I'm more optimistic about Bryce after the last 2 games than I've been since before preseason. The switch to Thomas Brown will be huge in the long run, IMO. Still, until the OL improves and we get him some better receiving options the results are going to continue to be mixed. It's nice to see Bryce show his toughness by getting up time after time after taking these hits, but it's absolutely not something we can allow to continue happening if he's ever going to reach his full potential. As much as we need to upgrade the weapons around him, the OL needs to be the #1 priority, IMO. Whether it's the scheme or personnel something has to change.

Be careful what you wish for.

Chase Young is the Jaycee Horn of DEs.

Why do so many people care so much about what happens to coaches and players who leave here? I truly couldn't care less once they're no longer with the Panthers.

Montez Sweat traded to the Bears for a 2nd rounder. No chance we get a 1st for Burns.

Can you imagine if Miles Sanders would have jumped up and tried to catch that pass and ended up costing us the game? Charlotte would burn to the ground

The Eagles OL, apparently.

I'm not quite ready to give up on Ickey at LT just yet, but if he doesn't show significant improvement by the end of this season I think we have to consider LT a need and move him inside to guard.

At this point I'm over the debate. Either pay him what he wants or trade him. He's not going to take less and if we're not willing to pay his asking price then we can't afford to let him walk without getting something in return.

Game ball to Bryce on offense, Luvu on defense.

I was on the Cross bandwagon. Tried to tell y'all, but everyone wanted Ickey or Evan Neal.

Not kicking Ickey Ekwonu in the balls after the game was over.

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.

Good lord what a punt.

Can't win for losing.

Has there ever been a team where every starter on one side of the ball ended up on IR? If not, we could be on our way to being the first.

You have to have enough game tape that teams value you in a trade. Nobody wants to trade for a guy who has missed more games than he's played. He's just injury prone.

Of course just when YGM is starting to not play like hot garbage he gets injured.

Who cares? Plenty of heads need to roll around here without worrying about other teams.

This.

Route running. That's generally what separates the mediocre WRs from the good and the good from the great. Far too many wideouts try to out-athlete the defenders. That may work in college, but not in the NFL unless you're Tyreek Hill or something and have Olympic speed.

Who is Sam Howell?
