Now it's 2-4 weeks with Stewart

[RoaringRiot]

So how many more seasons does he need to be saved during the offseason while his teammates are busting ass in practice? 5 more? It's the same thing year after year.

He's definitely a bum. I just don't think this injury makes him more or less of a bum. I'll at least give him until the regular season since this isn't uncommon for him.

Eh, hope he gets better and contributes this year.

[CarolinaNCSU]

I said in the original injury thread that they should just shut him down until the season starts, and hope to get some games out of him. Maybe that's what they're doing? Hopefully? Smokescreenz? 

 

 

Dammit Stewart, just leave. 

[Mr. Scot]

When he can play, Stewart is a legitimate threat.  He's got the balance of an elite gymnast and insane body control.  Defenders find out quickly that you have to wrap him up to bring him down.  Trying to put him down with just a hit or a shove is like trying to knock over a Weeble.

 

No, he's not worth the contract he's being paid (few guys would be) but there's little doubt that the team is better when he's available to get on the field.

 

I wish I were more confident in that happening this season, but I can at least call myself hopeful.

I'm still a bit miffed we spent the 13th overall pick on a rb when offensive tackle was the far bigger need, we'd just drafted Deangelo in the first, and we could've drafted a running back later.  Of course, that would probably have meant we got Otah at 13, and I don't know that that's any easier a pill to swallow, but our cap wouldn't be sodomized by two players who probably won't be on the team in two years.  Ugh.  I still hate you, Marty Hurney.

I wanted us to take Otah with that pick.

But I don't get paid millions to asses college talent.(and that is why)

[KSpan]

Remember when td took a massive paycut because of all his injuries? Yeah Stewart should do the same, but he won't.

This is straight robbery. You would think the guy would feel bad

Stew did take a pay cut - his base is only like $750K. The problem is the way the bonus was structured.

I genuinely dislike him more than Rae Carruth. 

[Jangler]

now that's just weird 

[bigskypanthersguy]

I genuinely dislike him more than Rae Carruth. 

 

I'm pretty annoyed with him too, but that's probably taking it too far.

[Ruff]

I genuinely dislike him more than Rae Carruth.

Then you may have a problem with perspective.

[SmootsDaddy89]

He's like the Jeff Otah of RBs

[setzer2030]

True. Shouldn't have said that. Stew hasn't proven he's a scumbag, just a lazy rich dude that doesn't want to work for his money. It's just extremely extremely annoying. 

[DaveThePanther2008]

You know some of his teammates have got to wonder about his will to play the game. Making all this money and sitting on the sidelines.

 

Otah 2.0

 

Must have been in the New York water.  Both were from 2008 draft.

I don't think he's lazy.

 

His durability is the big question mark right now,.
