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 strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
