New-look Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales has a plan to fix Bryce Young. 

He said so during media availability at the NFL Scouting Combine, where Canales took a stand saying the sophomore-level signal caller wasn't in desperate need of fixing. 

"No plan to fix Bryce Young," Canales said. "I think for me, it's about building an offense that we can be proud of, something that is tough, something that is smart, that takes care of the football, number one. We've got to create more explosives, and then of course, we have to minimize damage with exotic pressures and things like that.

"So I think just elevating the whole group and really asking Bryce to just do his part."

Young wasn't exceptional during his rookie season. The Panthers finished with a 2-15 record and threw for 2,877 passing yards and just 11 touchdowns to 10 interceptions.

However, Canales feels like the perfect guy to get the most out of Young. He has helped resurrect Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith's career. He then ventured to Tampa Bay and rebuilt Baker Mayfield's status around the league. 

There are already places where Canales feels as though he can help Young achieve what the Panthers expected. 

"I really respect Bryce and the road that has taken him to here, and I want to be able to present something to him that's tangible, that's specific and says 'Hey, here's some things that we can really dive into and improve on, and here's things that you're doing great,'" Canales said. "So we'll have a great plan when he comes back to us in a couple of weeks."

Canales added: "We're not talking about a guy that there's a big fix for, really. You're looking at an accurate player, a really smart player, he's aware of what's happening, and we've got to build the whole thing around him, the whole offense around him, of something we can really say, 'This is our identity and our core.'"

For the Panthers to bounce back in 2024, it is all riding on Young playing like the No. 1 overall pick he is and Canales building an entire offensive system around his best attributes.
