Certainly the situation with Icky is the complete opposite of ideal. In a perfect world we would all love to have a very promising young Tackle on the roster to develop or even a wily veteran. But reality isn't that cut and dry. We have the highest amount of salary cap dedicated to the OL in the league. We had a bottom 5 passing offense last year. And to be abundantly clear. I am one who was fully on board with diverting assets more to the offense to change gears so to speak. The FO seemed to agree. I would hope wise fans who have seen the highs and lows of this franchise going back 25 years or more would agree that was a miscalculation. Although the years before Tepper were up and down we had generational talent on our defenses and that pushed us over the hump a few times. We need to get back to that and begin building a ferocious defense again. And we also need to just make some basic and realistic observations. We invested a King's ransom in Bryce Young. He does not and will not have elite pieces across every position along the offense especially with us now picking up his option and having many needs. Cam Newton had this franchise competing for the division and playoffs with the likes of Byron Bell and Nate Chandler at opposite ends of the oline. And that was when the NFC South was much more competitive. -

Ick. Not a fan of that mock. -
The guy is still recovering from a major, major injury. He's a locker room cancer. He's over 30. He sometimes requires the team ownership to intervene with local police over stupid poo. He's going to cost $20 million a year of salary cap with diminishing returns. Let's just let this one limp on by.
