Dan Orlovsky makes bold prediction about Panthers QB Bryce Young
"I would bet on Bryce Young this season..
I believe in Dave Canales and I love the addition of Tet McMillan..
This is a very good offensive line and I love the way Bryce Young bounced back last year"@danorlovsky7 #PMSLive pic.twitter.com/EG5A20fCV4 — Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) June 18, 2025
A former NFL quarterback is ready to bet on Bryce Young.
ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky joined this past Wednesday's episode of The Pat McAfee Show. When asked which young quarterback he thinks will make the biggest jump in 2025, he points to Young and the support system that the Carolina Panthers have surrounded him with.
Take a listen:
Despite some high hopes for his first season under first-year head coach and "quarterback whisperer" Dave Canales, Young got off to a miserable start in 2024. After throwing for 245 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions in a pair of blowout losses, the former No. 1 overall pick was benched for veteran Andy Dalton beginning in Week 3.
Young would get his second chance in Week 8, and he didn't look back. Over the final 10 games of the campaign, he totaled 2,327 yards, 20 touchdowns and six picks while leading the Panthers to four wins.
Carolina has since added more help for Young in the form of 6-foot-4, 219-pound Tetairoa McMillan, the eighth overall selection of the 2025 draft. They've also used the offseason to bring back their starting offensive line as well as few key depth pieces including Cade Mays and Brady Christensen.
So if continuity is key, then Young and the Panthers will probably make Orlovsky look awfully good by the end of the year.
