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.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By frankw · Posted

      Yeah I find myself flipping between the worst case scenario of Bryce either playing just mediocre enough for our decision makers to justify giving him a contract extension in their eyes because they want to justify drafting him. Or Bryce going back to playing poorly and us having no one else to fall back on because Pickett might be decent for one or two games but there's no one else and our locker room starts to get ugly because we went all in with our salary cap and guys careers are on the line. This scenario which IMO is the higher probability given our schedule and the amount of tape out there on Bryce is why I say if we can trade down and acquire a few more mid or late round picks we should draft a developmental QB. Not looking for a guy to be the savior but someone with the necessary physical tools and who could actually run a QB sneak. But we'll just have to see how it shakes out. I just want a competitive team but the last thing I want is the season to fall apart because we once again threw our arms up in regards to the QB room.

      ^This. Rico was dynamite when we needed it last season, but not enough to keep but it massively upped his earning potential. It was a win-win for both sides. And he was there to cover the hole left by the injury to another RB, and hopefully his release to free agency means there's good news for us on the way. These new ones give us the opportunity to do that again, on the offensive line and elsewhere. We've got some long term question marks here and there due to injuries and age, and these players have a chance to up their value on the open market or settle down with us if the opportunity arises. And none of it ties us down with dead money down the road if it doesn't work out. And we've been in dead money hell for a decade now. Lease the ones you like, buy if you fall in love.
