Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart just passed along word to the world via his twitter account (link) that he was having foot surgery today.

No surprises here, but I think it raises flags against both our backs health. So those misguided fools who wanted to trade either of them, need to be aware that all teams will be cautious on their injuries.

Frankly, with both carrying problems this season, it would be nuts to move into next season with just one feature back.

He also mentions bits about the coaching holes.

Health of both our backs? Williams had a high ankle sprain at the end of the season....there is no question about his health.

Although, I do agree with you that we should not trade either of our backs.

Meh, it does not matter what the injury is, it was still missed time. You get players who manage to play their entire careers without having major injuries and play through minor injuries.

You get players who get few injuries, but the ones that are serious.

You get players who get minor injuries through their careers.

The point is, that both backs were struggling with injuries down the stretch this season and considering the unpredictability of the NFL, it would be insane to trade one away. It does not matter what the injury is, just that there was one.

Not sure that I would call one high ankle sprain an "injury problem" though.

Stewart, while doing everything we have asked, is most certainly still a big question mark as far as durability goes... For those that argue otherwise, please note how many weeks he didn't practice all week and how many times he was listed on the "Probable" list... Sometimes it was just to give him some rest, but a young back like him, if healthy, shouldn't need that much rest... Both that fact and his running style are going to limit his career length, and the teams that would trade for him know this just as much as we do...

to inject some truth into stewart being "injury prone"...

despite a list of injuries that would probably sideline most backs, stewart has missed 2 games in his 3 seasons at oregon and none so far in the nfl.

that's 2 games in 5 seasons.

the kid has proven he is able to perform, and perform at a high level, despite being less than 100%.

I wasn't saying he hasn't... I was more or less using that as how other teams would view him for trade purposes...

Never understood people suggesting DWill is injury prone, especially in College. He ran for over 6000 yards in 4 years at Memphis. He's proven over and over he's durable along the lines of Emmitt Smith. A high ankle sprain can happen to anyone and if necessary I bet he wouild have run the rock the last couple games this year but they were meaningless.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
