Anyone have that gif of that 60 yard touchdown?

didnt look like he lost much of that speed 

He looked slow to me on that run to be honest. Just my opinion. Not the Stew of old.

Look no further than the Huddles general opinion of him. It hasn't changed in years.

He's always been very good when healthy, though it's pretty clear that a lot of his burst is gone at this point.

Jonathan Stewart in his prime = Second best, and second most freakish running back of the past decade or more other than Adrian Peterson.

I'm positive if you put him in place of Ezekiel Elliot he does better than Elliot does on the Cowboys.

No. Just no. 

I think the guy you're talking about is named Frank Gore. That's the guy who is truly underrated by football fans as a whole. Stewart was always a guy who was really good when healthy but could just never reliably stay healthy. That can be said for a lot of RBs.

His burst looks fine.

I'm not sure what you've been watching this year. He's much slower to hit the hole. If he can get past the LOS and get rolling he still looks good, but that initial burst is severely lacking. It's not surprising. 30 has proven a helluva obstacle for more RBs than not.

I love how people always bring up Stewart's health.  He's actually had a pretty healthy career for a RB. 

He is the definition of reliable. He has great strength, amazing balance, good vision, and it hard to tackle.

I tell you what, he can still get up high in the air. That jump in the end zone and there’s been a few times where he and the younger CMC have jumped over defenders. He’s still a beast physically

Lol. What a fuging joke. 

This season where the run blocking has been atrocious? 

Stewart is also a patient runner. 

Go buy a clue.

Frank Gore has had a better career, I wouldn't say he was/is the better back, Stew > Gore all day every day, unless you're factoring in the fact Stew is injury prone and all that, in which case if you want to argue Gore is a better back because of that, that's fine. But on pure ability and skill and freakishness? Stew all day. Like i said, in his prime, gotta be the 2nd best RB of the past decade just from a skill perspective, although I realize that's a bit of an outrageous statement because his career hasn't been great.

I see you've resorted to hurling insults. I guess you've given up. 

Numerous times the hole has been there and Stew has just been too slow to get there. Honestly, CAP has looked better in his limited opportunities.

I believe too many here are homers to their college love rather than the NFL and let that sway who they want or hate.

i could care less about college football so I’m not.

stewart is the most and has been the most underrated of running backs seen in the NFL in a long time.

hes also a high character guy that is always ok not being the guy and sharing carries.

that has hurt much of his career stats wise but he’s shown me time and time again just how awesome he is.

this fan base is the worst In the NFL. Truly by far the most Judas of any out there.

when he blows by people,.. oh he’s slow and done,.. when he has 100 yard game on a team that hasn’t had a 100 yard rusher all year,.. fluke,.. jumps over for a touchdown for the 3rd time in the same year,.. still the peanut gallery.

our stadium should play Charlie Brown music for the fans,.. actually should ban so called Panthers fans from the stadium, other teams fans give them more respect anyway.

anyway, stewart is the best running back the team has ever had, and I’ve watched from the Barry Foster days,..

I've always liked Stew, but honestly he isn't even the best/most talented former Oregon RB of the last decade. That would be Steven Jackson. 

[RealisticPanther]

I mean, Stew certainly looked like one of the best backs in the NFL in 2015 didn't he when that read option was working? A lot of people don't give credit for his ability these past 2 years because you never get to see his ability due to the shitty line and stupid schemes.

You don’t know football or running backs if you say like that.

stewart watches for the hole like Bell, then pushes through, just his style.

if he sees a linebacker trolling up to the hole he looks for another.

other backs that don’t have the vision to do that just hit the designed hole, works great if it’s there, not so much when it’s not,.. it’s why they get cut soon after ala Alfred Morris and company.

CAP can’t hold Stewart’s socks, everyone knows it, that’s why he doesn’t play,..period.

people kept saying the same kind of App homer crap for Armanti Edwards and Others,.. they sucked period,.. CAP obviously does too.
