I wish Icky were Jeff Otah.

He's having a very rough go of it. Though it is amusing that people who think our 22 year old #1 pick is a new staff away from being a franchise QB think this 23 year old kid is for sure damaged goods.

I think Icky will be fine. A better OC might help him but at worst he should make a great LG which he desperately need as well.

wilks and even mcadoo hid a lot of Ickey's issues. running the ball 30+ per game and also having a TE and/or RB on his side to help with chipping.

Reich/ Thomas Brown's playbook/playcalling involves leaving Ickey on an island from the shotgun on every 3rd and long

not once, do we ever see help protection or even a play-action called to help slow the pass rushers

Yep and for that, Campen can also go with the OC…i have no. Idea what they do in film review and game planning or self scouting 

…sadly, this issue with the two guards and lack of depth was extremely predictable before the season started with two guards coming off major injuries end of last season

Fitterer is a huge huge issue

Its that time to see draft predictions and what not. Icky is jeff otah 2.0,

Jaycee Horn is Jeff Otah 2.0.  That’s the real Otah comparison. 

Otah essentially walked on the field and was Pro Bowl caliber from the jump.  We just couldn’t keep him on the field. Icky being a better run blocker than pass protector doesn’t make him Otah.  Otah was a monster.

Jeff Otah was actually quite good. He didn’t get derailed by poor play, he got derailed by injuries.

That is not remotely an apples to apples comparison.

[CRA made this point before me.]

Otah’s comparison should be to Horn.  A good to very good player that can’t stay on the field…

We aren't winning poo next year and most likely the year after. Homers on twitter and some on here are hell bent on believing we are the right staff and like two players away and that bryce is mahomes 2.0. STOP IT. 

After the tepper tantrum, ben johnson gonna want 50 mil a year to come here. And he probably still isnt the right answer because of the the Nicoles. This team cant draft, especially wide receivers in the second. Theres a reason they didn't go in the first and we have NEVER had a staff to get these players right. Same with edge rushers. You take the best interior lineman. Hurney was good at firsts because hed take the best position player that wasnt needed by others. We got Luke because no one needed a linebacker. BPA BABY. Interior lineman arent drafted high. Hell we got kalil in the second. 

Tldr; we arent good, arent close, its gonna be a while, so a handul of late round draft swaps arent the answer. We aren't a 1000 yard receiver away, hell we got one of those.

poo on Jeff Otah all we want, but the dude was a dominant run blocker for us at RT for his prime.

As fans, we need to realize we are pretty much running the complete opposite scheme that we did last year and are asking a dominant run blocking tackle to be a finesse, West Coast pass blocking tackle... In no way is it Ickys fault this scheme sucks for him...

We either have to go to a more run focused, play action playbook on offense (this would immensely help Bryce in my opinion also) or force icky to play guard/trade him. It's honestly that simple

We're no where close. 

Our line that was a strength a year ago is a bigger embarrassment than David Tepper is to most of you. 

Our pass rushers outside of Burns are nothing but rotational guys. 

We need a new middle linebacker. 

We also need a bona-fide pass catching TE.

Along with a true speedster that can not only take the top off of defenses, but allow our other guys to flourish.  

I don't care how.many FA's we bring in. This is a long ways away from being able to add all these players. 

We really need another starting CB also.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      Strength of Schedule

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
