The only ones who thonk Stew will be gone are fans. 

He has done nothing to be shown the door.

you mean short-sighted fans, over-reacting knee-jerk spazzes, the ones that can only remember back one week. a couple of us have been saying all along that our offense needs him and people are crazy for suggesting otherwise.

[juliosantos]

he will get the vet min hes already been paid a ton of money im sure hell take a gettle low ball 

[pantherclaw]

he will get the vet min hes already been paid a ton of money im sure hell take a gettle low ball 

why would he take a pay cut? Cause your so ignorant to believe he should?

Or maybe its the fans that have seen what happens with management over-pays for talent?  Remember back so long ago...think WAAAAAAAY back, maybe 2-3 years?  Not too short sighted now, is it?  Or maybe you enjoy shopping at the Dollar store for eternity. 

[nosuchthingasapanther]

My personal opinion is that you have homer glasses hard.

Stewart has a history of injury issues. His body has PLENTY of wear due to those lingering ankle and knee injuries. 

28 is old for a RB. This is when they start to decline. Look at the stats of any RB not named Adrian Peterson and you'll see a steady declination in their numbers after they reach the age of 26. 30 is damn near unheard of for a number one running back these days. 

I'm glad he's played well for us the past few games but his days as a panther might be numbered if he doesn't take a significant pay cut this offseason. If that contract number goes down, I have no issue keeping him. 

frank gore says fug you.

not sure what you are trying to say here, but if you think a Fozzy, CAP and Wegher would be carrying this team you are fuggin nuts.

if you are trying to say we should have gotten rid of him 2 or 3 years ago but he is playing like his is now, then thats dumb as well. he is a great back for this system. of course the genius of Shula could probably tailor his system to fit a different back but thats another conversation.

[pantherclaw]

sure he has. everytime he cashes one of hurneys checks.

yeah, heaven forbid good playees get paid. 

[TheNewStandard]

I knew his contract was going to be near 8-million off our cap. If we cut him, he saves us around 6-million, I think.

if he can keep up this production and last through the season, it's gonna be hard to cut him. 

As much as I like J-No and CJ, they are gonna be hard to keep. 

[Ivan The Awesome]

I hope to god he stays healthy...I just want to see him finish a season healthy...post season as well, super bowl run too...championship run too...

of the three, i'm willing to bet johnson is the first to go.

[TheNewStandard]

of the three, i'm willing to bet johnson is the first to go.

yeah...he's been nearly non-existent since his injury plague started a couple years ago.

none of our stable of RBs can make up for the loss of Stewart. He's been earning his money this season.

[maddog1945]

Dang, he is really helping to carry the load!  I don't know if he is pissed because he was not getting any good ink, but he is getting the job done.

I admit I wasn't to sure about keeping him, but that's twice I've been wrong.  But her lawyer helped her!!!

Just hope he stays healthily!
