Icky should be offensive rookie of the year

He should be in the conversation.  I don't think he should win it.

Neither of those statements change the fact that the guy looks like exactly what we needed.  This sort of trajectory and we could have our next Jordan Gross.  Having that position looking solid changes SO MUCH about our offseason.

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.

 

Thanks! I knew pro bowls played a role, but I’m surprised winning an award like ROY doesn’t.

Jordan Gross is a good comp, although I think Icky can be more dominant in the run game.  That's not a slight on Jordan Gross, just that Icky can be an elite LT in both pass protection & run blocking.  Gross was elite in pass protection and average to above average in run blocking (him and Travelle Wharton were great together).

The fact we can even make that comp is welcome news after floundering for almost a decade to replace Gross.

It's hard not to think what could have been with Cam & Luke had we been able to have even an adequate Oline for their careers here.  I feel like at least one SB win.  

Oh well, all we can do is look to the future, and for the first time in many, many years, the offensive line is becoming a strength and not a liability.

Yeah it just changed in 2020.

IDK, the pro-bowl has fan engagement involved (maybe 2/3rds?) and the AP 50 person panel decides the individual awards. Maybe customer involvement gives it more credence then a faceless panel of 'experts' to the player's union? 

I don't pay attention to either anymore personally, just jaded from the NFL's marketing bs and not winning for so long.

saw something similar on twitter a couple of days ago...

first game of the season, rookie LT going against Myles Garret, former first overall pick, gave up 2 sacks.

second game of the season, gave up 1 sack.

And that was it.  Nothing since then.  The whole time his run blocking has been what was expected, and that was excellent.   Maybe it was our OL coach, maybe he just needed a couple of games to get the feel of the NFL, but either way, yes, we found a stud left tackle.  After all these years, we got one.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
