Warren Moon Not Buying Bryce Young Bust Talk, 'He's Going To Be A Really Good' QB
Warren Moon Not Buying Bryce Young Bust Talk ... 'He's Going To Be A Really Good Quarterback'
Carolina Panthers fans need to take a deep breath and relax ... because despite the rough rookie season for Bryce Young, Warren Moon tells TMZ Sports he's not ready to call the QB a bust just yet.
In fact, the Hall of Famer said earlier this week he still believes the former Heisman Trophy winner is "going to be a really good quarterback in this league."
"I'm still optimistic," the ex-signal-caller said.
Moon, though, did say Young's future will almost certainly hinge on whether or not Carolina's front office can improve the talent around him.
"They do not have a really good offense," Moon said. "He doesn't have a lot of weapons to work with on the outside, his offensive line is very average, and he's a smaller guy so he needs a little bit more protection."
Through his first 13 games, Young has thrown nine interceptions to just nine touchdowns. His quarterback rating, meanwhile, is a mere 72.2.

Still, Moon tells us "as long as he hasn't lost his confidence, I think he'll be fine going into next year" if the Panthers' roster improves.
Moon also talked to us about the quarterback situation in New York -- saying that while he's been a fan of Tommy DeVito, he thinks the money that the Giants are paying Daniel Jones will mean the G-Men will "give Daniel Jones every opportunity to be the starter."
