He's like Derrick Brown strength at left tackle, we got a good one. Was so happy about that draft pick when it happened. 

I had the same thought, he loves to run along for the ride....for now on its something Im going to looking for. Most OLmen are about to red-line after 3 seconds, Not Ickey hes got a young mans 300 gallon diesel tank!!

One thing these LBs hate is getting the "tossed out the club" treatment.....film studies are brutal....

Icky was straight up awful the first couple of games and has flipped the switch. Honestly was worried we’d have to move him to guard.

Why?? youre a old school poster and should known hes a green rookie. Honestly this stuff is starting to piss me off, its taking some rookies 3 years before they find their barrings. You should know this. Why are the expectations for him so insanely high?? Panther got a recent example of this tossing fools around on the DL and others in history as well...

Because he was the #6 pick of the draft and we knew he had issues in pass pro. His strength is run blocking. And he was fuging awful. Like not just rookie green bad.  I never said icky needs to be moved to gaurd permanently but that it might be best for him to move to guard for the year and then try again at LT next year.

I'm not even kidding, I actually shed a little tear watching those highlights. It just hits deep because we all had to sit through the days of Byron Bell, Matt Khalil, Remmers, Chris Clark, and Erving 😰 WE ACTUALLY HAVE A LEGIT O-LINE AFTER ASKING FOR IT FOR NEARLY A DECADE!!!!!!

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.

      Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.

      I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
