Panthers QB Bryce Young set up for failure in return under center without his top 2 WRs

After a disappointing 2022 season, Panthers fans were excited to see what Bryce Young could do as the team's starting quarterback in 2023. Unfortunately, Young's return under center has been anything but smooth sailing.

Through the first three games of the season, the Panthers have lost all three games and Young has thrown for just two touchdowns and four interceptions. One of the biggest reasons for Young's struggles has been the absence of his top two wide receivers, DJ Moore and Robbie Anderson.

Moore is currently out with a hamstring injury, while Anderson was traded to the Arizona Cardinals in the offseason. Without these two playmakers, Young has been forced to rely on a group of inexperienced receivers who have struggled to get open and make plays.

As a result, the Panthers offense has been one of the worst in the NFL this season. They rank 31st in points per game and 30th in total yards per game. Young has also been sacked 12 times, which is tied for the most in the NFL.

It's clear that the Panthers need to find a way to get Young more help in the passing game. If they can't, it's going to be a long and frustrating season for the young quarterback.

Conclusion

The Panthers' decision to trade Robbie Anderson and the injury to DJ Moore has left Bryce Young without his top two wide receivers. This has had a significant impact on Young's performance and the Panthers' offense as a whole. Unless the Panthers can find a way to get Young more help in the passing game, it's going to be a long and difficult season for the team.
