That Stewart guy...


Dunn

Recommended Posts

So I was all on board for keeping Stewart this year to fill the hole at RB while slowly getting CAP/Fozz/Wegher into the rotation and getting a feel for the big stage and slowly integrate into our running attack and push Stewart out and on his way next year with his pending cap space.  

Here's the problem, Stewart is running like an animal.  The last few games he has been running downhill no matter who is draped over him, against two of the toughest run Defenses in the NFL.  If he can keep healthy, it would be a tough decision on what to do with him after the season as he is currently a critical part of this offense.  

Whats his money due next year vs. being released and what would we save?  How could we possibly keep him if he can stay healthy?

Stewie carried out offense along with many defenders last night.  He Beast-moded it.  He kept getting pointed out by even Collinsworth and co of him carrying defenders for extra yards after contact.

I can't wait to see him next week.  Think last night was just a taste.  If you saw what Ingram did yesterday to the colts.  I fully expect Stewie to go old mnf double trouble vs Tampa on the colts.

This offseason is going to consist of difficult decisions. Stew, to me, seemed like someone we could let walk at the start of the season it because his play but bc the money he'd want. He's been so clutch at pass blocking, play action, and all around running that we can't let him walk. Then there is Norman, Star, And Short, who I believe all contracts are up after this season. It is important to keep J-No as well as Kk and Stah. Maybe pick up fifth year options on the day's tag J-No and resign JStew. 

But, that's a problem for the offseason, let's keep winning an keep pounding. Go Panthers go!

running backs are a dime a dozen.  hes running like this because he knows hes gone next year and he wants someone else to pay him.  its that simple. I like the guy well enough, and I would like to keep him. But for the dollars...i just dont see it happening.

Stewart is one of the most talented band in the league. He runs like an animal and is the perfect style back for our offense. He's also the best blocking RB in the NFL and does a great job keeping blitzes from getting to Cam.

He's not going anywhere. He's only 28 and his body has very little wear. Carolina is gonna ruse his back the next 3-4 years just like Seattle has done with Lynch. 

RBs are not "a dime a dozen."

Look at the teams reaching the SB, they have great RBs. Stewie is very underrated by the huddle. 

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.

    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch 
    • What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
