jonathan stewart - countdown to 1000 yards and other pointless stats to ponder


Recommended Posts

he needs 491 yards in 6 games to hit the 1000 yard mark. that's 81.8 yards per game.

contrary to the concerns of some about stewart "stealing" carries from williams, he's on pace to have less rushing attempts than he did last season while williams will have more. he's going to need some big games in order to hit the mark.

he's already surpassed brad hoover on the (very young) all time panthers' rushing leaders list. another 126 yards and he will be ahead of nick goings. 451 yards will bump him into the number 6 position above anthony johnson.

with 209 yards, he will have a better second season than all of the panthers' all time leading rushers with the exception of anthony johnson.

192 yards will give him a better freshman/sophomore year total than any panthers' RB.

some day stewart will get a shot at the starting position. it'd be nice to see what the kid can do with additional and more consistent carries.

Let's not forget that he's able to do this because we have another viable threat along side him. Those two guys work in conjunction with one another. So, to say one would do better if he was to get more carries is ignoring this fact. Plus our offense has no air game, we need two running backs to get legs healthy and give the other guy a break.

you'd be hard pressed to convince some people that williams wouldn't be better without stewart.

Both Williams and Stewart will have better careers because of one-another. Welcome to the official era of the two-back system. Defenses have gotten so much bigger, stronger and faster that it's too much punishment for one back to take.

I sincerly hope we hang on to both of them for a long time. If we ever get a passing game to compliment double-trouble we will be unstoppable.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
