Where Did Panthers' Bryce Young Land in New NFL QB Rankings

The Carolina Panthers fell to 3-5 on the season with a tough loss at home against the Denver Broncos over the weekend.

Carolina got off to a slow start, but the team did rally to make the game more competitive against Denver. However, the Broncos were too much for the Panthers to overcome, sending the team to another loss.

The Panthers have now lost three straight games, with patience starting to wear thin around the organization. However, given how poor the rest of the NFC South is, Carolina remains in the thick of the division race at this time.

But for the Panthers, this team wants to put together strong performances, starting with quarterback Bryce Young. After a hot start to the season, Young has started to regress a little, with him cooling off on the field.

Against the Broncos, Young played well enough, throwing for 276 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. But it wasn't strong enough to help his team get the big win at home.

In a new quarterback ranking from NFL analyst Henry McKenna of Fox Sports, Young stood pat, staying at No. 16. Young was able to overcome the blitz against a tough Denver team, which could be a sign of things to come for Carolina.

Earlier this season, Young was playing well enough to receive some MVP buzz around the league, but that has since gone silent. Young has still put together a good season for Carolina, but the team does need more from him going forward.

For the year, Young has thrown for 2,197 yards with 16 touchdowns and six interceptions for the Panthers. But the veteran has to become more of a situational quarterback for Carolina, getting the team into position to win more.

As the year moves forward, the Panthers will be relying on Young to help get them back to the playoffs. Carolina made the playoffs a year ago, despite having a 8-9 record, and this could be the case again this eason.

Young will continue to use his strong wideouts and tight ends to his advantage, but the offense needs more of a spark. This team can be very good, and they've proven it from their play earlier this season.

Up next for Young and the Panthers is a tough game on the road against the New Orleans Saints. The two teams are both 3-5 on the year, giving the contest even more importance for the Panthers to get the win.
