There's been some good and a lot of really bad. Definitely having a sophomore slump. He's a good kid though. We'll see how he bounces back.

The constant rotation of rookie guards hasn't helped anyone, tackles and center all separated so you can't even have one stable side to rely on

He wouldn't have been drafted as a LT for this scheme. This team took a top 10 LT built for another scheme and then drafted a QB at #1 who can't play in his LTs scheme.

It's not rocket science and if you're just blaming Ickey then you are avoiding the other issues. This is what crap team building looks like. Wasted talent and killing value is the Panthers way now. Behold the splendor

The good news is that we don't have a first round pick to squander this year.  

And That really shows the impatience of Tepper at work. One more year, there are the QBs, lining up with your pick. No need to trade anything. 

 

I’ll say, if this place is representative of the opinions of the larger fan base, the fans are as guilty of it as Tepper. You are all getting what you wanted. Be happy.

He's had some good and some bad.  Just the bad seems to hit at the worst possible time...  I'm going to go with the sophomore slump.  I think Icky will be fine long term.  As others have said - having to deal with a revolving door of bad, young guard play has hampered his work.  It's almost as if he's having to play both positions.  In some of these plays, have you seen him look inside to see what's happening next to him before he tries to move out?

Icky has plenty to improve himself  He still get's beat far too often for a top five pick.  He's also trying to cover for bad play next to him.  Hopefully things can get to get better for him and the team after the bye (or burn it all to the ground - depending on your perspective around here).

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious.

      We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
