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 see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
