Quarterback Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers are off to a rocky start to the 2024 season.
They lost 47-10 on the road to the rival New Orleans Saints, as Young completed 13 of 30 passes for 161 yards and several interceptions.
Fox Sports analyst Jason McIntyre believes Young has a chance to end up like former first-round quarterback Josh Rosen, who appears to have flopped.
“Bryce Young, if he has another lousy game and keeps it up, he's going to be out of the NFL as fast as Josh Rosen… Josh Rosen's NFL career ended after 16 starts. No injuries, just really bad quarterback play,” McIntyre recently said on Fox Sports Radio.

To be fair, Young is only in his second season and is already under his second head coach, so there is no stability in Carolina yet.
Still, this is the NFL and this is a business.
Players need to go out there and produce, and Bryce Young didn't do that.
Young, a starter for the team, is 2-15 and has a career QBR of 33.4.
Despite being a former Heisman winner and former national champion at Alabama under Nick Saban, his game didn't quite fit the league.
If he ever hopes to become a franchise player, he'll have to find a way to be successful under rookie head coach Dave Canales.
But if he can't do that this season, maybe McIntyre is right in comparing him to Josh Rosen.
