No, not a trade question.

When JStew comes back how are the touches going to be split? Barner is hardly getting playing time as is, how much will he get then?

I'm assuming DeAngelo is RB1 the whole season, barring injury.

Seriously doubt Stewart is up to a heavy workload.

He probably serves as a complementary back, with Barner getting touches here and there.

If the coaching is smart, they'll split based on situational awareness and the ebb and flow of the game.  

 

That being said, I predict anywhere from a 35-60-5 split all the way to a 47-48-5 split, with either back getting the majority on a week by week basis, with Barner and Tolbert getting some token spots.

Traditionally we have had the most success when Stewart pounds the rock in the first half and Williams comes in with fresh legs in the second half.  This won't be likely immediately as Stewart will need time to get back in the swing.  I am kind of worried that things will get muddled and we will have no clear strategy (kinda like the first half of last season).  Sometimes I think it works best for us to have just one featured back, which is why I think we will see one or the other depart after this season.  Maybe Shula can use both wisely...maybe...

If and when he does come back, he will not be in Game shape (hasnt played since mid 2012).Lets do the math.....comes back game 7 according to RR, three or four weeks to get his legs under him...so six games left 2013 season...If we keep crapping the bed we will be playing for nothing by then.It's a wash.

I may be alone on this, but I just can't see Stewart playing this year.  There has been no update on his progress at all, and we all thought he would be good to go by camp and that was far from true.

 

When do we have to take him off the PUP list - after this week?

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      This is always a non-story by the time camp begins.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      By TD alt · Posted

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.

      overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
