Panthers No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young beginning to show poise, moxie as rookie season winds down.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — 

The Carolina Panthers are beginning to see some of the poise and moxie they were hoping for this season out of No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young.

The rookie quarterback turned in his best game of the season on Christmas Eve, completing 23 of 36 passes for a career-high 312 yards and two touchdowns against the Green Bay Packers.

Although the Panthers lost 33-30 when they weren’t able to spike the ball at the Green Bay 31 before time expired, it was still a game where Young took a significant step forward.

He had not thrown for more than 250 yards in a game.

Young seemed to get more comfortable in the pocket as the game progressed, throwing two TD passes to DJ Chark in the fourth quarter to erase a 14-point deficit. He threw the ball precisely and without hesitation. a sign of growing confidence.

It was the second straight game Young showed some good stuff with the game on the line.

Against Atlanta, Young led the Panthers on a 90-yard drive over the final 7:35 to set up Eddy Pineiro’s winning field goal as time expired.

Interim head coach Chris Tabor said Young was in “complete control” on Sunday.
