Meh, he's barely averaging 4 ypc. If we pick up a rookie back early I don't want him sharing carries with Stewart .

He'll be inactive

I think he will be a Panther 2017. It is not his fault that our O-line cant hold up.

I can, however, get mad at others when they show a complete lack of cerebral ability with regards to common fuging respect towards another member of this site.

 

These mother fugers (every other user on this forum) have more in common with you than most of the fugs you pass by, on the street. Show them a little courtesy and heed your own words. You can't jump someone's poo just because they don't agree with you.

 

For fug's sake, son.

Jonathan Stewart is not the problem. In fact, he's the only reason we have a threat of a run game.

 I agree, he should take on more of Tolberts role and let the rookie take on the carries. Wishbone formation

I think people don't realize 1) just how good JStew really is, and 2) how he can't be replaced for the 4 mil in cap savings we would get from him. 

 

I think he'll be back next year.

I hope so

If he keeps playing like he has tonight then heck yeah.

I agree with this.

Being generous Stewart will run for 800-900 yards this season. Is that production (likely less) worth 10 million Cap Dollars in 2017?

[Kevin Greene]

Coming into tonight Stewart was averaging 3.6 YPC.

Stewart is too vital to our offense. The cap savings is nice but I would be hesitant to thrust a rookie out there. Especially with our crappy OL. He might be a prime candidate to get restructured.

[Wundrbread33]

He better fuggin be.

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?

If we can convert some of that 5.5 base salary into bonus, add a dummy year, and get the cap hit down to the 6.0 range, I think he'll stick around.  But if Fornette is somehow still sitting there when we pick, the card will be in so fast they won't even have time to go to the typical "panthers are picking" commercial.  Then a pay cut will have to be on the table.
