I keep seeing Huddlers speculating on draft picks or roster positions for year 2017 with Jonathan Stewart still on the roster in Carolina filling a role. 

2017 will be the first year the Panthers could gain measurable relief from the 9.5 Million Dollar cap number Hurney left us with. 

So in your opinion, will JStew be a Panther next year?

My gut says yes but I would be thrilled if we got a young RB or two in his mold.

Releasing him seems like a Gettleman move, especially if we draft a back or some Uglies. Of course, it's quite possible that Stewart will be successful somewhere else for another one or two years and the Huddle will complain about it. Par for the course.

Two things would have to happen for him to not be a Panther. We'd need to draft a HB in the first round or two with a plan of him being the workhorse back. And we'd need to not trust any HB behind him as a CoP or in case of injury. I think it's unlikely both those things happen as the second would require we sign a HB in FA that's much cheaper than Stew and is trustworthy since what we have now wouldn't cut it. And even if those two things happened I could still see Stew staying, with or without a pay cut.

If CAP can't be trusted by year 3 cut his arse too.  Don't disagree they need someone they can trust, but Stew's cap hit is just too much to be a glorified baby sitter.  Hopefully a CJ level pay cut if he stays.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
