CLEVELAND, Ohio — Browns head coach Todd Monken took questions from reporters on Wednesday from CrossCountry Mortgage Campus with regard to gearing up for the Carolina Panthers, Bryce Young, Deshaun Watson,

Bryce Young is in a crucial season of his career right now. The quarterback had his fifth-year option picked up, but he has not received a long-term extension. By all accounts, the Panthers‘ front office wants to see a little more from Young before they commit.

If Panthers QB Bryce Young still isn't owned in your fantasy leagues, you may want to change that through the waiver wire in Week 3.

A smart play by Bryce Young on the Panthers first drive of the game in Week 2 was thanks to preparation that started a year ago. It saved the drive and started the scoring for Carolina in a big win.

Bryce Young has finally turned into a franchise quarterback as well. On the flip side, Baker Mayfield has proven exactly why franchises are hesitant to pay every player their asking price.

Bryce Young and Jaxon Smith-Njigba each accounted for three touchdowns in Week 2, and Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski picked them as their Employees of the Week.

Bryce Young has 648 passing yards and six touchdowns through two games, but his fifth-year option gives Carolina time to wait.

The Panthers QB's previous trips to Mercedes-Benz Stadium should keep Falcons fans and coaches up at night.

Bryce Young, through two games, has the best deep ball in the NFL. He's outperforming Josh Allen by a hair for that crown, but he's also up there in company with Lamar Jackson, Trevor Lawrence, and Jalen Hurts. The kind of company a former number one overall pick expects to be in.
