As a hardcore Panthers fan, it is difficult for me to submit this idea, but the reality is we can't keep both DeAngelo and Stewart in the long run. If we try, the chances are we will lose one of them to free agency and not get anything in return for them. (Like we did with Peppers) Also, the way things are going now, their value might depreciate the longer we keep them. An average life of a good running back is around four years.

Here is my thinking, Goodson showed he can be a number one running back. So we promote Goodson to number two, and trade away one of our current number one and two backs. I believe Williams contract is up after this season, someone correct me if I'm wrong. Williams may be the more durable back, so I say we re-sign him and trade Stewart for a 1st round pick in the upcoming draft.

I'm reluctant to trade either of them. Deangelo is amazing and proved his worth to me even more this season. The thing is if you trade Stewart and the guy gets healthy he will be a dominant player. We have not seen the full potential of JStew. Not saying he necessarily will be 100% but the risk is there for him to make us look stupid. We have the best back field in the league and they aren't the reason we're losing right now.

none. no change should be made to the RB corps. there is no benefit to the team by letting any of them go. you only make the team weaker and for what? bad idea to mess with one of the few strengths of the team. leave it alone and build up the other parts.

I would like to see what these backs can do for the rest of this season. Part of the reason they are struggling now is because of the o-line, and because we got rid of Hoover. Yet with Goodson, I think we could safely trade away one of these guys.

as long as they don't pay DeAngelo a lot then keep them all. Maybe him getting hurt this year and having lousy production will benefit us in the long wrong.

This is what's going to eventually happen. If DeAngelo comes back this season and tears it up, two things will happen. One, I will be extremely happy, and two, DeAngelo will want to see some money coming his way. If J-Stew comes back and have a big season, he too will want a big contract. I see Goodson potentially being a better number two guy then J-Stew or Williams down the road. If we trade one of them now, we will get top compensation for them for less money. I think we would get a mid-to-late first rounder for Stew.

Williams + Goodson > Williams + Stewart

...potentially

nah, people are letting the first few games of this season hold too much weight.

Stewart is a beast. Mike Goodson nor DeAngleo can run over people like Stewart did against the Giants last season. He needs a hole to get the ball rolling. Once it is in motion there isn't a RB on this roster capable of that.

Stewart also has a couple seasons on his contract so he is going to be part of the group regardless the next couple seasons.

      Different media reactions to the Tetairoa McMillan selection by Carolina

      Pete Prisco https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2025-nfl-draft-grades-for-round-1-jags-earn-a-for-travis-hunter-move-giants-get-c-for-jaxson-dart-pick/amp/ Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona Grade: C I don't love this pick. I know they need to get help for Bryce Young, but I thought Matthew Golden was a better option. They also have defensive needs. McMillan doesn't run that well, which is always a concern PFF https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2025-nfl-draft-grades-every-first-round-pick#car )Carolina Panthers: WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona Pick Grade: Very Good The Panthers continue to build around Bryce Young, who led the NFL in big-time throws from Week 8 through the end of the regular season. Now, he has another downfield target. McMillan was one of the more productive receivers in college football over the past two seasons, ranking in the 85th percentile or better among qualifying NCAA wideouts in receiving grade versus single coverage, yards per route run and contested-catch rate CBS  https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/nfl-draft-2025-ranking-all-32-first-round-picks-as-browns-pass-on-travis-hunter-vikings-bills-get-steals/amp/ Ranked 2nd Tetairoa McMillan (Panthers, WR, No. 8 overall)  Anything to help Bryce Young -- who came on like gangbusters after his Year 2 benching -- right? Absolutely. And McMillan does just that as a classic boundary receiver who wins in the traditional ways, with his size, body and in traffic. There's a glimmer of flexibility to his game, but he isn't a dynamic separator. Not every good receiver has to be elite at getting open on a routine basis against man. McMillan isn't Mike Evans with the ball in the air. There are flashes of those contested-catch skills, and he's a monster after the catch

      Round 1 - Panthers Select Tetairoa McMillan at Pick 8

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Walker was a top 5 athletic in this draft but our scheme IMO wasn't a good fit. We may regret passing on him.  T-Mac as three years of performance and it stands out. I think he opens up the rest of our receiving room. I expect XL and Coker to make big strides in 2025. I've seen grades of A to C on T-Mac, so it just depends on how you feel.  We have to focus on defense on the next 3 or 4 pick. Our round 4 and 5 picks are high picks in that round.  Let's hope Dan and Dave get those picks right.
