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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
