Let’s talk some Ickey at LT

Why would you do that? How does that help Iky get better at LT? We aren’t a playoff team keep him there. He’s not Slater but maybe he’s like Andrew Thomas. People left him for dead and he was really good after his rookie year.

It’s funny to see all the complaints in preseason about his lack of snaps with the first team (he never played G in preseason) and now I’ve seen multiple posts about moving him to G now to help him develop.

Keep him at LT and let him keep getting better there.

Wrong. That is how you develop him. Needs to learn the speed of the game. Remember Ryan Kalil didn’t play center his first year. He played guard. He isn’t ready for full time LT duty.

😂 Ok coach. How many of the recent T 1st rounders played guard year one and tackle year two? Exactly, you are talking out your ass. He’s played every snap in preseason and games at LT and you think we should switch him to LG and that will help? Great plan. He hasn’t even been awful by any stretch.

Also, you are wrong on Kalil anyway. He started only 3 games in 2007 and all 3 were at C. He didn’t play G his rookie year and then switch to C his second, he just only started 3 total games. You might be thinking Gross, but even he played T his rookie year, not G.

I am right here. I’m Tied in pretty close to college players that played oline and this is their consents as well. He isn’t ready but at LG he can learn pass pro while still playing close to his natural position.   After a year he can then slide over.

Even with the mistakes 10x better than Erving.. Baker had time today.. The Oline wasn't the problem the coaching is..

Wait what? You really think Baker had time today? Did we watch the same fuging game? Dude was running for his life damn near every play.

In hindsight, although a lot of those plays he made looked really goofy and sometimes didn't pan out, I think Daniel Jones handled those pressures 1000x better than Baker in that he evaded the pressure and then would try to reset to wait as long as possible for a receiver to come open; sometimes they didnt, and he ended up throwing something horrible or just throwing it away a the last second.  Whereas Baker would evade the pressure and immediately started up field on a scramble, almost every time.  Those 3 and 4 yard gains ultimately are inconsequential.  Jones had multiple big conversions off the same broken plays by waiting for a pass.  

But again, I'm going to believe part of this is still getting comfortable in the offense, but even more so, especially on the off-schedule plays, it's a lack of reps and chemistry with the receivers, imo.

Again, it’s Rhules fuging retarded QB contest in TC. God I cannot wait until he’s gone. Killing us at every single opportunity.

Rhule sucks but damn, Mayfield is a 5th year starting vet. His reaction to pressure has nothing to do with the QB contest. Same reason why Darnold was so likely to fail, hence a stupid trade by us. Mayfield isn’t. Some rookie. His overthrow of Smith when he was wide open had nothing to do with Rhule. He was just very inaccurate even with little pressure.

Mayfield/McCaffrey are the only reason these games have been close-ish. He is an average QB which is a major upgrade from what we have had the last two years.

Yes!! You obviously didn't watch this game.. Baker had more time then any Panthers QB had the last 5 years.. The Oline is better.  Playcalling and coaching isn't..

You’re cherry picking one play that even had the announcers questioning whether Smith fuged up or not. Baker has not been good. But he’s not had much help either.

Lol ok. They were all over his ass all game. I guess we need to wait to see what the tape says. Again. Baker was not good. But he had zero help either.

Him having more time than any QB in the last 5 years isn’t saying much. Our OL went from an F to a D-. Baker was running all over the place.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
