Let's talk J-Stew (again)

We've had threads about Steve Smith, and how his career would turn out had he never been stuck with Jake and Jimmy, etc. Some have said they feel sorry for him and that playing for Carolina may cost him a shot at the Hall of Fame.

So what about J-Stew? How would his stats look if he was our main guy and D-Lo wasn't on this team? Will being a #2 on a team that can't figure out how to run, who also has a running QB, effect his career?

How do you think he feels? Sure, he likes playing here and is currently loyal, but he's also human. He wants stats, he wants Pro Bowls, he wants to be the best.

Do you feel bad for him?

I honestly think we should make him the feature back and move from there. Get him more involved until we get a new WR. Olsens great, I love everything about the guy. He's gunna be needed moreso as a blocker from here on out. I feel like smittys lost (maybe) that big play dynamic and would be retarded good in the slot.

No reason to trade him, it wouldn't do any good either. Other teams undervalue him and would most likely get a steal.

We aren't a rotting franchise, a few bad things happened this year. We've been competitive, we've been good and bad. I don't see why we should start over from starting over. Let the bumps and bruises come and go. There does need to be some slight chances, probably up top, but definetely not Stew.

running backs get banged up all the time, it's just the nature of the beast.

stewart's proven he can perform at a high level even at less than 100%. he's only missed 2 games so far due to foot injuries...and i'm willing to bet if fox was still around he wouldn't have missed any games this season.

i for one am tired of the split backfield. there needs to be a clear cut lead and backup. either of these guys would be so much more effective getting 15+ touches a game.

he's more grounded in most and is able to se things from another perspective than most.

he knew the deal when he signed the new one.

if he wanted that other stuff more, he wouldn't have signed the contract.

not so hard to believe that he's actually content in this situation (not with losing, mind you) but with this team and with wiliams sharing the load with him for another few years.

Stewart, like Williams, doesn't mind splitting the carries. It's all about the team, they both make plenty of money and are great human beings.

Stewart would be Ray Rice/LeSean McCoy/Arian Foster status if he was a full time back.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
