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.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.
