I think Icky is 24 or 25 years old. Think about that, he's had 4 full years in the NFL and only 25 years old. Heres a fact- Its harder to find good LTs than good QBs. Im not a big fan of his, at worst he's average among LTs. You have to pay him the going rate if not more cause you already got 4 years on one hell of a bargain. Panthers have invested 4 years and can not allow him good/great/average pass pro to walk. Heres another deal, the best LT is Trent williams and he is 37 years old. Id 100% take Icky over him right now, all based on age. Toss another comment, love it or hate it he's very similar in ways to Dbrown who's sorta "sucks"(borrowing Icky haters words) at pass rushing, while being great at run defense. Icky great at run and "sucks"(BS he's average or better) at pass protection. Just like dbrown there's no off-field non-sense and Panthers paid Dbrown. They should do the same with Icky.

The main deal with Prince is, how will pads affect his type of play?? Just like I feel pads will greatly help Nic scourton, I feel they will hurt Prince "practice" play dominance. My deal is after years of straight up weak ass players playing soft, I more than welcome this confidence. He just needs to beware that its a thin line to cockiness and that's what you DO NOT want. I hope he does "break teppers pockets" in 3-4 years, I low key loved that line to the owner of ALL people....plus the fact its David Tepper the only 100% owner......I hope he's as good as he thinks he is..... This is similar to hornets drafting all those gym rats, full effort rookies...... Panthers do have a loser mentality same as hornets. New blood can help change that, by the looks of everything....... Panthers have some rookies that are not going to fall in line with the loser sink of the past 6 years. I mean nearly everyone UDFAs, 2025 drafted class, and free agent class that's one hell of culture adjustment.

"spiderman Light" I miss the boat with Brano. I thought at worst he would be a ST ace. I had him as the top backup that gets 8 sacks. (in a minor defense, he was a gunner on ST a few times). Think like Al Wallace or Mario Addison, he just didn't have the drive or talent it seems. He's been injured for 2 years now and was "hurt" during the OTAs, mini camp......Panthers honestly kept him much longer than they should. Maybe he will realize the NFL is not a rehab facility. 6th rounders do have less success than UDFAs.

this is what I feel about pff, they have no clue on each players responsibilities. Or if the coach told them to freelance on a certain play call, or if a player checks out of zone pre-snap. They just do not know and judging/grading on what you do not know is __________ .

ive been meaning to do this for weeks, glad ice did instead. looks much better and 10x word usage/grammar

great observation and comment.

I member Charles Johnson meeting Frank and he didn't have ANY idea who he was. Charles called the exchange weird and said he got weak vibes from Frank....

99% "shows" and "movies" they been putting out since the end game are not worth pirating. They are putting the too big to fail saying to a test. Losing 100 million after 100 mill hasn't stop them either. The public will watch any and all slop if nostalgia is at the Forefront.

It's not just buying it, its also ruining the IP into the ground and milking it until the cow is bones and keep doing it. God dam I haven't watch anything star wars in 20 years, I think the clone war cartoon was it. Shocked Darth Vader and the alien haven't married each other as another lead show idea

Noticing a pattern here.....

ugh..... Joe.....Joe person has improved since he left the observer. He's still one of the worst question askers and I can not stand his voice over 15 mins. But writing-wise he improved greatly....

College is different. You do not touch the money. QB is the top money. https://www.tiktok.com/@thericheisenshow/video/7503597686759787822 Jared verse had problems adjusting to NFL, btw holy lee fug.......I didn't think you lose a all-world 99 monster and get another one that fast???

Panthers have 30th best LB corp. Lose the best player and play caller. Part of the Huddle- " You guys are upset over losing Jewell?? " What the fug is this about?? No the season isnt off, but re-read the first couple lines until its understood. I think the total starts for the whole group is around 30, all of them came last year during the weeks where Panthers were on the 4th string LB and signed windom off Steelers PS. Baze the current play caller was a career STer and got a break last year at the bright age of 28. He started 12 games for the first time. Wallace started 8 before he got injuries. It's the worst LB group and a huge test to the "LBs don't matter, so don't pay them" What happens if Wallace or Baze miss time due to injuries like they did last year. UDFA Bam is the savior?? Lions are meeting with LB white, they also had LB problems....

Jags are another team Jags did not pick up lloyds 5th year option and he's played great. Muma was Panthers 3rd sent in the CJ Henderson trade, he's deep on the bench. They have others too. I still say ja'whaun bentley is the best option for FA, he's fully healthy too. Former captain and only 29 and fresh from the break in action. He shouldn't be pricey either, he was set to make 4.25mill. Much less than that is Ava...

One team to look for- Pats Believe it or not, they have a deep LB unit and new coaching staff vrabel. Vrabel signed a few LBs and runs a different system. ja'whaun bentley is deserves a good long look at. He torn a pec week 2 2024. This is the best answer- ja'whaun bentley

They also been inconsistent and overall losing record, I think before tepper bought the team. iggles signed zack baun to 3.5 million one year before he became All-world this past season. Besides this isn't the free agency period, there's no help out there to spend millions on. Even the trade market is buns. Omar Speights was a UDFA LB that got 500 snaps last year, he played for the Rams fyi... Panthers now have the worst LB group in the NFL, I now clearly think that.

Seems like teams are giving the RB treatment to LBs. Rams gave away a great young LB last year- " Los Angeles Rams traded their starting linebacker, Ernest Jones IV, to the Tennessee Titans. The Rams received a 2026 fifth-round draft pick in exchange for Jones and a 2026 sixth-round pick. Jones was in the final year of his rookie contract and was seeking an extension, but the Rams were unable to agree on a deal, leading to the trade. " Titans traded him to the Seahawks, rams rival and I think they ended up re-signing him. Evero came from there and mimics many of the same beliefs. I've said this too many times, you can not pay everyone. Panthers signed the Rams top tackler for near vet min.... DL can help cover up LBs weakness, but this is one huge cover-up.... Still, Jewell was the top dog holding this group above water. Now Panthers need a surprise hero from the group you listed. Prepare thyself, incoming threads about any LBs are in bound.

Need a sleeper on-roster LB hero to re-ignite the hype. Yea they signed a guy named Bam, Bam sounds like a LB name right??

Damone Clark from Dallas is another trade target.

White- PFF Coverage Grade: 32.0 (174th out of 189 LBs)

I overlooked him, yea this guy has produced every stop he's been at for the last few years. 29 years old, unlike the 33-34 names unsigned. Anyone have his PFF coverage grade?? Pro Football Focus (PFF) also gave him a 48.8 overall grade for the season, placing him 156th out of 189 qualified linebackers...... sounds like a panther to me!!111!! still like to see his coverage grade..........I hope there's a sleeper LB already on the roster...

Terrible news all around. Concussion demon takes another panther- Luke, oher, and now jewell. Panthers seemed to want to re-do the contract and Jewell didn't want too, that's a sign that he's retired for good. I've already arm-chair GM this, its bad. Just nothing on the market, not even a Cloweny-like cut waiting for the right team. Trade wise, another big bad. Jags may have two- former 1st round Lloyd . Member the CJ Henderson trade, Panthers sent a 3rd- Chad Muma was used on that pick. He's done near nothing, but listed as LB and he's in the last year of deal. Jags drafted two MLBs this yr. Drew Sanders from broncos former 3rd coming off a torn ach......ugh he's young! Channing Tindall of the phins, another 3rd rounder in the final year without doing much.. Brian Asamoah of the Viking, 3rd rounder in the final year without doing much....... Cuts seemed to be the best path, by far. I don't know if Dan should trade swap 6th for one of those 3rd round duds and a 7th. Panthers are going to need a huge surprise from Bam Martin, windom(statered some last yr), or the other UDFA Nomura. That's the best hope right now, someone on the current roster shows up and shocks everyone while they take over a starting MLB job.

Icky will get the same if not more...........

Thanks for keeping us up-2-date on the ALL the Panthers news like you always have in past years!
