Interesting Jonathan Stewart rushing stats

As much as I love Jonathan Stewart's play to close the season, I'm somewhat concerned about whether he can go a full season at that pace (or close to it). I'm not talking about injuries (I'll assume that he's past them), but his actual production. I decided to go through and look at his stats from all seasons (except 2012 and 2013, where he missed significant time from injuries). This document shows the results I found - essentially, Jonathan Stewart has been consistent throughout his career in that he is mediocre (especially in YPC) throughout the first half of the season, and excellent in the second half.

 

In 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2014, Jonathan Stewart's YPC increased by at least 1.2 yards in the second half of the season as compared to the first. The biggest shift was in 2010 (a horrid offensive season, but one in which he was excellent down the stretch), where his YPC jumped a whopping 2.4 yards from the first half to the second. This isn't just translatable to him getting the ball more, either - in 2008 and 2011, his attempts either stayed the same or decreased, and yet his YPC and overall yards increased.

 

Essentially, he may have played very well the last few games, but he's very consistent in performing well to close a season. It's just a matter of if he can translate that to playing consistently well. In a way, that's the history of the Panthers organization - we're really good at the end of seasons, not so much to start them.

He's never in his career been a feature back, aside from the last month of this past season. Him as feature back and healthy = top 5 RB in league and success in rushing as a team. Remember giving Goodson carries? Stew as feature back next year could go for 1500+ easily if he plays all 16 games.

Bolded the key words.  This is and will probably always be the problem.

Can't remember having an oline that performed well at the beginning of the season since both of them ran for over 1000 yards.

 

This.  It seems like one of the Panthers hallmarks, such as losing winnable games, getting hot after having horrible starts to seasons, and finding stud linebackers.

Seems every year Stew always has some nagging injury going into the start of the season too IIRC, even if he doesn't miss the game, he's still gimped... and that usually carries on into subsequent games during the season.

 

I can't remember the last time this dude made it through or fully participated in training camp.  He's probably logged more miles on that air bike than Lance Armstrong has on his Trek.

      Corbett might not be gone

      If we are going to spend the money anyway, maybe the signing is not as bad as it seems.  Mays outperformed Corbett (before his injury and if you go back to last year, Corbett has been below average) and then Christensen took the job and Mays quickly took it from him and never looked back.  He could use improvement reaching to the next level (LBs) but picking up stunts and blitzes---he was surprisingly good.  Run blocking needs some work, but he is 25.  Corbett, in my view, should be G/C depth and if Mays steps back, he is there.  Mays should start because this team is building for the future and 30 year old players are not building blocks.  We shall see.  That is how I think about it, but there are many factors we do not know. Having said that, I like what Zavala is doing, and I do not want to bring in someone who would take opportunities away from him.  Zavala was really good at RG down the stretch, and in limited duty, was awesome. In fact, we have a guard from the PS who played briefly and did well, but he only played a few plays.  He is 25 and I recall that fans of his former team were upset when we signed him.   Maybe as the backup center only (Corbett).  You need 2 centers to run practices efficiently.  I cannot say enough about the OL coaches on this staff.  What they have done is overshadowed by the Lewis / Hunt signing.  Mays, Ekwonu, Zavala--impressive growth.
