Surprised he is still getting NFL paycheck. brings back back memories of the Gettleman Norman clusterf# and that bad bad draft.

And Julio Jones just doing whatever he wanted to do against that rag tag secondary of rookies and cast-offs. I swear he could've gone for 500+ yards that day if they really wanted to be dicks about it.

Jets get confirmation that Becton is gone for the year...

 

Before the Jets settled in on a CB and took Sauce Garner, most mock drafts had Ickey penciled in for the Jets.  Sucks for them and great for us that they decided to stick with Beckton.

Becton is a talented guy but everyone knew the weight would cause problems if he didn't get in better shape. He hasn't and it is.

Didn't get in better shape? Dude was 299 lbs of lean muscle mass at Louisville. Literally 17% BF at 360 lbs. So it's not because he's not in shape, it's just because he's a massive human being.

He was 300 pounds as a HS recruit.

He was 364 at the Combine.

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
