There is a name for the floppy stuff and it is caused by a fluffy, dry seed trench. The floppy ones will not get better. Your major concern with a replant is how many seeds will be coming up when it rains? Do you have a silage market? Might be more inclined to replant if you do have one.
It’s called rootless corn syndrome. It’s caused by poor development of the nodal roots. Causes are too shallow of planting depth and/or extremely dry conditions which prevent the nodal roots from developing.
The floppy ones can get better but they need rain ASAP to get the nodal roots growing.
