It would be safe to assume Bryce Young's first weeks in the NFL have been underwhelming. 

The former Alabama quarterback was billed as the best signal-caller in the draft. But through the first three weeks of the NFL regular season, that mantel appears to be owned by Houston Texans rookie CJ Stroud. 

But for the Carolina Panthers, it isn't all bad with Young. Recently, ESPN asked NFL executives to analyze all three rookie quarterbacks: Anthony Richardson, Stround, and Young. ESPN found that, though Young struggled, aspects of his game are still redeemable.

"You see intangibles come to the surface," an NFC exec said. "He's got a great feel for the game, and his quick release translates to the NFL game. His ability to throw off-platform will help him." The evaluator noted a 15-yard throw to DJ Chark Jr. in Week 2 versus the New Orleans Saints, with Young floating to his left and turning his hips quickly to deliver the ball between two defenders over the middle. These are the plays he can make — with enough help around him.

But, it hasn't been all smooth sailing for Young either. 

"He has nowhere to throw the football," an NFL personnel official said. "He's got major leaks around him and is in for a long year if the things working against him don't get fixed."

Lastly, Young's lack of mobility has shocked NFL executives following his transition from Alabama to the NFL. 

"Just because you're mobile at the college level doesn't mean you're mobile at NFL level," an NFC exec said. "[Young] can't turn the corner on a defensive end."

So, like most of the analysis on Young after the first three weeks of NFL action, NFL executives aren't exactly sure what to make of him. 

He has the intangibles, but he has yet to have the game that shows he can be a star in an NFL offense. In the ESPN article, Young earned a "C" grade. 

"Young is going through something he never has in his life — losing," an AFC scout personnel evaluator said. "Love his demeanor, though. He'll be fine."

Stroud walked away with an "A-," and Richardson claimed a "B" grade. 

Panthers called more deep throws for Dalton, Frank Reich assures no slight to Bryce Young

The evidence is in, the Carolina Panthers offense had more life with Andy Dalton under center.
