Carolina Panthers fans managed to find some optimism for the first season with head coach Dave Canales at the helm. It only took one week for most of that confidence to be eroded, and a second disastrous week only served to reinforce the pessimism among fans. With all that going on, Canales decided to make a change at quarterback, sending the media world into a frenzy. While there was a wide range of opinions on the decision from national pundits, Panthers fans are nearly unanimous in their belief that it was the right decision.

90% of Panthers fans think it was the right decision to bench Bryce Young. Among the few who thought the team should sit it out with Young were some voters who still thought Dalton would play better.

Despite the support for the head coach’s decision to bench the quarterback, fans remain unconvinced about the direction of the franchise. It’s an understandable position. The team was the laughingstock of the NFL last year and has fared even worse in the first two games of this season.

Only 33% of fans have confidence in the direction the team is going, but that’s up 16% from last week. Progress, baby!
