Interesting Jonathan Stewart rushing stats

As much as I love Jonathan Stewart's play to close the season, I'm somewhat concerned about whether he can go a full season at that pace (or close to it). I'm not talking about injuries (I'll assume that he's past them), but his actual production. I decided to go through and look at his stats from all seasons (except 2012 and 2013, where he missed significant time from injuries). This document shows the results I found - essentially, Jonathan Stewart has been consistent throughout his career in that he is mediocre (especially in YPC) throughout the first half of the season, and excellent in the second half.

 

In 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2014, Jonathan Stewart's YPC increased by at least 1.2 yards in the second half of the season as compared to the first. The biggest shift was in 2010 (a horrid offensive season, but one in which he was excellent down the stretch), where his YPC jumped a whopping 2.4 yards from the first half to the second. This isn't just translatable to him getting the ball more, either - in 2008 and 2011, his attempts either stayed the same or decreased, and yet his YPC and overall yards increased.

 

Essentially, he may have played very well the last few games, but he's very consistent in performing well to close a season. It's just a matter of if he can translate that to playing consistently well. In a way, that's the history of the Panthers organization - we're really good at the end of seasons, not so much to start them.

He's never in his career been a feature back, aside from the last month of this past season. Him as feature back and healthy = top 5 RB in league and success in rushing as a team. Remember giving Goodson carries? Stew as feature back next year could go for 1500+ easily if he plays all 16 games.

Bolded the key words.  This is and will probably always be the problem.

Can't remember having an oline that performed well at the beginning of the season since both of them ran for over 1000 yards.

 

This.  It seems like one of the Panthers hallmarks, such as losing winnable games, getting hot after having horrible starts to seasons, and finding stud linebackers.

Seems every year Stew always has some nagging injury going into the start of the season too IIRC, even if he doesn't miss the game, he's still gimped... and that usually carries on into subsequent games during the season.

 

I can't remember the last time this dude made it through or fully participated in training camp.  He's probably logged more miles on that air bike than Lance Armstrong has on his Trek.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
