There’s no question that Bryce Young has taken a leap in his development as a NFL. His teammates have noticed the change, media has noticed the change and fans have noticed the change. Along with the new Bryce has come a new moniker – The Carolina Reaper.
This new nickname wasn’t birthed overnight. Carolina fans have noticed a trend of opposing teams making major changes after losses to Bryce Young.
After a November 3rd loss to the Panthers, the New Orleans Saints fired head coach Dennis Allen, then the NY Giants benched starting quarterback Daniel Jones a week later after falling to Bryce Young-led Carolina.
Sunday the Panthers knocked the Cardinals out of the playoffs, officially solidifying the new nickname.
