QB stats under Panthers HC Dave Canales since 2018

On Thursday, the Carolina Panthers officially hired Dave Canales as their new head coach. And as their new head coach, his greatest task will be getting the most out of soon-to-be second-year quarterback Bryce Young.

So, can he?

Well, if his past work is any indication, Young is going to have a lot more fun than he did in his rookie campaign.

Whether he was a quarterbacks coach, a passing game coordinator or an offensive coordinator, here’s what Canales helped produce from his team’s starters in the past six seasons:
