Podcast: Was Bryce Young benched too soon? Will Andy Dalton elevate Panthers?

Did the Carolina Panthers bench Bryce Young too soon?

Is Andy Dalton a solution?

Is the season still salvageable?

The Observer podcast that covers all things Panthers also previews the Raiders game in Week 3 and discusses the big risk coach Dave Canales took as head coach in making this quarterback decision.
