We're going to be missing him by week four when Stewart is on the sidelines with a bruised this or a sprained that. Williams always took the training camp and early season hits while Stewie kept a stationery bicycle from flying up in the air. I like Stewart, but he's always shown his best work at the end of the season when he's still fresh and and defenses have been beaten up a bit. Without Williams to carry much of the workload (running and blocking), Stewart is going to have a heck of a time making it through a full season. And while I've got a lot of hopes for Fozzy, he isn't as good as Williams by any stretch.

I expect him to hold on and get happily franchise tagged after this year. By my calculations, it should set him at about $19 million for that year, which is a king's ransom. After that he'll negotiate down to a more reasonable salary. It's not a bad gamble especially when a mobile quarterback starts looking at how hard keeping a job will be in the eighth and ninth years of his career. If he signs before the end of this season, he'll either be leaving money on the table or he'll be getting such a huge contract it'll break the team.
