Until Ickey refines his technique and learns to be less aggressive pass blocking.... This is a fine line.... It doesn't make him a bust he's still the LT of the future... and an all pro guard this season.

I’m not ready to anoint him an All-Pro guard this year. What I am confident in is he will be serviceable there which is an upgrade from last year.

All braun, no feet. Bust

Wayyyyy to early to say that. He is a rookie and it's the preseason. Give it at least a little time. It's comparable to at every job you have ever had have you came in the first or second day and been the company MVP? At least give him time to settle in and learn a little bit. When it all clicks so should the feet as he stops thinking as much and begins to react on instinct. That fact that he has ridiculous braun is just an added bonus. If he has problems like that consistently a couple years from now then I would say okay there's an issue but so early to make that assumption just yet I believe.

Yeah the “homers” dictated who we drafted. Icky will be fine. This is why preseason exists. To develop and scout players in actual games. 

Just like Vernon Butler or Derek Brown, right?

Panthers made a mistake drafting him to play LT. Plug him in at guard and be done with it. Front office just needs to own their mistake for drafting an NFL guard #6 overall.

The Panthers are loaded with over valued 1st round picks.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
