Per Rotoworld:

The Associated Press confirms coach Ron Rivera planned to use Jonathan Stewart as the "clear featured back" in Week 7 versus the Cowboys.

Beat writer Steve Reed notes that Rivera "tried to change things up schematically" to give Stewart a shot "as the workhorse running back." Rivera indicated that other such personnel and scheme changes could be coming this week, though he did not expand on his backfield plans. Stewart played 58 snaps in Week 7 compared to 15 for Mike Tolbert and just five for a benched DeAngelo Williams. If Rivera does want to establish Stewart, it makes sense to give him more than a one-week audition. Stewart is talented enough to turn the Panthers' struggling ground attack around. He should be owned in all fantasy leagues going forward.

I'm on my iPhone so cant link. I think this speaks to what will come in the future. The writing is in the wall for DWill.

Makes sense....

Stewart is in the stage of his career where making him the primary RB gives him the best shot for him to explode.

Williams already had his career year.....years ago. Probably setting the stage to cut him after this year and rid themselves of the over investment at the postion.

i'm ready to move on from dwill...i suppose, or at least resigned to the idea that he won't be around and that the team is moving on.

as long as they can get out of his contract unscathed, i'm fine with it. i'm not expecting much for him, though but the freeing up of $$ will probably make just about anything worth it.

i don't think he's done by any means and he'll probably end up on a team that goes further than the panthers in post season any time soon....and then he'll end up on IR. at any rate, once a player leaves he panthers, i don't really care what happens to them.

      Chad Reuter of NFL.com 4-round mock draft

      If he is BPA, then yes. I am a believer in Dan at this point and hope that he doubles on his strat from last draft.  T-Mac wasnt the biggest need, but at a first round position, over-drafting for need is bad.  We had XL coming back (we didnt know he'd catch rabid Racoon Disease in the offseason and forget how to be even an acceptable WR), Thielen coming back (yes...old AF thielen was a 1k reciever) and Coker coming off a surprising season...if you asked RIGHT AT THIS SAME POINT LAST OFFSEASON if we should draft Defense or T-Mac where we were last year, I guarantee 70-80% would have said "WHY THE fug ARE WE TAKING A RECIEVER!?!?!".  We're getting close, but you build a winning roster by Drafting studs in the first round and depth after, and Studs dont come from "Well we needed a Long Snapper", they come from "I dont care if we don't need a Receiver, That dude is THE DUDE"

      I honestly don't care about NBA talent. Our last championship team was light on it. The team that went to the title game was light on it. I wanna win college games. I haven't watched a full NBA game in probably 15 years. I barely remember one and doners, whether their ours or elsewhere. It's one of the reasons why my hatred of duke has cooled. Their players don't hang around long enough for me to even know their names.

      Should hopefully pick up a half-game on the Sixers and Heat tonight. Also possibly the Hawks and Magic. 🐝🐝🐝
