Gantt says we will let Dwill walk in 2010.

Gantt has become my least fav writer at this point.......

Jonathan Stewart saved the Carolina Panthers on Sunday night.

He might save them even more in the future, even if it's at the expense of his buddy DeAngelo Williams.

Stewart's ability to be the Panthers' bell cow running back on short notice — and shorter practice — against Minnesota opens a box full of questions the Panthers will have to answer a year from now.

you only quoted the first few lines of the article. anyone too lazy to read thru it will think he's refering to stewart being the reason why carolina would consider letter williams go after 2010...when that's not true.

I was waiting for you to come in and say something :D

He didn't say we were going to let him go, merely raised the question of whether it was an option. For me it is a clear option under certain circumstances. What if Williams wants to break the bank?

Do we know who the coach is going to be and how much they are going to value our double trouble rushing attack. I can't see Hurney letting him go. On the other hand if we have new staff and management, we might be in the middle of a big switch in philosophy and resultant roster rebuilding.

I don't think anyone wants to lose Williams and we will do what we can to keep him. Lets see what happens by this time next year. Until then all of this is speculation way ahead of the fact. We might look very much the same or very different depending on who is at the helm.

i was actually in the middle of typing a fairly indept post about this article before i saw this one.

I gained a lot of respect for Stewart in the last couple of weeks. I think the plan with this regime was to have him compete with d will and become the starter over him but that never happened. Now if williams comes back with another huge season and not injured during a contract season I am not sure what the FO will do. I for one am a big D-will fan but am a little skeptical J-stew can do it on his own.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
