Funny.

I remember watching Williams play in the Pro Bowl last year, not on IR.

And you know full well he wouldn't be on IR this year if it weren't for our 1-10 record.

Has Stewart even been to a TC yet?

You can't let a special back like Williams just walk.

If anything, Stewarts the one you dump in an effort to keep Williams. You'd have to be an idiot to think otherwise.

Stewart is just as talented as Williams. Last year Stewart's numbers was better than Williams. But Williams is the starter. That's why he went to the Pro Bowl. How would the league look if they was to send the backup RB to the pro bowl.

The career stats tell a different story and Willams missed 3 games last year. In the meantime, Stewart's potential longevity has to be questioned with the chronic injury problems he's had since coming into the league.

The only edge Stewart has on DeAngelo at the moment is age and that may not be enough to justify letting DeAngelo go.

The reality is you need two backs in this league to be successful. The days of having one running back do all the work is long gone. The only exception right now is CJ and you could argue he isn't having as good of a year b/c he doesn't have any support. You can say whatever you want about Stewart or Williams. The reality is they are both great backs. When our OLine is opening holes, you would be hard pressed to find a better more dominant duo. Williams the slasher and Stewart the power runner.

Getting rid of either one of these players at this point doesn't make sense. If you had to pick someone to let go to free up $, I say let Smith walk because he has already past his peak. Granted, Smitty past his peak is still better than 90% of the receivers in the league. With all the cap money we should have next year, I wouldn't let anyone go. This is the only way I have been able to get through this year knowing we have a lot of talent on this team and we are only a QB, head coach, and offensive coordinator away from being good again. I honestly believe this.

DeAngelo has started to have injuries after a few years in the league, Stewart came into the league with an injury and has never been able to put it behind him... that's a major red flag.

So the fact that williams misses games with injury even with Stewart there to take the pressure off him isnt a red flag? Is everyone gonna keep trying to use Stewarts injury history as a criticism while ignoring the fact that Deangelo is on IR and has missed games every year he's been in the league? I guess that only matters when we're talking about Stewart.

Injuries are part of football. Every starting RB gets injured. For me, it just seems like Stewart had a lot of mileage and baggage out of college. Stewart is too young to be already making a habit out of not practicing in training camp or in weekly practices.

Being a starting running back v. a back-up is a big difference. Stewart in my opinion is not nearly as effective as a starter. He gets a lot of his yards in the 2nd half after Williams has tired the defense out. Not saying he can't tire the defense out on his own, but I don't think power runners can do this over the long haul and stay healthy. Marion Barber is the perfect example. He was never the same after they made him a starter.

Well I was arguing his Pro Bowl Statement but if you want to be technical about it. I agree with the guys that say that RB is easy to replace. All you need is a offensive line and a decent RB. Other edges is that we are talking about a business and Stewart and Goodson is cheaper than Williams and Stewart. To me it makes no sense to put that kind of money in one position when we need to put it in the offensive line. And Williams have had injuries the past 2 years. That sort of puts him on the injury block also.

As a fan i'd love to see him and Stewart together forever but as a business mind I see more risk than reward

williams missed 3 games his rookie season.

he has missed games in 3 out of 5 seasons.

of course, that's not a reason to be concerned because this is deangelo williams we're talking about.

Getting injured during the course of a season and put on IR is one thing, coming into the league as a rookie HB with an achillies injury that you can't put behind you is another... it raises valid concerns about your longevity.

I love me some JStew, but you have to consider his chronic achillies injury when thinking about whether or not he can be the bell cow for the next few years.

the reason stewart is so good is because of deangelo williams. likewise, the reason deangelo williams is so good is because of jonathan stewart. not only does the change of pace at RB keep each one rested, they have a camaraderie that's rare for players at their position.

i'm willing to bet jstew is a huge part of why deangelo doesn't want to leave carolina.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      If Reich or Fitterer were still around I think the need to extend Young because of what he cost would be stronger.  And yeah Morgan was Fit's right hand when the call was made but there an equal chance that Dan will see it as a chance to move on from Fit and shake off that stink. Holding out some hope that 3 years and clear eyes will allow for an honest appraisal that Young just aint the guy

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
