wait ickey has been good this season?

[frankw]

There's been some good and a lot of really bad. Definitely having a sophomore slump. He's a good kid though. We'll see how he bounces back.

The constant rotation of rookie guards hasn't helped anyone, tackles and center all separated so you can't even have one stable side to rely on

He wouldn't have been drafted as a LT for this scheme. This team took a top 10 LT built for another scheme and then drafted a QB at #1 who can't play in his LTs scheme.

It's not rocket science and if you're just blaming Ickey then you are avoiding the other issues. This is what crap team building looks like. Wasted talent and killing value is the Panthers way now. Behold the splendor

The good news is that we don't have a first round pick to squander this year.

And That really shows the impatience of Tepper at work. One more year, there are the QBs, lining up with your pick. No need to trade anything. 

 

I’ll say, if this place is representative of the opinions of the larger fan base, the fans are as guilty of it as Tepper. You are all getting what you wanted. Be happy.

Not surprising some people not buying this, simply looking at numbers never tells the whole story the same simply looking at bryces numbers and stating he is playing well isnt correct.

He's had some good and some bad.  Just the bad seems to hit at the worst possible time...  I'm going to go with the sophomore slump.  I think Icky will be fine long term.  As others have said - having to deal with a revolving door of bad, young guard play has hampered his work.  It's almost as if he's having to play both positions.  In some of these plays, have you seen him look inside to see what's happening next to him before he tries to move out?

Icky has plenty to improve himself  He still get's beat far too often for a top five pick.  He's also trying to cover for bad play next to him.  Hopefully things can get to get better for him and the team after the bye (or burn it all to the ground - depending on your perspective around here).

Trying to remember.. I watched a replay that after about our 2nd or 3rd play, skipped the first drive and went to maybe the 1qtr 7:00.

First dropback, Ekwanu is driven straight back, overpowered, bam. Great freaking job.

He needs to play G I am afraid.

He's been up and down. I still think he'll be good long-term, but consistency has eluded him so far.

2 completely different blocking systems in 2 years for a pretty raw player is tough.
