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

[panthers55]

Do you think being put on the injury list every week would bother NE. They did it with Brady for years and like Stewart he played .

[beastson]

Lol I didn't predict the future

I'm just asking what if he dont, because one thread on here... I think a Memphis alumni or he from Little Rock... was saying how he knows it kills D.Will to split carries cause of his competitive demeanor. And how he might pursue free agency to be a possible number 1 somewhere else. He brought up how Johnson carries much of the load this year unlike previous years and how he got what he wanted

[CatMan72]

Understood.

Something tells me that Fox wont be concerned with aquiring picks/saving money and building for the future long-term when he's only working on a one-year deal at the moment, anyway. I don't see either back going anywhere, though we shouldnt dismiss the idea of trading away one when it could benefit.

Good point, his primary concern will be to come out of 2010 looking as good as possible... and it's a better bet to stick with proven guys like Williams and Stewart vs. draft picks.

[CatMan72]

Wow!! Someone with some sense on this board. I swear all these "Panther Fans" just want us to have a 1st round pick on draft day so they won't be bored. Also, I still cannot believe that most of you would want to trade DWill if we had to trade one. DWill is a top 5 back Stewie isn't, so what I'm tryin to say is DWill is the better RB.

LOL, I want a first round pick - but not at the price of one of our only two consistent offensive weapons. Look what happened to the Giants when they broke up Earth, Wind and Fire... they thought Ward was expendable, they didn't realize how much the other two guys relied on his presence.

[beastson]

Good point, but Stew is better than all of them

They drafted Andre Brown to fill the void of Ward but he got hurt

Right, so what happens to us if we trade one of these guys and the other gets hurt?

(Answer: we're screwed)

[nosuchthingasapanther]

BTW... Do you not recall Stewart being pulled that last game because he was injured/winded?

winded? no.

injured? eh...maybe. he did admit that he "re-tweaked" his achilles during the game, but he was walking around just fine. team doctors have said that the aggravation was nothing serious.

i'm sure if somehow or another the saints were able to make the game competitive, stewart would have played thru his injury with no problem.

Stewart, Sutton, Goodson

[Gman was right]

I dont like Peter King but I dont think this is a totally stupid idea. Like someone said Williams is going to be a FA after next year plus he'll be 28. Why not get something good for him now when we're going to have let either him or Stewart walk for free eventually?

Aside from Jay Williams when Fox first got into town in 2002, a drunk arrogant bastard (Sauerbrun), and a person that vocally lashed out at the internal structure of the Panthers organization (Jenkins), please provide me with any example of a player that the Panthers have traded in the Fox/Hurney era...

You cannot because it hasn't happened...

Now please provide me with an example of the Panthers trading away a player the caliber of Stewart, Williams, or Peppers...ever...

Same as the example above... you can't... Jenkins may be the closest, but he isn't on that level... and he had issues with the team as a whole...

[CatMan72]

Stewart, Sutton, Goodson

No, you mean Sutton, Goodson because Williams is traded and Stewart is hurt.

Both Sutton and Goodson have had flashes, but I'm not ready to turn the offense over to them yet.

Good points, you basically have to make this team trade you (Jenkins) if you are a top level talent. This is consistent with the Panthers stated philosophy which is to have the players they draft retire as Panthers.
