What if the Panthers drafted Chris Johnson instead of Johnathan Stewart?

[Dpantherman]

We drafted Stewart at 13th. Johnson went at 24th. Many would say we could have the best tandem in the league by far (i think we already do). But if you look at it, It would never work. Johnson hated splitting carries with White. Which is why you barely see him now. It would be a blow up waiting to happen. I'll give Hurney some credit on this pickup.

thoughts?

We would have two talented but equal RB's there's a reason Chris is among the worst running in between tackles. J-Stew gives us what CJ cannot plain and simple...

A luxury for sure, but ultimately wouldn't work out methinks.

Stewart is better than Johnson imo. /thread, and why would we want 2 smaller backs, rather than "Double Trouble"

[Dpantherman]

Before someone question why I even asked the question, I was asked why we didn't pickup Chris Johnson rather than Stewart. When I told them why, they thought I was crazy

[Panthers128]

you guys are crazy, i like stewart but he's nowhere close to the level of chris johnson. chris johnson has a significant lead on williams in rushing yards and he only has one fumble with basically the same number of carries

That pick pissed me off more than trading next years #1 pick next year for Brown. Draft class was deep in RB and we picked Stewart 13th. Could have taken a quality RB later in the 2nd and 3rd round and saved a draft pick.

how many of those backs are doing good this year? Rice and Mendenhall

damn, i already regret posting this.

I'd rather have Johnson than Stewie. I also would've rather picked up Flacco.

We needed a tough short yardage runner, not an explosive option. I still don't believe we have seen a 100% healthy Stewart in the NFL to this point, but even from what we have seen he's an absolute stud. Williams gets the rock between the twenties on first and second down and Stewart gets the short stuff and goal line packages. There couldn't be a more even way to handle these two guys.

If there is one thing that Fox and Davidson have perfected, it has been the two running back system. Neither player is hurting for carries and both players are being utilized for exactly what they are best at doing. You couldn't have custom made two guys with a better attitude to split carries than Stewart and Williams. They both respect what the other has to offer and they both celebrate the success of the other and do not resent the need for the other to exist.

I think we should look at Stewart and feel VERY fortunate that we didn't draft a kid with poor character that couldn't stomach the idea of not being the guy who gets the rock on every down. Stewart and Williams both know the advantage of having 15 carries while you're fresh and have your legs as opposed to getting 30 carries while grabbing your knees.

The absolute ideal running game perfected by two skill sets that compliment each other greatly.
