Actually a lot of people were saying exactly that about Williams.

Mostly before Stewart went down and Williams started averaging 6-7 ypc.

maybe i'm reading your post wrong, but...

the past 4 games without stewart, williams has averaged 3.9 ypc.

in the 6 games that stewart has missed all season, williams has a 3.6 ypc average.

Does anyone know the details on Stewarts Option bonus? I know he got around 9 million in a Signing Bonus, Then another 9 million on an option bonus due in 2014. Another 6 million of his contract isn't earned yet. He can be cut with a hit of around 7.2 million, it does cost the team 4.4 million next year but saves the team the 9 million option in 2014 and around 27 million over the next 5 years. If they split it over two seasons it looks a lot better. Williams getting cut makes a lot of sense as well.

A possibility that Stewart might be out because his contract is easier to get rid of by the looks of it. Getting rid of Stewart and Williams now would save the team over 50 million dollars over the next 4-5 years. Leaving Tolbert, Smith and Poole left on the team. Gets the team some extra money to help rebuild the team in some critical areas, add that to Anderson, Beason, Gross and Gamble's deals being reworked or released and it might fix the cap issues in a year or two.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
