If Stew has a good year this year hopefully we will restructure his contract. No one is going to trade for him.

 

If he has unhealthy year you're right he might be shown the door.

IIRC his cap hit drops tremendously next year and whatever hit we do take as a June 1 we can spread it over two years.  

Said that to say this... He gone.

this reads a lot more to the point in another thread - that if there's a tie, the tie goes to the cheaper player signed longer - than any longterm promise of greatness. Of course if he felt Wegher was a starting level player in the making, he's kept.  The longer contract is what broke the tie.

this seems to be the forgone conclusion with everyone. People assume he will get hurt this year and he won't be a panther next year. However, what if he stays healthy and has a career year? It wasn't too long ago that everyone knew he was the best back on the roster. I don't think it's too much of a stretch that he runs for 1300 yards and earns another year here. He's a monster when healthy and maybe this is the year he proves he's worth every penny of the contract. I'm not sure what g-man is thinking but there is some level of productivity that you just can't let go. Personally, I hope he gets there because hes been nothing but a producer when on the field.

Guys... I expect and hope that they'll be good, but come on. Neither of them have even played a regular season snap yet. Lets not get ahead of ourselves. 

There really is no way you could compare them yet to the 2300+ yards and 28 combined td's of Double Trouble in 2008.

Wegher 2015-16 Season Prediction

Wegher has limited carries(6-12) through week 4. Injuries and a bye week week give him ample time with the first team. He and Payne assume the rushing role.

 

117 Rushing Attemps for 730yds rushing

14 receptions for 213yds

(Regular season)

fun prediction:)

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
