Icky should be offensive rookie of the year

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.

Playing the constant victim and being 100% ridiculous should get you a Huddle award. You have earned zero respect and will get it so maybe just ignore me and I'll keep ignoring you moving forward?

Another insult. Boy o Boy you are something ain't cha? How about you raise your level of posting above the gutter, and we'll play it from there?

If slater couldn't win it last year than an OT is never going to win it. Kenneth walker, Damion Peirce or Chris Olave will win.

I don't see him being ROY at all. I think he will be great down the road but he makes too many mistakes, commits too many penalties and gets beaten too often. There are rookie receivers for example who are much more deserving of the reward than he is at this point.

Yeah I know it’s a long shot but still excited about his play. It has dipped over the last two weeks but he has been injured I believe so idk if it’s the rookie wall or the injury but he is still already one of the best we have had at LT and it’s not even the end of his rookie year

Garrett Wilson could definitely be in the mix with a productive last 5 games. He seems to have built some good rapport with Mike White.

How much would his 5th year option increase if he won OROY?

I don't see any. Pro bowls can gets a different 5th year option amount in the new CBA, but not as an alternative. Link 

3. First rounders selected to the Pro Bowl on the original ballot in any of their first three seasons will receive a fifth-year salary equal to the transition tag of the player’s fourth year.

4. First rounders selected to the Pro Bowl on the original ballot in more than one of their first three seasons will receive a fifth-year salary equal to the franchise tag of the player’s fourth year.

So no, it has no value other than recognition. Given that Pickett is the favorite to win this year odds wise (Link) I would raise the question if it has any value beyond a participation trophy at this point. Edit: some reason that site just updated and Pickett is now 7th in odds.

To think Rhule wanted him to "earn" his spot and almost derailed him with his stupidity. 

[LinvilleGorge]

Not gonna happen. An OL isn't gonna win that award, period. An OL on a bad team sure as hell isn't going to win it. He looks like a core piece of this team's future. That's awesome. But he nor any other OL is gonna win OROY.

Between that, the mishandling of Christensen last year, and the non-development of a guy like TMJ that can be our legit WR2 all are searing indictments of his lack of coaching acumen and talent.  TMJ to me could absolutely be Moose 2.0.  The fact that he was languishing behind Robbie and Shi (and arguably even Higgins) is coaching malpractice.

That being said, the fact the we have Icky and Moton as bookend tackles, along with a solid interior with Christensen, Bozeman, and Corbett, means more than any one accolade.  Although Icky is worthy IMO of winning OROY.

This team really is a competent QB away from opening a window for contention.

It's not unreasonable to say the Panthers have arguably both the best offensive and defensive lines in the NFC South.  That is huge going forward over the next few years.
