Bryce Young earned the third win of his NFL career. Despite the Panthers not committing to him, one NFL insider demands that they do.

Bryce Young got to kneel out a win for the first time in his NFL career. The second-year quarterback returned from the bench to lead the Carolina Panthers to a win in his second start back, but the coaching staff hasn't cemented him as the starter. One NFL insider believes they have to do that moving forward.

NFL analyst calls for Bryce Young to start again

This was the first game-winning TD drive of Bryce Young's career.

But it was his third quarter exchange with Dave Canales that may have turned the tide.

Now, Canales should let Young build on it, writes @josephperson.

Dave Canales refused to say Bryce Young would start for the Panthers moving forward. He said the team needs to analyze the film and make a decision when Andy Dalton is fully healthy, but it would be a surprise if the team opted to sit Young down again.

Reporter Joe Person, who covers the Panthers for the Athletic, demanded that they keep rolling with Young. The second-year quarterback had one of his best days as a pro, throwing a touchdown, another that was dropped, and otherwise executing virtually all day.

Person wrote, "The next conversation between Canales and Young should be the first-year coach telling his quarterback he has earned another start and will get the ball next week against the New York Giants in Munich."

Person also pointed to a sideline conversation after three failed screen passes as a moment that may be looked back on as a turning point. From then on, the offense was better, and it showed a moment where Young appeared to take charge for once.
