Panthers Agree With Tolbert On 4 Year Deal

to be clear, I don't think the Panthers will do anything this year regarding Stew or D-Will, however, it would be pretty retarded of us to not pull out all the stops to try to sign Stewart next year, even if that means cutting my beloved Deangelo. Stewart is 24, and by all accounts, looked like a better running back last year. If I were a betting man, I wouldn't be surprised if Stewart became our starter next year, both to show him we are committed to him as our number one in the future and to get the most out of him should he leave.

That is exactly what it is. Rumor was Stewart was not willing to sign last year. We saw this play out with Peppers. This time they are likely not going to do nothing. Either Stewart signs this off-season or signals he seriously wants to stay. If he doesn't and it appears he is gone, then we are better off getting something for him versus nothing. Tolbert just guarantees we have some leverage now.

could be, just wait and see how the season plays out with all 3, then make the decision. But it is good to see that the Panthers will not be put in the same "peppers position" again. And DWill can always restructure, so I'm sure JS and DW will be talking business a lot this season.

we got that franchise tag in our back pocket just in case.

I'd love to see how this convo went down with hurney and some of you as coaches. So mike we see what you did in a chargers uniform as a starter and we'd like to offer you a nice pay cut from what you could be getting and a nice warm bench spot. You could be our new brockel.You saw that one play where we did that thing right? How's that sound?

If we don't do something by July we have no leverage. If we wait until after the season then he is a free agent and can go anywhere. If we use the franchise tag on him then we are saying we will pay him 8 million for one year which is usually a lot more cap space then you would have if we signed a long term deal. And he could do what Peppers did which was not sign the tag so we couldn't trade him. I really think that we will try and get something done this year.

    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
