Peter King - deal Williams or Stewart for 1st round pick

...deal the first-rounder, 22nd overall (from New England), to Carolina, without a first-rounder right now, for one of its backs. Interesting. If it's Jonathan Stewart, I'd do it. I'm a little worried about the injury bug biting DeAngelo Williams.

Is it just me, or is that a bit insulting? A late 1st round pick for one of two of arguably the top 5 RB's in the NFL right now? I would hope the Panthers would never deal one of them for a pick that crappy, unless someone just incredible is left on the board at that point.

Nobody trades first round picks for players that play a position that has the shortest career lifespan anymore

But teams do pick running backs in the first round...and with a guy like Stewart who has a low amount of mileage and still a high amount of upside, a team would be crazy not to consider it if they had several other draft picks and running back was a big area of need.

OK, you know what JStew and DWill can do... let's just hypothetically say we did do what King is suggesting and got a first round pick... what do you get with that? An unknown commodity that may or may not be a good player who most certainly would be an inexperience and untested rookie... vs. a top-3 back in DWill or a top-10 back in JStew... King is a dumbass.

injury bug? deangelo has stayed injury-free for the vast majority of his career. if anything, j-stew is the one to be worried about.

Stewart doesn't miss games. Last time he missed a game was his freshman year at Oregon.

I would take a first round pick for either player, though I think Stewart has more upside to the Panthers (younger, hasn't missed a game yet, longer time left on his contract).

Remember, you are going to have to pay DeAngelo when his contract expires. Why not parlay that into another first round pick and get the services of another stud RB for a few years on the cheap?

      We have seen Bryce get outplayed by all manner of QBs, from UDFAs to second round picks.  If we actually scouted any QBs it would not be a difficult task to upgrade from Bryce, you guys act like he is even decent. He is one of the worst starters league wide stop making excuses.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
