Sometimes you strictly just have to let these guys grow.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Young&#8217;s numbers during his final 10 games were a significant improvement, completing 61.8% of his passes for 2,104 yards, 15 touchdowns, and six interceptions.His resurgence was capped off by a five-touchdown performance in a thrilling 44-38 overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons to close out the season.That game, where he threw three touchdown passes and ran for two more, cemented his role as Carolina&#8217;s quarterback of the future.<\/p>\n<p>Parsons&#8217; point about patience echoes the sentiment of many in the Panthers organization. Head coach Dave Canales&#8217; decision to bench Young early in the season allowed him to regroup, reevaluate, and return with a renewed sense of confidence.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u201cThis is the type of team (Panthers) you\u2019re going to be scared of, and they&#8217;re probably going to make a run next year.\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MicahhParsons11?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MicahhParsons11<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BleacherReport?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@BleacherReport<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bh9HBPu185\">pic.twitter.com\/bh9HBPu185<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Michael Bell (@avl_mike) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/avl_mike\/status\/1876767663944307001?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 7, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>Leadership and Confidence: The Bryce Young Carolina Needed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Parsons didn&#8217;t shy away from predicting that Young&#8217;s newfound confidence could elevate the Panthers in 2025.\u00a0<em>&#8220;This is the type of team that you&#8217;re going to be scared of going into next year.
