Would you trade Ickey

Given he is on his rookie contract and this year he has a new line coach, let's see how he progresses. At the cost of left tackles these days, he is worth more to keep him versus trading him away. 

i am not even sure Ickeys pass blocking issues/struggles are coachable at this point & not more of a physically unable to perform situation

Let's be real, with proper training you can increase lateral speed, strength and balance so it isn't physical inability. His measurables were pretty good I recall. It is likely mental which can improve with repetition and practice. Truth is he might be another one who needs to do some pine time to observe and learn by watching instead of doing. Might make him hungrier to excel.

well like I have said before I think we should start Brady Christensen at LT until Ickey has more time to develop.in best case scenario for Ickey right now is that he could play RT for at least a year before transitiong to LT but with Moton of course that is not an option

Cracking this cold one open again since the ‘what do we do with Ickey’ conversation has again resurfaced. Some good commentary. 

I’ll temper some of the shade I may have thrown at him. I am trying to generate optimism in his progression to reliably pick up speed rushers like the big boys do.

Nah, it will be more of a Panthers thing to be dismayed and entertained watching him do his version of the Ickey Shuffle out at left tackle for a while longer, sign him to a stupid value 2nd contract, or just let him walk and have nothing at left tackle and be over a barrel and take whatever turnstile we can find on the open market.
