Rookie tackles need to learn how to play in the NFL. Ickey has all the tools you want and has shown flashes.

Anyone that thinks Ickey is a bust has a room temperature IQ.

Some idiot, in their zest to dog out every single thing that Rhule and/or Fitterer does, was saying how we should've drafted Neal based on a couple of games, and insinuated that Ickey was indeed a bust. I forgot who it was, and we've had so much of that going on...

In fairness to Neal, though....he is also a rookie. Andrew Thomas got slammed his first season as being a bust and now he is one of the best LT's in the NFL.

I am more than willing to be patient with Ikey and especially if we can bring BC along beside him. Maybe in a couple of seasons we have that side shored up for a while.

All of the top tackles in this draft have had their crappy moments.  IMO Icky has had less issue than the others.  None of them are going to win any awards other than being on the rookie team. Thomas from Dallas might be one of them. 

Too many fans think that they should dominate every play.  Most forget that these rookies are going against the best edge rushers in the league.  Experience over ability.  Those rookies are going to get burned a couple of times.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
