Nick Saban Gets Candid on Bryce Young
Dalton took over as quarterback of the Panthers earlier this year, replacing 2023 first-overall pick Bryce Young. Young may have had a dismal start to the year, but some felt that the Panthers quarterback was not given a fair shot to succeed, being benched just two games into his sophomore season. One of those people was Young's college coach, Nick Saban who argued whether or not Young was given the tools to succeed in Carolina.
"Do they have the type of players around Bryce Young to even give him a chance to be successful," the Hall of Fame coach questioned. "That's one of the bad things about being the first guy picked in a draft. You may go to a team that doesn't have all the pieces that you need."
Saban also noted that it was tough seeing his former quarterback being moved to QB2.
" [The Panthers] have to build this thing from the ground up. I hate to see Bryce get benched. But I also don't see a lot of opportunity for him to be successful based on the skill players they have around him, the offensive line they around him."
Following the incident involving Dalton, Young may get another chance to redeem himself in the coming weeks.
