Hate this, he is one of the good guys. Doesn't seem that long ago when we drafted him. Damn I'm getting old.

I was actually sitting on the couch of a girl that I was dating at the time. She was cuddled up to me and getting a little frisky. When I saw the Panthers drafted Stewart, I sat up toward the TV and said "holy crap".

Let's just say my reaction wasn't well received :)

LMAO, Well my story isn't as "romanic" as yours. I just remember that full pic of him after the pic and sending it to my buddies saying "look at this stump of a kid".

Oh I wouldn't call mine "romantic". She was...annoyed. Even more so when I reacted again because they traded up and drafted Jeff Otah.

I don't count that as one of my proudest moments :)

I remember seeing his pre-draft interview at Oregon and thinking that no matter where that kid goes, I'm rooting for him.  I knew we wouldn't take him cause we had D-Will.  When we took him I was ecstatic and he'll remain one of my favorite Panthers ever.  Hope we give him a grand sendoff when the time comes.  That Chris Conte stiffarm all over twitter had me reminiscing about the MNF game that both D Will and J Stew put Ronde Barber in the ground so hard it shook the stadium.

Hate to hear it for him, he's a great guy and he was a heck of a running back. He gets to spend time with him wife and kid now and I'm pretty sure they are well taken care of. He'll also get to spend more time on his music. Talented guy, done well for himself. Maybe he can come back and retire as a Panther on a one day contract next year.

Not shocking.  Few if any believed he had a full year left in him.

Hate to see it, though.

Gettleman wasted 3 million on him He shoulda known he was done last year. He also wasted a signing on kaelin butterfingers clay who they just waived.

Yes, I loved Otah. thought he was going to be great for years. such a let down. But did you learn to not have date night on a draft day? lol

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
