In case you missed it, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young made an alarming, but pretty hilarious rookie mistake last night.
On a key third-and-3 spot in the fourth quarter of Monday’s eventual 20-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints, Young—who may have been processing a tad too much—lined up for the snap behind the wrong lineman. Instead of setting himself to center Bradley Bozeman, he stopped at the back of right guard Calvin Throckmorton.

The play resulted in a sack and, unsurprisingly, a bit of fun on Twitter . . .
Bryce started that play in shotgun behind the guard

Bryce lined up behind the guard? Is he seeing ghosts?

Bryce Young lined up over the guard on that last third-down play, having to get a shove from Sanders to get into correct position, then took a sack. Not a great sequence.

Rookies can’t be rookies anymore.
Bryce lined up behind the guard instead of the center (one time) & was corrected before the snap & ppl are saying he doesn’t have what it takes. After two games.
If you aren’t an automatic day one top 5 at your position, they tag you a bust.
