who needs a franchise QB when you got Cayenne Peppa?
I think it is smart. I think Dalton doesn't even start week one, or maybe Bryce takes over by week 4. You need to make the young guy earn it, not just be handed the keys, especially with a veteran QB on the roster who has proven he can win in this league. Dalton is no where near the caliber player Young is, especially at this point in their respective careers, but you also want to see how hungry the young QB is to accept competition, rise to the occasion, work his butt off, learn the playbook and earn the starting QB position.MSN

I think the Panthers will figure out fairly quickly that Young is a better option than Dalton. You saw it last year with Dalton - He'll keep you in it just long enough to get your team to 6 wins, with another 4 or 5 games that could have been won if he could have made one or two more plays. Oh, and there is always an ugly loss or two in there. That's basically the Andy Dalton experience.
Physical limitations aside, Bryce Young strikes me as a guy that can play in the NFL right away. Whenever I watched Alabama (admittedly not a ton), he was always so smooth and so in control of the offense. He just seems like he has all the smarts and poise a young guy would need to come right in and be able to handled things.
