Jstew For...

[tiger7_88]

JStew's numbers last year: 142 att, 761 yds, 4 tds

Tobert's numbers the last year in Chud's offense: 182 att, 735 yds, 11 tds

They both run like bowling balls. They're pretty much the same age. They both play a position of median value. No reason to keep both.

I can agree with you here.

But I'd rather keep J-Stew and use him one last year in 2012 rather than flush his value down the toilet in a crap deal.

I would trade Stewart and our 2nd to Cleveland for their 4th. That would give us 2 top 10 picks and give them a stud RB and extra fairly high 2nd to help rebuild their team. Doubt they would pull the trigger on that but it would be a whole helluvalot better than giving up Stew just to move up 5 picks. Now maybe if they threw in a 3rd rounder it may be worth considering.

i can't help but think that this is madden logic. oh how i wish trades like this were that easy!

I know they would never go for it but I really don't want us to give the guy away for peanuts.

I agree, this would essentially be a contract year. So, it's in his best interest to perform at a high level. He also seems like the kind of cat that would do that anyways. The OP's proposed trade makes no sense.

To have a dangerous run attack with Cam as your QB you just need a RB who fits the read option stuff. That's it. The rest is just a bonus.

Losing Stewart effects the offense more than Williams. We probably lose Stewart....but losing him will impact things. On top of that, when Stewart walks Williams will then be in his 30s

Jstew is worth a #1st round pick by himself

JStew and our #9 to Cleveland for their #4...

Welcome to Charlotte, Mr. Claiborne.

That seems a bit shitty of a trade for us

Jstew is worth a #1st round pick by himself

Not in reallity

[CatMan72]

Look, I love Stew... but if you can move up from the # 9 pick to the # 4 pick and all it costs you is a HB, you take it.

[PantherBrew]

Well, at first I thought it was retarded.

But, I believe Stew is worth a second rounder, with his contract situation.

So by that logic, it is a #9 + a 2nd rounder to move up to #4.

Not saying I would do it, but its not crazy. Especially if Minny gets Claiborne at #3 (even though i dont think they will).

If Matt Kalil is there, then this is a good deal for us.

the problem that trade would have to go down before the draft. Stewart would have to be willing to sign a new deal with the Browns.....otherwise Clev would be renting him for 1 yr only

Good point.

Stewart and our 4th round pick to the Browns for their #22 pick.............can then magically give Wallace from the Steelers the contract he is wanting, one the Steelers won't match. I say magically because there's no way we can afford Wallace. Then give that #22 pick to the Steelers.

I would agree if we were paying Tolbert more than fullback money. His contract will have absolutely nothing to do with whether or not we can re-sign Stewart.

We are a really good team with Stewart and Williams.

We are a really REALLY good team with Stewart, Williams, and Tolbert.

We are an ok team with just Williams and Tolbert.

No reason not to keep all three.

amen.

if there is some way contractually (without crippling the team) to keep them around we should. that should be the goal.

i've been saying it all along. build on and around the strengths that already exist here. we had one of the best running games in the league with just 34&28. adding cam's skills to the mix not only made us an incredibly respectable and dangerous passing team, but made our run games one of the most lethal.

adding tolbert brings added dimension. he will do great as a blocker. he's a great runner and incredibly good receiver...so he adds a lot to both parts of the offense. he makes what had been great even better. if we can shore up the OL a bit this year and next and add another WR i think this offense can be the best the league has seen. if we can keep the core of this team together for a couple more years, including 34/28/and superchunk, we absolutely should.

I just bought a JStew jersey at the mall in Pineville so this is a terrible idea.
