Just when you thought the year couldn’t get worse for Bryce Young, he is now finding out that a former flame has taken her talents to the NBA.
The Carolina Panthers quarterback now has to deal with life from the sidelines after his team benched him this week following another disastrous performance that dropped the team to 0-2.
Panthers head coach Dave Canales said he made the decision to bench Bryce Young after watching film of his performance from Week Two.
“This was something that after I watched the film, I looked at it, had a thought, started talking to the guys that we make decisions with,” Canales told reporters. “Certainly a lot of parties involved there. Ultimately this comes on me, and my No. 1 responsibility is to help the Panthers this win, and this move I believe puts us in the best chance to do that this week.”
To further kick dirt on him right now, his ex-girlfriend, Myra Gordon, seems to be in a relationship with Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey.
Both Gordon and Maxey were spotted at Lincoln Financial Field together at the Falcons-Eagles game this past Monday night.

Judging by the comments, she is dead set on ending up with an athlete.
“Her roster is crazyyy Shedeur Sanders, Bryce Young now Tyrese Maxey,” one person commented.
She is more than just Bryce Young’s ex-girlfriend. The athlete played basketball for Alabama before taking her talents to Pepperdine.

During the 2023-2024 season, she averaged 7.9 points per game while adding 3.6 rebounds, and 1.6 assists, per her stats on ESPN.
It was a tough year for Pepperdine, as they went 5-25 and finished 9th in the 2023-24 WCC Standings.
Bryce Young Is In Danger Of Being Labeled A Bust
The Carolina Panthers raised eyebrows across the NFL this week when they announced that they benched 2023 first-round pick Bryce Young for veteran Andy Dalton.
The former Alabama star looked like he had the potential to be a high-quality starter, but he has not shown that, throwing just 11 touchdowns in 18 games.
Two games into his second season, and nothing has gotten better. He did not throw a touchdown and had three interceptions.
Given the massive haul the Panthers gave to move up to No. 1 to get Young, this may be one of the biggest mistakes in franchise history.
