Can Stewart Reach 1,000 Yards?

He's got to get 301 yards in 3 games. I think he could get a bulk of that against Denver. I know stats don't really matter, but everyone knows that 1,000 yards has typically been the plateau of an effective season for a RB (although that is not always the case). It would just be awesome if both our backs went over 1,000 yards...

he and williams were neck and neck, both averaging 60 yards a game until arounf week 8 or so when williams started to pull away

ideally we would have another lions/tampa game with denver which would give him around 120 yards or so

a really good game against the giants would be around 60 yards

and then hopefully the saints don't feel like playing spoiler and he gets 120 yards again, if we're not resting him by then

thats a tall order

All I know is we got one hell of a combo back there that when healty I would put up against any others in the league. If he didn't get hurt we would easily have 2 1000 yard backs but this year might be a little tough (though possible). Next year, no problem.

Between the Saints and the Bronco's it's possible. However, if the OL blocks like they did against the Bucs, JAke has a chance at rushing for 1k before the season is over.

OL was the game MVP against the Bucs- no questions asked.

agree'd, williams and stewart made the defense look stupid because mostly they were shrugging off tiny DBs, rarely did the front 7 get their hands on them

After the Washington preseason game, I asked if we would ever have a real game where both our backs went over 100 yards. I, like many, thought it impossible. Not here. Well, it's happed, this season, twice. After years of floundering, a new bar has been set for our running game.

So far, our backs and line have exceeded my expectations, and I would be not at all shocked to see Stewart reach 1000. Traditionally, we have been a team that peaks in December and January, so hopefully the best is yet to come. Do I EXPECT another 300 yard game and Stewart to hit 1000, no. Would I be surprised to see it, not really.

I agree that it is possible but also doubtful. I can't get over how similar these guys are. If they didn't have different numbers it would really be hard to tell them apart when they are running the ball. Both run with power, have shiftiness and good speed when they break into the open. That must be really hard on the defense when they just keep pounding over and over.

What really amazes me is the fact that Foster kept getting the bulk of the carries last year. Did the coaches not see that DWill had what it takes to get the job done? Foster! What were we thinking?!

      I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different. Because again, I'm not assuming major injuries or games missed when I'm putting expectations out there for the season, I'm assuming good health.  If those other 3 WRs combine to miss a lot of time, then yes, he needs to get to 1k in that scenario.

      Last year Thielen had 615 yards in 10 games (had more ypg than his 1k season in 23).  XL had 497 in 16 games with tons of drops and Coker had 478 in 11. They also only had only 192 of our 518 targets to get those numbers. So if Thielen has 1,000 yards again, XL and Coker each improve to say 600 yards each, and T-Mac comes in at 800 yards, you're going to say that's not good enough?  Especially if he ends up with close to, if not getting to, double digit TD's like I think he will, as he's going to be a red zone monster for Bryce? Because if that's the breakdown of just the Top 4 and Bryce plays all 17 games, he's going to be pushing a 4,000 yard season as the TEs, RBs, and other WRs will probably add up to 750-1k yards as well, and I think that would be far more than anyone here could be expecting of him this season. Last year the Giants only had 2 players with more than 331 yards besides Nabers and they were 699 and 573 while Nabers "only" had 1,200 yards (granted in 15 games).  While the Jags second leading receiving was a TE with 411 yards and BTJ also "only" had 1,282 but in all 17 games. Odunze couldn't get there (734 in 17 games) with Moore and Allen there, just as McConkey was able to get there because his competition for targets was Quentin Johnson (711 yards), Josh Palmer (584), and Will Dissly (481) who I think Thielen, XL, and Coker are all better than any of them. If everyone stays healthy and XL/Coker have improved, I think Bryce is going to spread the ball around rather than focus on T-Mac in a way that most of the 1k rookies have been able to get. Again I point to MHJ and the Cardinals last year. They had 3,859 yards receiving.   McBride had 1,146, MHJ had 885, then their 3rd and 4th in rec yards were 548 and 414. Take the 146 and 85 that McBride/MHJ had over my example for our guys and give them to the other two and they get to 7 yards shy of the 1,200 combined yards I'm using for XL/Coker, while the rest of the team added up to 866 yards. So, if you expect T-Mac to get to 1k, where are you taking those yards from? if anything, XL and Coker each getting 600 yards seems like a low projection, so they wouldn't come from there. Maybe they come from Thielen now that we have T-Mac as the true #1.  But I think if anything, having T-Mac draw attention will just make it easier for Thielen to get open and him and Bryce have great chemistry already, he's not going to stop throwing his way if he can pick up easy chunks of yards there. So maybe they come from the RBs, TEs, other WRs, but it's I think a very fair example to show why expecting 1,000 yards if everyone stays healthy isn't necessarily fair to him. It's also why I said I'd then expect at least 1,200 yards in 2026, as once Thielen leave and all 3 of T-Mac/XL/Coker get better, they absorb that 1,000 yards Thielen leaves behind with T-Mac probably taking close to half of it and the other two splitting up the other half.
