Do you think that mike Goodson should recieve slightly more carries than Jon Stewart for the first maybe 2-3 weeks of the regular season? No I'm not saying goodson has unseated Stewart, cause he hasn't, but I think it may take Stewart some time to get back into NFL shape and i don't think throwing him in full force is a wise decision. Last year he was injured in training camp as well but he was still able to play in the preseason. Goodson played pretty well during the preseason and has shown us that if needed he could pick up some of the slack until Stewart is fully ready.

I hate to say this, but yes, Goodson should get more carries initially until J-Stew can get in shape and figures out how to play with the pain.

I'm starting to think this is like a turf-toe injury. It hurts like hell, though no more real damage is done; it's a matter if the player can play through the pain.

Honestly I've imagined that williams will just be a workhorse with stewart and goodson picking up the scraps. We have to remember we've been watching the preseason, I'm totally fine with goodson in there during preseason and he has earned some touches(through the air). BUT, It's not like williams is going to break down from 15 extra snaps for a few weeks.

I think we will use stewart if we absolutley have to, but if williams can handle the job we can afford to wait.

Goodson is too explosive to not see the field but I think williams will really carry the team until stewart is entirely healed. And watching his teamate get all the touches has got to be great motivation to get healthy.

i pretty much agree with this but i think we will see goodson in as relief for williams when he is gassed. We dont want to beat him up so bad week one that he has to deal with that until the bye week. but i do believe he will get the lions portion of the caries. I really think j stew should not play week one if there is any doubt he is good, the last thing we want to do is hurt him now.

Always go with the better back. Goodson had a great preseason and should not be discounted, but this season he will be a change of pace back at most and that is how it should be. He needs to prove he has a firm grasp of blocking schemes before he's used for more than that. I would use him out of the backfield as a check down also or in the slot for a quick hitter. In terms of actual carries, he probably shouldn't get any when we have two elite backs like Stewart and Williams on the roster.

In the world of what have you done for me lately, Goodson is at the forefront. By Week 3 of the important games this will not even be a consideration. Stewart is a rare combination of pure speed, agility, and most importantly power. I dare say he is better than Goodson in all three. The only plus that Goodson has on both of our backs would be his ability to catch the ball and DeAngelo is no slouch there. Stewart has work to do.

      BREAKING:Panthers re-sign Chuba Hubbard

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      You keep rounding up to $10 in order to exaggerate your point which usually means your point is very strong.  Bijan is making 5.5 millions a year to Chuba's 8.5 and they used an absolute premium pick on him in a top 10 pick.  That pick vs were we picked Chuba or even Brooks are two very different draft prospects.  Chuba has the attitude and skillset we want to build a better team and culture.  He has shown he can be a top RB and we are paying him a moderate salary. You also need to look at the contract again.  Only $15 million is guaranteed.  It could look very similar to that Henry 2 year $16 million dollar one you are suggesting we do instead.  Always look at the guaranteed vs the total money.  If Chuba gets the total money he is cooking and we are happy.   You want us to use assets elsewhere because we have so many holes but you also want us to draft another WR in the first, probably top 5 this year will all of the other holes we have on the roster.  To me those two opinions don't line up.  Back to back 1st round picks on WRs when we have so many holes.  I think we are just keeping good young players that want to be here and Chuba fits the mold.  TMac could also fit that mold.

      I dont believe Bryce is the future at all but I also dont believe we should use a first on Sanders or Ward. Grab someone later in the draft or wait until next year is what I would do but if I were always right I would be a GM so theres that too I guess.

      Why are we wasting money on RBs? Not even 2 years and we overpaid for 2 RBs!

      I swear there are like 6 people on this godforsaken website that must be paid just to piss and moan all day in these stupid ass threads, for years on end, about fugging everything. Always something to whine about. If y'all aren't getting paid to professionally bitch about this team at every opportunity you need to reevaluate your lives because that ish is pathetic for grown ass men to be doing.  There are at least 50 other voices of reason in here. They're all smarter than you kneejerking perpetual contrarians. It's a fine contract. Our previous dipstick GM ran this team like some college kid that read a few Investopedia articles on technical trading and started throwing daddy's money at every positive indicator he saw - look what happened when Fitt drafted by RAS because he couldn't identify talent if it was footballs deep in his wife in the war room. It's a football team and this preoccupation with analytics, in this instance the positional value of RBs, is like 30% of the equation. It's not wholly inaccurate, but it requires a lot of context and, going back to the trading analogy, an understanding of the fundamentals. This is a sad, crappy organization that needs some winning attitudes in the locker room and on the field. $15 mil guaranteed over two years is nothing compared to the intangible value he brings, and the message the contract sends, not to mention his stellar work ethic and consistent improvement.
