As a hardcore Panthers fan, it is difficult for me to submit this idea, but the reality is we can't keep both DeAngelo and Stewart in the long run. If we try, the chances are we will lose one of them to free agency and not get anything in return for them. (Like we did with Peppers) Also, the way things are going now, their value might depreciate the longer we keep them. An average life of a good running back is around four years.

Here is my thinking, Goodson showed he can be a number one running back. So we promote Goodson to number two, and trade away one of our current number one and two backs. I believe Williams contract is up after this season, someone correct me if I'm wrong. Williams may be the more durable back, so I say we re-sign him and trade Stewart for a 1st round pick in the upcoming draft.

I'm reluctant to trade either of them. Deangelo is amazing and proved his worth to me even more this season. The thing is if you trade Stewart and the guy gets healthy he will be a dominant player. We have not seen the full potential of JStew. Not saying he necessarily will be 100% but the risk is there for him to make us look stupid. We have the best back field in the league and they aren't the reason we're losing right now.

none. no change should be made to the RB corps. there is no benefit to the team by letting any of them go. you only make the team weaker and for what? bad idea to mess with one of the few strengths of the team. leave it alone and build up the other parts.

I would like to see what these backs can do for the rest of this season. Part of the reason they are struggling now is because of the o-line, and because we got rid of Hoover. Yet with Goodson, I think we could safely trade away one of these guys.

as long as they don't pay DeAngelo a lot then keep them all. Maybe him getting hurt this year and having lousy production will benefit us in the long wrong.

This is what's going to eventually happen. If DeAngelo comes back this season and tears it up, two things will happen. One, I will be extremely happy, and two, DeAngelo will want to see some money coming his way. If J-Stew comes back and have a big season, he too will want a big contract. I see Goodson potentially being a better number two guy then J-Stew or Williams down the road. If we trade one of them now, we will get top compensation for them for less money. I think we would get a mid-to-late first rounder for Stew.

Williams + Goodson > Williams + Stewart

...potentially

nah, people are letting the first few games of this season hold too much weight.

Stewart is a beast. Mike Goodson nor DeAngleo can run over people like Stewart did against the Giants last season. He needs a hole to get the ball rolling. Once it is in motion there isn't a RB on this roster capable of that.

Stewart also has a couple seasons on his contract so he is going to be part of the group regardless the next couple seasons.

      Bryce Young Game Winning Drives

      By KaseKlosed · Posted

      Bryce Young has recorded 4 game-winning drives through nine weeks, leading the Carolina Panthers to crucial victories in tight contests. The 12-play, 58-yard clock-killer versus the Packers in Week 9 (16-13 upset). This pace positions him as the team's most clutch performer in years, with a 68.4% success rate on go-ahead drivesalready surpassing many franchise benchmarks early in his career.   Young's early 2025 surge (top-5 league-wide in clutch EPA at 0.28 per dropback) not only outstrips the debuts of Newton (2 in 2011) and Delhomme (1 in 2003) but hints at him climbing this list quickly if the Panthers sustain their wildcard hunt. Data underscores his growth: no other Panther QB hit 4 GWDs before Week 10 in a season.   The energy fans pour into the stadium directly shapes Bryce Young’s performance positive support has been shown to elevate his fourth-quarter efficiency by 12%, strengthening team cohesion and execution under pressure. Criticizing or booing the starting quarterback fractures morale, disrupts focus, and undermines the very resilience needed in clutch moments. When fans stand firmly behind their QB and team, they become a true home-field advantage, amplifying performance and accelerating the path to sustained success. Now are you a Carolina Panther fan or a Panther hater?

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      Bryce would have extended some plays scrambling with his legs but then again he also has a high number of fumbles so you never know what you're going to get and the way the Bills were getting after Andy (sacked 7 times) it stands to reason Bryce would have been under duress often. What exactly do you want here? I mean I'm going to go by the gameplan I saw after Bryce turned the ball over against GB. Clearly Dave Canales was deliberately trying to limit the opportunities for him to make a catastrophic mistake. And didn't Micah Parsons log zero QB pressures? So with that in mind if you are asking for anyone to argue our offense with Bryce would have had much if any success against that opportunistic motivated Bills defense while we were also splitting carries between Rico and Chuba who had the majority of them which ended up being a situation resulting in a weeks worth of scathing criticism and deservedly so then I'm going to just have to say we can agree to disagree.
