Quarterback Young’s Emotional Outburst
Despite the countless losses for the Carolina Panthers this season, quarterback Young has remained stoic. However, during the team’s previous drive, Young couldn’t contain his emotions on the sideline. As the CBS sideline reporter described, he was seen screaming multiple times after the drive stalled in the second quarter. Frustrated with what he saw on the Microsoft tablet, Young slammed it to the ground, unleashing another scream. Yet, in true form, Young took accountability for the team’s performance, patting his chest to indicate that the blame was on him for the drive’s outcome.
A Disappointing Performance
Young’s emotional outburst couldn’t turn the tide for the Panthers. He finished the game with 19 of 32 completions, totaling just 112 yards. There were no touchdowns to be celebrated, only one interception thrown. The Panthers as a whole struggled to generate offense, mustering a mere 124 total yards throughout the game.
Owner David Tepper’s Frustrations Overflow
Quarterback Young wasn’t alone in showing frustration. Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper was caught on camera tossing a drink from his suite during the team’s loss. The visual display of his disappointment mirrored the sentiment of fans and players alike, as the Panthers continue to struggle in this forgettable season.
A Season to Forget
The Week 17 matchup for the Panthers served as a reminder that the end of this disappointing season is near. With just one game left, the Panthers will be eager to put this forgettable chapter behind them as quickly as possible.
