Speaking of the big news of the day, earlier today following the Carolina Panthers first day of training camp, head coach Frank Reich officially named Bryce Young as the starting quarterback. Tim and Dennis discuss what led to the decision, what this means for the Panthers' offense, and what to expect from Young in the upcoming season.
