Passed the NFL Draft 2023 and with him first overall pick the Carolina Panthers selected Alabama QB and 2021 Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young. He will have the responsibility of taking the Charlotte franchise to the top once more and, in addition, breaking a bad streak that only Kyler Murray achieved (half).

In the 2002 NFL Draft pick 1 was David Carr with the Houston Texanson September 8 of the same year Texans would play his first game in the NFL hosting the Dallas Cowboys with a result of 10-19 for the locals. This match seems inconsequential, but it is very important, since from that meeting to this day, no QB selected with the first pick might win in his debut in the first week of each season.

He hasn’t won any more since 2002. it’s true, but Kyler Murray can say he dodged the losing streak. Exactly on September 8, but in 2019, the graduate of Oklahoma debuted before Detroit Lions. Everything indicated that was also going to be part of the “curse”since with 11 minutes remaining the Lions won 24-6, but in a flurry managed to tie the game 24-24 and in overtime one FG per side left the game 27-27.

NFL Draft 2009: Matt Stafford

Seven years passed for a QB selected in the global pick 1 to start in the first week of the campaign, the closest was Eli Manning who replaced Kurt Warner in 2004. Stafford, who 12 years later he would be champion with the Los Angeles Ramsdebuted on September 13, 2009 at the Louisiana Superdome in the loss of his Lions 27-45 once morest New Orleans Saints.

NFL Draft 2010: Sam Bradford

On September 12, 2010, Sam Bradford made his NFL debut once morest the Arizona Cardinals in what was a pretty bad match for him: He attempted 55 passes – at the time the fourth most attempted in history for a rookie –threw 3 interceptions and lost the home game 17-13.

NFL Draft 2011: Cam Newton

A year later, also once morest Arizona Cardinals, debuted Cam Newton. Although played much better than his predecessor on this list, and despite leading the game in the last quarter, might not avoid the defeat of his Carolina Panthers at home 21-28.
