Ickey is fuging garbage - the official thread™


Recommended Posts

He'll show you flashes and then poo the bed. Hard to say if he's a bust or just needs more time to develop.

People forget he was viewed as a very raw player coming into the draft. He played well as a rookie but not as good as many seem to think.

We shouldn't jump the gun with him but if he continues to struggle at tackle we need to move him inside in the offseason and sign or draft a true LT.

For the record, I was a Charles Cross fan in that draft and had him as the #1 tackle prospect specifically because he was a good pass protector.

You can have all the big "hog mollies" up front you want but if they can't protect the QB then it doesn't matter how well they are in other areas.

Having said that, Ickey would be an outstanding guard so I don't think all is lost if he doesn't turn it around and left tackle.

Move him to guard already and stop bullsh*tting around.

Christensen might be small but he can play the LT spot till we can draft a class LT who can play the position. He can't be any worse than what we are seeing from Ickey this year. We can hope it is 2nd year growing pains and his 3rd year will be better.

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
