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.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
