When evaluating running backs across the league, I have a hard time finding a back -- outside of Adrian Peterson -- who is more physically gifted than Jonathan Stewart.

Stewart has displayed flashes of greatness and appears poised to join the elite at his position in 2011. His combination of power, speed, elusiveness, balance and vision is about as good as it gets, and Stewart can be effective inside or on the perimeter.

It’s worth noting that I’m writing this with the assumption that fellow running back DeAngelo Williams, a potential restricted free agent, will be playing elsewhere this season. There is talk that Carolina would like to bring Williams back, but it seems more likely the Panthers will funnel their resources toward defensive end Charles Johnson or a receiving weapon like Zach Miller, Malcolm Floyd or Sidney Rice.

And while the Panthers have more than their fair share of problems on offense, adding mobile quarterback Cam Newton could help the running game. Consider how much more dangerous Tennessee’s Chris Johnson was when Vince Young was his quarterback. Philadelphia’s LeSean McCoy certainly benefited from having Michael Vick in the same backfield.

Sidney Rice? Where is that talk coming from? Did I miss something?

It's free agency man. You gotta throw too much money at somebody.

Diva Status permits dismissal of such trivial things, like practice.

That's a great point and all, but I'm going to have to go ahead and ban all Allen Iverson related posts at this point . . . to be safe.

I'm being Sarcastic. He's always had some type of "injury" to prohibit him from practicing.

Yeah, but I'm saying we go with it. He's too talented to be breaking our own guys tackles in practice. It's just going to demoralize the defense. Detrimental to the whole team.

A quick look at FAWRs...

Steve Breaston

TJ Houshmandzadeh

Throw some money that'a'way.

I'd actually prefer Rice to those two, but as long as we overpay somebody who's role is quickly marginalized by the development of Gettis, Lafell, Edwards, and Pilares, I will be happy.

I'd feel a lot better about his superstar ability if he was healthy enough to practice a couple times.

Yet he doesn't miss games.

D. Williams has had more issues staying healthy. Fact.

I don't share your concern, specially since stew doesn't have health issues (knock on wood).

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      He had a turnover on all three goals he was on the ice for. Plus he had that god awful delay of game penalty. Like legit his GS actually shows he was the cause of the loss and he was only on the ice for 12 minutes. You remove him from that game and the Canes win or at worst go to OT.  Let's put this in perspective, in 12 minutes he directly led to 3 goals against. In the 48 minutes without him on the ice it was an even-steven 2-2 game and that's disregarding that god awful delay of game penalty that led to goal number 4 of the 5 given up.      I don't see how anyone could say that he didn't directly lead to the loss.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      reality is the piling on of Frank Reich is just the standard huddle angle we take of putting all blame on someone after the fact.   as I was an OG Frank hater before it was cool to be......now the swing goes too far the other way and people will claim me is as a Frank defender.  Frank Reich was the definition of a .500 middle of the road NFL coach.  He technically was a winning coach and above .500 coming here but he is and was NFL average.  we were the biggest joke in a decade.....because they paired Frank Reich (a dude who was going to do what he does in the NFL) with a dude who couldn't do NFL basics and Frank was forced to play him.  That's not Frank being a loser.  That a bad org around Frank.

      Toronto is less physical than us, and they took them to 7  I really wish they would have won, because we match up better with them, but we have to deal with what we got  What worries me is Svech trying to take out Bob, that is desperation, that's what you do when you feel like there is no legit options left, it's what I feared, Bob is still in our core groups head, and they are over thinking, over passing Hopefully that changes tonight
