Whether Bryce Young’s second season as an NFL quarterback will be better than his first remains to be seen. But it will certainly be different.

Since their 2023 season ended with a 9-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Jan. 7, the Carolina Panthers overhauled their coaching staff, starting at the top.

The Panthers picked Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Dave Canales to take charge of Young’s development. He brought in Brad Idzik as offensive coordinator, although Canales will call the plays. Will Harriger is the new quarterbacks coach.

Idzik was the Buccaneers wide-receivers coach, and Harriger was a Dallas Cowboys offensive assistant last season.

“I feel like I’ve learned a lot, I feel like I’ve grown and I’m definitely confident,” Young said after arriving at the Fanatics Super Bowl party, “and that comes from being able to play with the team that I have, being able to learn on my teammates.

“Getting a new coaching staff, I’m excited to get to work with them, so, again, I feel like I’ve grown, I’ve learned, I’m excited to improve this offseason, get better at some things. I’m excited for Year 2.”

The 2021 Heisman Trophy winner at Alabama, Young joined the Panthers as the first selection in the 2023 NFL Draft. Young completed 315-of-527 passes for 2,877 yards with 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 16 games as the Carolina Panthers posted a 2-15 record. Young’s passing-efficiency rating of 73.7 was the worst in the NFL among the league’s regular quarterbacks. He also was sacked 62 times.

“It wasn’t the year we wanted to have last year,” Young said. “Some tough times, but you grow through that. I feel like as a team, we grew a lot closer through that and we’re all in that together and we’re all dedicated to turn that around, to improving, being better, so I’m excited for that journey.”

Young started the 2023 season with the head coach calling his plays. But after six games, Frank Reich turned over that duty to offensive coordinator Thomas Brown. Three games later, Reich took back the playcalling responsibility. But Brown was back on the job after two games because Reich got fired on Nov. 27, and special-teams coordinator Chris Tabor served as the interim head coach for the remaining six games.
