I don't think it's just the run blocking, it was the play calling. Denver said as much after the Super Bowl that nothing we did surprised them. We have Cam and when he's on (like Stewart) he can make something out of nothing.

Also, I don't think Stewart's effort is lost of the coaches and GM as DG went out and got complimentary pieces to make the offense better not just a replacement.

God help us if Shula evolves a bit, we've got more weapons than ever.

Let's not forget that while Denver said we didn't do anything to surprise them, we went 17-1 up to that point and had the number 1 offense in the league. We didn't think we needed to change anything. There is a football adage that states you stick with what works and don't change just to change. Obviously they had a better game plan that day and obviously having been in the Superbowl 2 years earlier was a huge advantage. I don't know that you can fairly single out one aspect of our team to lay the blame on as you are doing. 

I agree that Stewart still has value and will be an integral part of our team this year. And I expect that this year not only will we have one of the most diverse running attacks in the league but we will also have one of the most diverse offenses in the NFL incorporating many of the successful spread offense concepts into our scheme. The O line will be the key as will some luck in avoiding multiple injuries to the same position such as center last year or to key players like Kuechly for 6 games.

Finally Gettleman has focused on the offense and given Cam and Shula some of the weapons they have needed for years.

Yours truly?!

R U STEWIE @The Huddler?!?!?!?!?!

[imminent rogaine]

The problem is the read option and the shotgun runs. They bring the defense up which leads to him breaking tackles in the backfield instead of at full speed 7 yards down the field after following a lead blocker. Any rb success in this awful offense is surprising.

[Smithers]

Stew has been behind so many bad offensive lines yet still run hard and produced.  He's a hard runner who gives it all he has on every touch.  He is still going to be a big part of what we do.

When Stewart has been healthy the Panthers are very hard to beat

[juliosantos]

imagine him with dallas line

[Bronn]

I honestly don't recall more punishing ball carriers than Stewart and Smitty...

Maybe I just have my Panthers homer goggles on, but seriously..

Beast Mode has some good ones, but both Smitty and JStew have the deadliest stiff arms ever.

Stewart leads in broken tackles because he is tough but also because he isn't very elusive any more. A guy like McCaffrey will have fewer broken tackles but many more missed tackles if that were a stat on offensive players and not defensive ones. The assumption is the defender made a mistake rather than the offensive player causing the defender to miss

[Lumps]

Impressive for Stewart but this is not a good stat...the Oline and blocking needs to do better.

[My Goodness My Guinness]

Wait but I thought he was over-rated and old and slow and too expensive and a 7th round pick could easily replace him and he sucksssss herp derp!

[Raskle]

Been on the Stewie bandwagon since we drafted him, and I'm not about to jump off now!

[Paa Langfart]

Aside from the run he had against the Jags in the rain a few years back, I will always remember this run - JStew has incredible balance.

Stewart is my kind of RB. He has vision, strength, incredible balance, and he still has a little burst when he needs it.  

I love watching him run. 

Not sure how much longer his run with us will be, but I plan on enjoying every carry.
