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

      Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those.

      This is the right move even if you think Bryce isn't the future. Everything except signing him to a long term deal until proven otherwise. There's a decent chance we have a shot to draft a QB next year that we like.

      If we're still bad enough that Canales gets fired, especially if it's during the season, there is no way we could ever attract any HC worthy of the job if we told them they had to keep Bryce their first year. That would be 2 coaches he's gotten fired and 4 years of not performing up to par. I still say replace both of them next offseason.  I like Canales the man and I think he's done an absolutely outstanding job at fixing our locker room issues, as it was really bad before he showed up.  But I just don't see it from him with his in game decision making, I think he's held us back just as much as Bryce has, just in different ways. Canales was our Dan Campbell, the coach you hire to turn the franchises culture around for the HC after them to inherit and take to the next level.   The difference was he had some elite coordinators early on and really let him focus on his "leader of men" role as opposed to the X's and O's that Canales does himself and it's turned out well for him.
