Calm down. Let's just shoot for basic competency first.

They keep interviewing him, like he didn’t completely suck last year. All I want is him to keep his head down and his mouth shut and get his stuff together on his position. That’s all. Just do that.

Panthers need some good luck and having a legit LT would do wonders for all.

Lol to be fair most of the players sucked last year. Our defense was legit, but 2 of our top 3 defensive players are gone with Burns/Luvu.

let's start with just average & go from there because out of all the starting LT in the NFL last season Ickey was considered one of the worse at his position in pass blocking which is the one area you want to see your LT excel at moreso than run blocking ...just saying

Not looking like Byron Bell is a good place to start. Nowhere to go but up from there big fella.

 Looked like his head was swimming. To me.

They know he struggled and he seems to be getting special attention let’s hope they give him help in the games - I think he is gonna get speed rushed and lose the down more than we want.

Dude would have been replaced already if he wasn’t a 1st rounder.

Hopefully he got coaching in the offseason.

I bet he has his own coach.

While I agree, who else is there to interview outside of Moton and Brown that didn’t just join the team?
