I don't think Stewart has gotten the buzz he deserves in this camp. Maybe its the Cam and Kuechly effect. I can't recall him ever looking better. I predict big things for him this season, and my prediction is as follows

1400 yards rushing
8 TDs

So here's to you JStew, keep on truckin.

Unless we really commit to the run I have a hard time seeing anyone eclipse the 1,000 yard mark based solely on limited touches due all the weapons we have.

Don't get me wrong, I certainly think he's capable and would easily hit that as a feature back, but he'd have to double last year's production with yet another ball carrier in the backfield.

While I do think we'll run more to shorten games and control the clock I don't think it'll be that drastic of an increase. Only way he hits those marks is of DLo goes down.

That huge O-line we have, I think they will lean on the ground game alittle more. I think last year was just a baptism by fire for Cam. I also believe that we will come out and pound the ball against Tampa because they will be playing the pass.

Chud/Norv believe in the pass. We likely pass slightly more this year. Newton's running will keep the pass attempts down some but nothing about Chud's history background says Carolina wants to be move closer to around 30th in pass attempts. If we pass less, that what would be happening

Won't this be Stews first preaseason opening game?

Yes, I think you're right. He's been nursing an injury since we drafted him but has always been able to play for the regular season games. That toe injury doesn't seem to have limited his production, if it did, we're in for a treat.

Zod as it applies to me I am assuming Stew will be great.....no question about it. I think other than the Cam craze others are just looking for guys stepping up in areas we need to address .What bothers me is the lack of national attention he gets.Here is the most elusive rb in the NFL according to Football outsiders and NFL fans know very little about him.

    • I am optimistic that we might be on the verge of fielding a sustainable offense finally. The Bryce stats listed above are definitely encouraging. I don’t want to overly inflate this and disregard the previous 1 and a half seasons of production from Bryce and “cherry pick” stats but do hope the benching turns into an inflection point in his trajectory.      Lots of excitement heading into this season. 
    • Summary The 2024 Carolina defense posted a 44.9 grade last year, which was the worst in the NFL since 2020. They also had the worst receiving grade in the NFL despite a QB that emerged in the second half of last year. TMac is most likely WR1 in this class and is now WR1 in Carolina He's going to be incredibly helpful on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone. Highlights show just that: First highlight is Arizona vs. Utah. 4 verts vs. cover-0, TMac lined up alone on a go ball vs. press = we're launching it Second highlight shows his potential as the X. Runs a backside in-cut and the Tampa-2 MLB sells out on the corner route, leaving his back to TMac. Tough over the middle, explosive after the play. Sees TMac doing a lot of what Mike Evans was asked to do in Tampa. Third highlight shows how effective TMac is in the redzone and it's his one-handed catch vs. Travis Hunter. Brings "indefensible plays." Has size advantage that can beat guys, can jump, and has ridiculous hands. Will help Bryce in year 3 as it will allow him to continue playing "fearless" like he did after coming back from benching. Highlights show where TMac fits and re-emphasizes how he's going to make things easier on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone: Fourth highlight shows Bryce vs. ATL when he hit AT vs. AJ Terrell down the sideline. Bryce has to hold the single deep safety during his drop to give Thielen a chance (who is only 4yds off of the LOS when Bryce is throwing it). Registers the big-time throw attacking vertically. Fifth highlight is vs. KC on a blitz where Bolton is coming downhill while Karlaftis is dropping back over the middle. Has an in-route that has outside leverage with Chris Jones applying immediate pressure. Layered it over Karlaftis' head for the completion. Sixth highlight is the fade route TD to David Moore vs. Zona. in the redzone. David Moore was the X on this play. Thought this was interesting, especially considering recent conversations about Bryce's intermediate game needing to be better:
    • Nah its Rod Brindamour 0-11 in the Eastern Conference Finals under him.....   Three trips in seven years Zero WINS in the third round.
