Despite Rivera saying that Stewart needs less reps early on, both Wegher and CAP are inactive. 

 

@Panthers: #Panthers Inactives for #GBvsCAR: DT Edwards, DB Marlowe, TE Simonson, RB Artis-Payne, RB Wegher, WR Norwood, G Norwell.

Mentioned it earlier in a thread this week.  It's pretty surprising to me that we aren't spelling Stew a bit more with CAP and Wegher.  Stew is on pace for almost 300 carries, most he has ever carried was 220 or so, his 2nd year in the league.

A little worrisome to me.

Tolbert and Fozzy should take some of the load off him.

I can understand Wegher, to a degree. He probably wasn't going to make the 53 yet, but we knew that, if we stored him on the practice squad, he was going to get claimed. 

 

CAP should be playing, though. And not one random carry late in the game. The only thing I can think is that he isn't progressing as much as we would hope/like.

This doesn't surprise me.  With D. Williams & Shaq both healthy again, and Addison healthy enough to play, someone previously active was going to have to be deactivated.  CAP was the obvious choice.  The way we're playing this year, we're always going to prioritize the players in the trenches on the Oline & Dline.

I'm hoping that we'll be 8-0 going to Tennessee next week and might be able to play more of our rookies, but I'm not sure our coaches will go for that.

He's never had a work load like this before, he is getting paid to be a feature back, ride Stewart until the wheels fall off ... Stewart could get hurt even when being spelled, or he could not get hurt with the most carries of his career if he is going to get hurt hes going to get hurt ...

Like an inning limit for MLB pitchers coming off Tommy John, limit the innings all you want, guy can get hurt whether you limit his pitches or you dont

I don't think you understand how RB injuries work, or any injuries in the NFL for that matter.

I guess I don't

1,284 rushing attempts for Marshawn Lynch since 2011

585 rushing attempts for Stewart since 2011

Obviously the work load isn't why Stewart cant stay healthy, he'll get injured even when he isn't getting a lot of carries is what his history indicates

He has fewer rushing attempts because he was hurt. I'm not sure I understand your logic here. Lynch is built differently in a scheme that runs differently.

Stew can't stay healthy because he is injury prone.  With increased carries, you have a much better chance of injury.

In addition to that, you have a RB who is getting up there in age, and his body won't repair itself as quickly as it did in the past....leading to, once again, a higher chance of injury.

I'm all for running the wheels off of him, but let's make sure we do our best to be able to do that through 18 weeks.

The Panthers and Seattle pretty much have the same offensive philosophy if you get any deeper into it than that it is pointless, they both like the run first, period.

Stewart's healthiest season could be the one where he got his most attempts, this year, maybe his lack of carries and splitting time was the reason he got injured a lot, Stewart to me is a guy that likes the workload just never got it

Seattle and us have nowhere near the same offensive philosophy. But, I digress. 

 

There is obviously concern about it if the head coach of the team has acknowledged it already, openly.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By frankw · Posted

      Me and you clearly have different definitions of production. If you remove the 2023 season where Thielen had just over 1k yards he is 43rd on our all time receivers list just ahead of Jonathan Mingo. And before you ask why would we remove that season? Well a couple reasons. For one thing we won a whopping 2 games. And for the biggest. Thielen was 14th in targets in 2023. We absolutely force fed him the ball all season and finished with the 32nd passing offense. For comparison sake 33 year old Jerricho Cotchery eclipsed over 1k total yards in just 2 more games and with 67 less targets than Thielen did in that 2023 season. He has above average hands. That's it. We overpaid him because we were desperate and overvalued him. That's the reality no matter how many times you or anyone else wants to quote me and get defensive about it.

      He's played great and it was a win-win (rare free agent) for both parties.  One of the points is he hasn't made enough difference to "waste" 35 million on. Another point is by the time Panthers are hitting their prime, he would have taken snaps away from young WRs/TEs/RBs. "Thus" in the long term, hurting the teams new future "window."  But I dare think of the monkey poo of a offense the Panthers had without him the past 2 years. Lack of talent leads to many problems, including paying a 35 year old to be somewhat respectable. Hes one of few that cared enough and made a effort. Plus you know he's done great stuff in many other ways for the team, community juggernaut, leadership, etc.  Judgement is for AT and his 3 year panther career!!

      But it has gotten a little wacky. RBs-https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contracts/_/position/rb     A couple months ago iggles made Bark the highest guaranteed RB, jeanty was until then. That's what matters the guarantee. A rookie never played a down was the leader, until iggles howie made things right.  If a safety gets drafted in the top 8 or so, he would have the highest money too or very close to it.    Add in TEs and C too.    Even with the fixed %, the numbers are getting too much for a player that's not proven themselves.     Plus anytime a QB is drafted it screws up the contracts for players around and if next year a punter gets drafted at the same 90th spot, they want the same contract with the 5.7% increase. Teams would be laughing.    Its just reached this point. Another 10 years and I bet the vets will be crying.
