Rotoworld:

"Stewart is one of the NFL's top pure runners ... Still relatively young (28), Stewart will be viewed as a 2015 offensive building block for the Panthers. ... he had 679 yards on 128 carries (5.30 YPC) over the Panthers' final seven games, including playoffs."

http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/nfl/52922/57/silvas-pre-draft-top-150

If Stewart maintains that same pace over the next 16 games, he'll have a 1,552 yard season

Both Trai Turner and Andrew Norwell will be even better with a year of NFL adjustment and training under their belts

on top of that, we just added 3 new guys that played RT over the last couple years in Oher, Martin, and our draft pick William....and we still have Remmers

Thats gives us 4 RTs to compete to bookend each side of our OL and open up an even more powerful running attack then we had over the last 7 games. Heck, Stewart might run for 1,750!

But, toning the expectations down because we'll rotate other backs to keep Stewart fresh, and because Stewart might miss a game or two to injuries, it still seems likes its realistic that we can allow ourselves to get a little excited about the thought of an incoming 1,000-yard season for J Stew

Jonathan Stewart finally the #Panthers ' featured back.

For the first time, Jonathan Stewart enters the season as the

Panthers' feature back.

"Stewart is pretty darn good. Since 2008, there are 21 running backs with at least 1,000 carries, and Stewart has the 5th highest YPC (4.63) in that group. While he’s not a prolific pass catcher (130 catches in 90 games), his catch percentage is a solid 72.6%, which is better than both Arian Foster and Jamaal Charles. Stewart just turned 28, and is still in his prime."

ESPN David Newton:

"This season will be the first since Stewart was drafted that he hasn’t been in the shadow of DeAngelo Williams. Carolina released its all-time leading rusher in February, leaving Stewart as the unquestioned No. 1 back heading into the 2015 season.

...

Stewart’s number was called late last season when Williams suffered a fractured hand. Stewart responded by rushing for 401 yards on 79 carries in the month of December, more than any player other than Dallas' DeMarco Murray, who had 418. Stewart added 123 yards in the home playoff win against Arizona.

He looked like the back that in 2009 rushed for 1,133 yards and 10 touchdowns. But even that season Williams was the starter for 13 games, rushing for 1,117 yards. Williams and Stewart were dubbed "Double Trouble" that year, but it always was clear Stewart was the second half of double.

Not anymore."

Panthers.com:

"Last season, Stewart surged at the end of the year and helped carry the Panthers into the postseason. He finished with 809 yards in 13 games– his highest rushing output since 2009, his second NFL season.

...

Stewart and Williams were famously nicknamed "Double Trouble," with Williams regularly getting the starting nod when both were healthy. Now Stewart, who has 28 career starts, is entering a season in which he is the unquestioned feature back."

This is the first off season he has had in a few years where he's been able train while healthy so he should come in in great shape.  Stew/Fozzy/Tolbert/Artis-Payne should be a nice rotation.  Gonna have Vic Beasley backing up like a scared bitch when we run at him.

A healthy Stew is a top 5 back in the NFL IMO... he's been better than Deangelo since 2011.  He's just also been injured damn near constantly since after that 2011 season.

 

Pass protection, pass catching, vision, power, speed, decision-making, explosiveness, legs that keep churning, he's got everything you want for a running back... except for the ability to stay healthy.

 

I'm feeling like this year will be his year.

      It's actually interesting you mention Richardson because I've seen it suggested here Bryce will have 500 or more rushing yards and 5-10 rushing touchdowns this year. And if big Anthony Richardson can get hurt carrying the rock what's that tell you about the practicality of thinking Bryce won't?

      I mean, I get why the media and some NFL and Carolina fans are saying that we don't have a real chance, but as many Huddlers should know, we won't know what we really have in this team until probably late September or early October at the earliest. And I'm not trying to be a homer, I'm just looking at things historically. Obviously I'm also looking at Bryce's "palatable" improvement the last half of last season (including being the catalyst for hanging with and nearly beating the Super Bowl participants), and the new additions that we've acquired overall. I'm also looking at the beginnings of a culture change--even if perceptibly subtle--to some degree indeed may take a foothold if things start falling the right way. But, overall, I'm still cognizant of the realization that things could just go south and that perhaps that Bryce could revert and flop, or that D & D (Dan and Dave) are not the answer, but I still am not ready to say "we're far away." Hell we could be close, albeit with growing pains, but even if we're on the course to bring legit in 2026, then guys like Ramsey would be welcome additions this season. That's just my take on it. I don't think we'll know that we're far away until some point in the season. If we can compete in the South...who knows?

      You guys remember when the narrative on here was that Bryce would be chronically injured in the NFL due to his size and Anthony Richardson would be super durable due to his? You remember when the narrative was that Bryce was physically incapable of throwing a ball further than 20 yards in the NFL? You remember “I’ll stop complaining when he throws for more than 200 yards and looks like an NFL quarterback”? You remember when 60 sacks was his fault and not the offensive line, slow WRs, and terrible scheme? Pepperidge Farm remembers. It will always be something for some people. Whatever insanity they come up with will be quickly dropped to move on to the next thing. Bryce could have an MVP Super Bowl winning season and they would complain that we can’t run the tush push with him. It will always be something.
