I find this article by Mike Florio pretty funny.

How many games has Stewart missed in his career vs Dwill.

Honest question, I haven't looked it up.

Since 2008 when Double Trouble was created

DWill 13 missed games

Stewart 2

[PantherBrew]

I hate to even say this, as so many excuses are built into your counter argument already..

Pats - Superbowl

GB- Playoffs

Atlanta - Playoffs

Panthers - 6-10

Are you serious with this?

We had a rookie QB, and an awful/injured defense. Oh yeah, those were veteran teams that weren't as affected by the lockout.

All I am saying, is give this unit a chance.

You know Chud is not stupid, so if he felt like he needed more receivers or tight ends, he probably would have gotten it instead of Tolbert.

GB had an equally bad Defense, Atlanta was pretty average., Pats D horrible as well.

They do have however a ton of WR talent and average and or aging running backs.

I haven't written them off.

I think we can have very good success pounding the rock when Defense trot out the 3rd and 4th DB b/c they have no earthly idea what Chud is going to do next. I also believe such can be done cheaper and more efficiently cap wise.

People are getting really emotional over a Running Back.

What an a hole. You do realize he takes TD dance request on Facebook, right? Right!?

You take DWill out of this offense and the running game loses its homerun threat. Stewart is great, but hes more likely to run you over than break one 60 yards. Both guys would be 1500 yard 10 + TD guys, if they were the feature back...but in our situation the sum is definitely greater than the individual parts.

[Kurb]

Fair warning, a hissy fit will be thrown if we throw the same money at stewart we threw at dwill.

Yeah, Cam Newton and Stewart can't break off a 60 yarder can they....

Yes, Williams is the most explosive pure runner. But in this offense he doesn't have the reps to be worth the investment (yeah a lot of that is hindsight but it is still true)

[joemac]

Didnt say they cant...Williams is the much more explosive back though. Im not really even talking about Cam though...we know hes not going anywhere.

[Jase]

Why does the OP think that we're who florio is talking about.

New Orleans has 4-5 good backs and they can't keep all of them.

Other teams appear to be hoarding them as well.

i fully expect it (the money to be thrown at him and the hissy fit).

one of those will make me laugh.

What is funny about suggesting that the Chargers may want to trade for a running back?

Bc none of them are a Dwill or Stew, and also Stew is in his contract year. SD and Norv needs to win now, not next year or he'll be either calling plays only as an OC or calling it from the couch at home. So do you think its smart on Norv's term to go and make a trade for a mediocre back in Chris Ivory? Bc I sure doesnt see NO parting way with Mark Ingram, Sproles, or Thomas and they just signed Thomas not long ago to an extension. You could make a case for Thomas, but Thomas is no Stew if Stew gets the chance to be a feature back. If not Stew then they mind as well run it with Ronnie Brown, but best part on Chargers' side is to go and sign Benson.

[thefuzz]

I say we:

Pay Stewart the same contract as DWill.

Extend Thomas Davis.

Draft another linebacker to play in the 43 next year with our top spot.

Keep Captain at the no. 2 CB position.

Count on Edwards to be a stellar DT next year.

And last but not least make sure that we can run the ball effectively in a passing league, with a top arm talent at QB.

6-10.....but hey it's better than the Jags.
