Young had a historically bad day, passing for only 84 yards to tie for the fourth fewest in team history for a quarterback with at least 25 pass attempts.
He became the third player in the past 20 seasons to average 4 or fewer yards per dropback in four straight starts. He has three interceptions and no touchdowns in two starts this season.
Yet when first-year coach
Dave Canales was asked who would be his starter next week against the
Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium, he didn't hesitate.
"Bryce is our quarterback,'' said the coach who was hired to turn Young around. "We're going to continue to shore and fix the things we need to fundamentally, from a scheme standpoint, all those things.''
