he will want to be here and the panthers can afford him. same with stewart. as long as both of them are able to be successful here they will have a long life in the league. they go somewhere else where they will have 70+% of the load and they will be in the league for another 5 years.

best opportunity for them is here. neither guy is greedy. they make each other better. they know that. they will stay and the panthers will work to keep them around.

You think that???

I think any RB wants to carry the load.He wants the ball in his hands and having another RB with a 1000 yards may not not be the best for Williams himself.It would be best for the panthers to keep both of them but its unlikely we keep both long term.

Honestly, if Williams had the carries that Johnson had, and didn't get injured, I think he could have just as easily broken the 2000 yard mark. However, Williams and Stewart seem to like what we have going right now. Both seem like very "team-first" guys. I know it's unrealistic to think that they would take pay cuts just to stay here, but I think this organization will try as hard as it can to keep them both here.

no YOU think that?

explain then how Williams would take himself out of the game to get Stewart carries, and how he cheered him on when he was going for 1000 yards in the Giants game..these two players are different personas then you might be used to in a RB..sure if makes fantasy football hell to play with them on your team but they have great team chemistry..

absolutely. how could it not be the best for him? that is mileage that he doesn't have to have. that makes for a longer lifespan in the league. how could that not be a good thing?

for many players, i could see this being a big deal but for williams and stewart...i just don't see that as the case. i don't see either one having all that big of an ego. could i be wrong about that? oh yeah but i'm willing to believe that for these two guys we really have an unselfish couple of incredible talents who like working together and realize the long term benefit of being able to split time.

the truth is that there are very few RBs in the league anymore who are carrying 70% of the load. that isn't because there isn't many who can carry the load, it's because teams want to have that load split.

Williams wanted history..to be a 1000 yard duo.What I said was common sense.I dont think both will be here long term.

Because williams is a competitor.He wants the ball in his hands and having another guy with a 1000 yards as his backup will take away from him

I don't think Stewart wants to be 2nd fiddle for the next 3-5 years. He has clearly stated his goal is to be the best RB of all time. At some point, I think he is going to want the load for a couple years......and based on what we have seen from him he will probably deserve that chance somewhere. In a duo getting 40% of the reps.....it will limit what a guy can achieive.

which is why he wants to be in the best situation to get the only thing that matters...that ring. being in this situation with stewart is the best way to get that.

if he didn't want to share the load why would he take himself out of games like he does?

keep on having that cynical view of them. i feel pretty cynical about a lot of things but this is one area that i don't think there is any validity to it.

williams and stewart aren't your typical athletes with $$ in their eyes.

Both want to be great RB.and being on the same team will take away from each other I think they know that and will want to move.like I said Williams wanted to be apart of history of 1100 yard duo.The ball is in the panthers FO court of the one we will keep long term.But I just dont think we will keep both long term when both want to be the best and win.

Would it not be cool if those two got together and said to each other;

"you know man, we have a chance to make records that the NFL has never seen as a RB tandem, we can win Super Bowls together and Pro Bowls together, + we will make both our careers last a lot longer. Lets do this!"

I hope thats the case, because its like having an Emmit Smith who never needs to come off the field.

      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.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
