Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has expressed sympathy for Bryce Young’s situation after the former 2023 No. 1 overall pick was benched for the first two games of the season, with Andy Dalton starting for the Carolina Panthers, NFL Network reports. ( zbet911 )

zbet911s Mayfield, the former 2018 draft number one, was in a similar situation after the Cleveland Browns traded Deshaun Watson from the Houston Texans, before being traded to the Carolina Panthers and then the LA Rams, where he signed a one-year deal with the Buccaneers in the 2023 offseason, where he revived his career and was awarded a three-year, $115 million contract.  zbet911s

“Obviously my decision wasn’t made at the same time as Bryce, but quarterbacks are tough,” Mayfield said of Young’s situation. “Especially for young players, when you’re not surrounded by good pieces, you don’t have a chance to succeed. A lot of times players are talented, they may be smart, but they don’t get the right opportunities.” ( zbet911s )

‘I’m sitting here in a better shape than anywhere else I’ve been. I don’t mean to disrespect any team, but it’s about the pieces that you have, the coaches. For Bryce, I understand that feeling. It’s about finding that belief in yourself again. He’s going to make it.’ 

The question now is whether the Panthers will cut ties with Young or if they could trade him before the deadline, but Panthers coach Dave Canales is not considering that.

‘Absolutely,’ Canales said. ‘This is a development program. The development doesn’t stop. Every time he plays, we evaluate everything, we talk and we push all our players, including Bryce, to move forward. Every day is an opportunity and a possibility for growth, so we’re fully committed.’
