Stew has always seemed happy with the Panthers but he's got an ego like every other player. He could easily go to another team and be a feature back. I hope this doesn't end up like the Peppers situation where we never got fair compensation. Better to trade him now and get value.

more than about being a feature RB.....it is about getting paid. He will deserve a bigger contract than Williams got to stay here.

and yeah, this has Peppers written all over it. Lose/lose scenario. Hard to trade him now....he can play for cheap for Carolina this year. Also, another team would have to make sure Stewart will agree to a new deal before taking him on.

I find it interesting that on the Panthers Official Twitter it says.

Panthers sign free agent FB Mike Tolbert.

That is interesting. It is also noteworthy that there were some 2-back sets last year with Stew and Dwill in the game at the same time, so the # of carries is not indicative of actual playing time.

Yeah coach, I want to sign with you guys since you already have two great RB's and a QB that gets all the goal line action, and I tell you what, I will take a million less per season to be buried on your bench somewhere. You sold me.

That is probably the way dinner last night went, don't you think?

This signing probably means we'll see less of Cam running straight at the goal line. And as he progresses, Cam won't have as many runs called for him I would hope.

I like it. It gives us a plan if stewart decides to leave after his contract. But if he chooses to stay, we have three great backs and four great runners on offense. Imagine how defenses have to plan for us now. That is straight up crazy. Tolbert could see more fb this year, you never know. Also, we could try trading Stewart when we can get something out of him then lettin him walk freely like Michael turner or trade dwill instead. If we could get atleast a 2nd for dwill or stewie, I'm for the hell all up for it.

This is just proof that our Team is getting Stronger. Tolbert is that "Other" weapon that Rivera wanted. We had the Best RB's in the League, now they just got BETTER. And ...............(FB) is a huge key in this speculation that Stew is gone. Now we have a 1-2-3 Punch.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
