Icky should be offensive rookie of the year

It really doesn't matter. Him being a stud at LT does. Just celebrate Ickey and stop caring about popularity awards.

 

lol You may not care about our players getting recognition. However, there are a lot of us who truly enjoy it when our players win awards. It shows that we really do have some good players.

 

So, I suppose you don't care that in Pro Bowl voting Hekker is leading his position. Or that Burns is 4th among DE? I mean, what's the use of rooting for a player, if you don't enjoy the little things that go along with that?

Offensive linemen don't have exciting stats. So the only way he was going to stand out was if the team was doing well. Considering that he's pass blocking for Baker, Sam and PJ on a 4-8 team, he's got a better chance of winning the PowerBall.

Agree that we should just celebrate knowing that we have a LT for the future.

 Keep being a spaz. It probibly helps distracts from the hook in your mouth.  I said zero negatives about Ickey, very opposite. Probowl is a popularity contest and can be a joke. The fact it triggered you is just amusing. Same guy new name lol

I believe the momentum for this has wained over the last two games. If I am not mistaken his worst two games over the season were the last two games. I believe ickey is finally hitting the rookie wall.

 

That being said, it feels good to have a potentially elite LT again

100%. Ellis also mentioned that.

Either way we are lucky and should be excited moving forward. Year 2 is a big one with a full NFL offseason not full of all the draft stuff.

It wasn't about Ickey. I was about you telling others to, how'd you say it? "stop caring about popularity awards." Not sure if you know it, but that's not your call to make. 

 

I didn't say anything about Ickey. You might want to brush up on your comprehension skills.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
