I expect a big season for J-Stew this year for 1,000 + yds with return of KB giving some breathing room and Daryl Williams taking over the RT position.

A first-timer in the "Top 100" is the first Panther to crack this year's list.

Running back  Jonathan Stewarticon-article-link.gif  ranked as the NFL's 86th-best player in the "Top 100 Players of 2016" on NFL Network. Each Wednesday at 8 p.m. EDT, the show unveils 10 of the top 100 based on NFL players' votes.

Despite missing the final three games of the regular season to heal a foot injury, Stewart had the second-highest rushing total of his eight-year career with 989 yards on the ground. He was a catalyst for the league's highest scoring offense in his first season as the undisputed starter since the Panthers picked him 13th overall in the 2008 NFL Draft.

Stewart might not have missed as much time if the Panthers had needed him, but with playoff positioning secured, they rested him. Stewart responded when he returned for the playoffs, setting the tone right away with a 59-yard gallop on Carolina's first snap in an NFC Division Playoff victory over Seattle. Stewart totaled 218 rushing yards in three postseason games and scored Carolina's lone touchdown in Super Bowl 50.

Reasonable and well-deserved, as he easily earns some of the hardest yards in the NFL. Perhaps overpaid by market standards, but Stew is invaluable to this offense. While people joke about his injury status the guy has played in 13 or more games 6 out of his 8 years in the league, missing 10 games in 2013 and 7 games in 2012.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
