Perhaps only Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales knows the method behind his madness in not committing to Bryce Young as the team's starting quarterback. But an author could do better.

“Yes, we will take all the information and let you know.” on Monday when asked if he was ready to name a starting quarterback for Week 12. “Luckily we have some time to think about the whole thing.”
The Panthers will emerge from the bye this week and face the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, November 24th.
