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).

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
