Given he is on his rookie contract and this year he has a new line coach, let's see how he progresses. At the cost of left tackles these days, he is worth more to keep him versus trading him away. 

i am not even sure Ickeys pass blocking issues/struggles are coachable at this point & not more of a physically unable to perform situation

Let's be real, with proper training you can increase lateral speed, strength and balance so it isn't physical inability. His measurables were pretty good I recall. It is likely mental which can improve with repetition and practice. Truth is he might be another one who needs to do some pine time to observe and learn by watching instead of doing. Might make him hungrier to excel.

well like I have said before I think we should start Brady Christensen at LT until Ickey has more time to develop.in best case scenario for Ickey right now is that he could play RT for at least a year before transitiong to LT but with Moton of course that is not an option

Cracking this cold one open again since the ‘what do we do with Ickey’ conversation has again resurfaced. Some good commentary. 

I’ll temper some of the shade I may have thrown at him. I am trying to generate optimism in his progression to reliably pick up speed rushers like the big boys do.

Think of all the draft picks we could have if we just traded everyone on the team 

I think we would have to give up picks to unload this sh*t roster.

Nah, it will be more of a Panthers thing to be dismayed and entertained watching him do his version of the Ickey Shuffle out at left tackle for a while longer, sign him to a stupid value 2nd contract, or just let him walk and have nothing at left tackle and be over a barrel and take whatever turnstile we can find on the open market.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
