Cam Newton is asked if Panthers should start Bryce Young or Andy Dalton

Who should quarterback the Carolina Panthers for the remainder of the 2024 season? Perhaps someone should ask the greatest quarterback in franchise history.

Well, someone did—as Cam Newton was tasked with choosing between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton on the latest offering from 4th & 1 with Cam Newton.

“The season’s a wash. You gotta get Bryce Young some reps,” Newton stated of the 1-7 Panthers. “But make sure they’re good reps. We need to really figure out what the [expletive] this kid can do. He’s not a rookie no more. We’re wastin’ time. This Bryce Young experiment is dwindling before our eyes.”

Young, who was benched at the beginning of Week 3, will be getting his second consecutive nod this weekend since returning to the starting lineup. His first, which ended in a 28-14 loss to the Denver Broncos last Sunday, saw him complete 24 of his 37 throws for 224 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.

Newton then questioned the Panthers, who traded away their leading receiver Diontae Johnson this past Tuesday.

“But in Bryce Young’s defense, who is he gonna throw the ball to?” he added. “Is the system in place for him to be successful?”

Young will probably also be without last year’s top receiver in Adam Thielen, who has been ruled as doubtful for the Week 9 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
