Calling a guy a bust after one pre-season start......priceless.

Probably some homer UNC fans going out of their way to knit-pick a former Wolfpack product.

Don't think so that would be me and WOW! Heels fans anyways.

Evan Neal has looked bad:

At RIGHT tackle too.  Cross has had mixed reviews out of Seattle as well.  Rookie OTs typically have growing pains, it is not uncommon.

Once upon a time it was well understood that it takes time to develop players in the NFL.  Where did the common sense wisdom of such things go?

Plug and play draft picks are definitely a rarity.  Especially ones that we expect to be Pro Bowlers right away.  Can you imagine if the Colts deemed Manning a bust after he threw all his picks his rookie season?

Only two shitposters think Ickey is anywhere near a bust. It's no different than the comments section of a pro football talk article. This is not a new phenomenon.

There are maybe 1 or 2 positions that are somewhat "plug and play" coming out of college...LT ain't one of them.

There is a reason that DE's, QB's, and LT's make all that money....it's the hardest positions out there.

I have to admit, Ikem did not look great.  1QB hit and 2 sacks on just 19 snaps.  We're not talking about a few wrinkles here.  That's a lot of ground to cover with the season looming.
