns 38 next month, is the only other quarterback on the active roster, though Hendon Hooker is available on the practice squad. Suffice to say, the Panthers owe it to themselves to see it all the way through with Young.

[...]

But Young hasn’t kept it going. He’s completed only 60.4 percent of his passes for 753 yards, five touchdowns and three picks this season while also losing a couple of fumbles. Among qualified passers, Young ranks 30th in EPA/dropback, ahead of only Titans rookie Cam Ward, Browns veteran Joe Flacco and Bengals backup Jake Browning.

its almost closing time :blessed:

What do you do from here if you're the Bengals?

So much money poured into QB plus two WRs. Then when one gets injured it falls apart, or they stay healthy and blame the defense.

They've decided an awful job building there.

They could start by getting better at drafting to not be so dependent on one player.

They'd still have major issues even if one of those WRs are gone and is just a deflect at this point for how bad at drafting they've been outside of those guys.
