Would you be upset if we traded J-Stew?

[Miaoww]

Not if we get a good return for him, no.

[Matthias]

My dream scenario would be something like this.

We trade Jonathan Stewart and Jimmy Clausen to the Bengals. In return they give us Leon Hall and their 1st round pick next year. The Bengals proceed to have the worst record in the league, and we have the first overall pick. We then proceed to trade that pick back to the Bengals for a treasure trove of picks (greater than the Ricky Williams trade), and we select Alshon Jeffery, get another RB, get a DT, OL, and every other need locked up. Talk about sweet dreams!

Pssst, buddy. Where do you get your dope?

I want some.

If we could get an elite WR or DT for him, we should consider it.

He may want to stay as a #2 if he's injury prone, will be easier on his body.

Fox plan with them was to use Dwill early in season when teams were fresh, then last half of season use Stew to run over and downhill on banged up defenses. Worked good years we kept it together. The season they both got 1k yards, most of Dwill's were first half season and Stewart last half

J-stew is not capable of taking the full load, on other teams. So, he would be less valuable to teams.

[Ivan The Awesome]

For a player of equal value and a draft pick I wouldn't mind it. RB's come a dime a dozen.

Truth be told I'd rather trade Goodson first...

don't underestimate the stupid teams out there

[jtnc]

don't underestimate the stupid teams out there

It still would be highly dumb, to keep an aging RB, and trade J-stew. Goodson and Sutton maybe good but they aren't on J-stew's level. And I don't know what J-stew would do without d-will, or what would d-will do without stew.

[jtnc]

Also Hurney said that Stew was one of the reasons he re-signed D-will, cause they have a great bond, and are okay with sharing carries so it works out for "everyone".

[Cavscout]

Trade Stewart...Bad Idea

[unicar15]

We need a legitimate cornerback badly. Those of you out there that think Chris Gamble is going to come back and be a top CB are dreaming. It's pitiful to think that our best CB would probably be near the bottom of the 2-deep for some teams.

I understand Hurney wants to run the ball with Williams and Stewart but until our OL shows up it doesn't matter who we have back there. It could be Williams, Stewart, Goodson, or Sutton and its not going to make a difference...they aren't going anywhere.

Williams is signed long-term and unless we are stupid we aren't resigning Jonathan Stewart. So we can either do what the Chargers did with LT and Michael Turner (which was essentially screw the pooch) or we can actually get a position of need in a trade and hedge our bets with Sutton (who is very underrated IMO) and Goodson (showed what he could do last year).

If you split Stewart's carries between Goodson and Sutton then you are probably not going to see a big difference at the end of the year when it comes to statistics. We aren't a playoff team in this division with the secondary that we have right now. No matter the quality of RBs we have.

do you love the panthers more or hate the bengals more I can't tell lol

[PantherFan52]

I'd be heartbroken.

[Zaximus]

Yes, for the right compensation. Stewart is a beast, but he's injured, all the time. He's never made it to the first regular season game without an injury in his life. But, we won't get what he's worth, because RB's get hurt, all the time. However, since we have a stable of capable backs, we should keep them as long as we can. It's no wonder if we had to sign DWill, and our team is looking smart even though people thought we overpaid. We could be going into the season with Sutton and Goodson right now. Maybe only Sutton/Vaughn. Goodson probably wouldn't make the flight on the account of dropping his plane ticket over and over at the airport and missing the flight.
