You just hate Deangelo,but denagelo was better here than Stewart was. He's a better running back don't see how anyway can dispute that 

DeAngelo is a better all time RB

Stewart always fit the Cam Newton era O better when both were healthy.  That IMO can't be disputed.  Did we not go to the Super Bowl last year? Go 15-1? Was Stewart a Pro Bowler?  Seems the O finally took off once Williams' ineffective running  in our scheme was taken out.  

and congrats to DeAngelo for going to Pitt and being motivated to lose weight and get in shape to be successful.  He wasn't the Pitt RB here and nothing suggests he would have been.  He didn't fit our scheme that well to begin with and wasn't in great shape. Being fired prompted change. 

 

 

and I don't hate him.  I just got no issue parting with guys.  We needed to part with him, with 89, etc.  We are now too late to the party with Tolbert. We often wait far too late.  People historically have taken great issue with that because the huddle wants everyone to retire a Panther.  I don't.  If Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Reggie White can be parted with.....so can everyone on our roster.  There are very few players (usually ones who retire early) that legitimately should play an entire career with one team. Have to evolve.

Your first sentence is all I'm saying. You could argue that the team should have adapted to accommodate. But there's no way anybody can say Stewart is better. The stats just don't support it not total stats, not averages, nothing.

The history books will say otherwise. What isn't he better at? You forget who our all-time leading rusher is huh?

Running a zone read heavy scheme with with an emphasis on between the tackle running. Stewart proved to be better at that.  Not a debate.  

we went 15-1 and Stewart made the Pro Bowl once he became the featured guy in it

A guy with as many rushing TDs in 9 years with Carolina as our current QB does in 5 and a piece?

And you've been a panthers fan long enough to know that if Deangelo didn't score from 20 yards out, his tds would be going to Stewart who got plenty of cheap tds from him.

You could argue it.  But why?

Why shift an offense to fit a 30 yr old RB and not to fit Cam Newton?

and yes, Stewart is better IN THE SCHEME we have run with Newton.  That is all that is said because as a Panther fan it is all that matters.

if you have to choice of both RBs Williams might be better to most teams because he might fit more teams better.  But that has nothing to do with us.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      How about just don't draft project players in the first round? How about especially when you have arguably the worst roster in the NFL(we did all those years in question)? You don't even have to dig into those player debates specifically. Just don't grasp at straws early in the draft.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By AU-panther · Posted

      I think there were 9, and since I haven't took time to watch each of them on each play individually Its impossible for me to say, which I doubt you have either.   It's not a stat driven grading system; it's a per play grading system.  Tommy Tremble making a great block to spring Rico for that 10-yard run might actually score higher on that play then Ricos run. The actual run might not be anything special; it might be a run that pretty much every back in the league would have made. Here again, I would guess, if you look at every RB in the league, he is towards the top in rushing grade for the year which is what most of us are seeing.  Whether you call that a 90/80/70, 50/40/30, A/B/C, Gold/Green/Red star, it doesn't really matter it's how he ranks relative to everybody else at his position.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By strato · Posted

      Well I will never knock a strong arm, in a vacuum, but it is a lot more than that to it.  Did we kill our roster building and our defense in particular to stick PJ out there?  No. We knew we sucked and he was really just a temporary thing too.  While with Bryce I see the up and down, mostly down, roller coaster on loop now in year three. It has been a Looooong time.    Back to strong arms, it is like having a powerful motor in a car. All the power in the world isn’t going to overcome a bad driver.   But at the same time, even a decent drive with a killer car will beat the best driver if you put him in a go kart   Exaggerating for effect, I know Bryce is not a go kart. Maybe closer to a 6 cylinder with not much displacement…..
