he needs 491 yards in 6 games to hit the 1000 yard mark. that's 81.8 yards per game.

contrary to the concerns of some about stewart "stealing" carries from williams, he's on pace to have less rushing attempts than he did last season while williams will have more. he's going to need some big games in order to hit the mark.

he's already surpassed brad hoover on the (very young) all time panthers' rushing leaders list. another 126 yards and he will be ahead of nick goings. 451 yards will bump him into the number 6 position above anthony johnson.

with 209 yards, he will have a better second season than all of the panthers' all time leading rushers with the exception of anthony johnson.

192 yards will give him a better freshman/sophomore year total than any panthers' RB.

some day stewart will get a shot at the starting position. it'd be nice to see what the kid can do with additional and more consistent carries.

Let's not forget that he's able to do this because we have another viable threat along side him. Those two guys work in conjunction with one another. So, to say one would do better if he was to get more carries is ignoring this fact. Plus our offense has no air game, we need two running backs to get legs healthy and give the other guy a break.

you'd be hard pressed to convince some people that williams wouldn't be better without stewart.

Both Williams and Stewart will have better careers because of one-another. Welcome to the official era of the two-back system. Defenses have gotten so much bigger, stronger and faster that it's too much punishment for one back to take.

I sincerly hope we hang on to both of them for a long time. If we ever get a passing game to compliment double-trouble we will be unstoppable.

      What's your confidence level in Canales?

      Getting any level of competition and cohesion out of this roster is a job well done.

      Not sure if anyone else is watching this D1-AA championship game but I don't know if these receivers have NFL athleticism but they got HANDS. These boys can flat out CATCH. This is a good football game.

      People on here are wrong all the time. I mean some of our best draft picks people didn't like initially due to various reasons. On the other hand there have been a multitude of decisions made by people who are paid very well to know what they're doing that some Panthers fans here saw as a mistake a mile away. Well look man let's put all the chips on the table. Because your grievance is particularly about the QB position. The Panthers have had only two long term starting franchise QB's in 30 years. Thirty years. Two. This fanbase has seen a hell of a lot of poor to mediocre QB play and even short lived fairy tales like the Kyle Allen win streak or going back even further Matt Moore. As far as Darnold and Mayfield goes I think they are certainly overachieving but I don't think anyone here that was critical of either of them were wrong. They both had a heaping portion of humble pie here that has served them greatly now. Mayfield in particular because when he first got here he was still a cocky idiot. Darnold at least kept his head down and did his job for the most part. But I have a hard time seeing either of them going far in the playoffs because in the midst of some of their best games I've seen the same flawed QB's. Darnold is no Nick Foles let's be real with one another here. Baker specifically looked like hot garbage against our defense in Charlotte recently. And those best teams in the playoffs have all that on film and damn well know about it too if average fans like us can see it.
