Ikem is terrible

I'm reserving judgement until next season.  He's been bad this year, no doubt, but is it him or the circumstances?  He was one of the best rookie offensive linemen last season, but the OL was stable and he had veteran QBs then.  Now he has a revolving door at LG next to him and a rookie QB with no pocket awareness.

He's trash dawg.  He was better hidden last year.  But the dude can't pass block to save his life. Gets manhandled by stronger dudes.  Not fast enough for the smaller guys.  He stinks.  Sooner we realize it the better off we'll be.  Or we better hope a coaching savant comes and fixes him up.

He doesn't fit the zone scheme at all. That said, he's never been a good pass blocker.

Reserving judgment until next season? Why do that?

How do you "hide" a LT?  Again, I'm am going to wait.  Not strong?  He's very strong, but I'll give you he's not a dancing bear.  Here's another reason for pause, one of the most respected OL coaches in the League is presiding over a train wreck.  Did Campen forget how to coach an OL?  Bozeman has looked bad this year too and while Moton is still good, is not quite up to his par level of play.

Because of last season.  One good year, one bad.  Recency bias is a real thing.  He's on a rookie deal. It would be a very Panther thing to do to flush a young, cheap LT because he's having a bad season on a historically bad team.

Just noticed your avatar, that explains a lot.... Interesting that you don't have such patience with our other young (no pun intended) players.

      https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2024/06/bruins-hurricanes-could-swap-linus-ullmark-and-martin-necas.html The Boston Bruins are continuing to garner more and more interest for their former Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender Linus Ullmark, giving them a chance to be picky about the return. That could exclude much of the league from acquiring the star netminder, with Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman sharing on The Jeff Marek Show that he doesn’t believe teams like the Vancouver Canucks or Montreal Canadiens have the assets to acquire Ullmark. Friedman added that the Carolina Hurricanes could be one of the few teams rich enough for the deal, especially if they involve forward Martin Necas. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/carolina-hurricanes Expect the Maple Leafs and Predators to be two of the top suitors for Hurricanes defenseman Brett Pesce if he hits the open market next month, The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta reports.

      Another Bryce breakdown

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      They do, just when. I hate to be pessimistic but it’s all about the QB. I can’t recall a QB situation where a bad QB (not bad stats, but looking like they don’t belong) turned a team around. Peyton Manning had a ridiculous amount of interceptions but he didn’t show his future limitations. Usually, it was picking another QB in the draft. Unfortunately, IMHO, we won’t be really better until we get our Cam v2, someone who can carry the team and not win only if we have a stud lineup around him. That’s why I’m more interested in how the rest of the draft picks do to see if we can actually solve holes like the ones we created losing Olsen, CMC, Moore, Turner/Kalil/Norwell, etc. I want to actually be one QB away not Fitterer’s definition of one player away.

      How to list & hopefully sell PSLs plus season tickets

      I will say once you have been in newer arenas and stadiums with their way better bathroom set-ups, it is such a massive improvement. It clears up a lot of insane lines just waiting around to piss.  I have taken to not drinking at all at older stadiums just so I don't have to deal with planning when to take a piss and what part of the game I am gonna be forced to miss because of it. It's so nice to be in a new arena/stadium with way better bathroom accessibility that doesn't force you to literally miss the game. Not to mention I will actually spend money on booze there then.
