Bryce Young expressed uncertainty about the Panthers' offensive changes for 2026, as offensive coordinator Brad Idzik takes over play-calling from head coach Dave Canales. Young remains confident in Idzik's abilities after a successful previous season.
Although he'll still have a familiar voice in his ear, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young seems unsure of how the newly-guided offense will flow in 2026.
Young spoke to reporters on Tuesday morning, as players continued to acclimate to the start of the offseason workout program. He was asked about the offense's shift in play-calling duties, which will see offensive coordinator Brad Idzik take the reins from head coach Dave Canales.
"I'm excited," Young replied. "I have all the confidence in the world in Brad. He's been huge for us during this whole staff's time here. It's been probably a little more behind-the-scenes from the outside looking in, but he's been a big reason for everything that's happened."
Idzik, this past season, played a part in bringing the Panthers their first NFC South title since 2015. He also had a hand in Young's best pro campaign to date—where he tossed for career-highs in completion percentage (63.6), yards (3,011), touchdowns (23) and passer rating (87.8).
Young will now work under his fourth different play-caller in as many seasons for Carolina—with Idzik joining the likes of former head coach Frank Reich, former offensive coordinator Thomas Brown and Canales. And with yet another change, the former No. 1 overall pick admitted that there's a bit of uncertainty to conquer.
"Honestly, when you get a new play-caller, you kinda never know," he later added. "When it's live and the balls are flying, you don't know what to expect. And I think I'm excited for that. I'm excited to see what his spin is, what his personal thumbprint on the game's gonna be, how he calls it."
Outside of preseason play, Idzik has no prior play-calling experience in the NFL.
