Rivera- "Stewart to practice... Could play Thursday"

[nosuchthingasapanther]

Running Back by committee is bs we need a back who is #1 guy that can and WANTS to take on the load of carries

 

every running backs wants to be the man, but rbbc has been the panthers' MO since davis and foster.

[Bishop]

Let Stewart bruise em and tire out that defense. Then let Deangelo burn em in the 4th

[MichaelNewtonII]

Williams isn't a #1 RB at this stage. We need to run a committee.

He is just an average RB.

Not saying that Williams is that #1 RB who needs to carry the load, im just saying we need an aplha male at rb for once who has the will and want to take 30+ carries a game if necessary

Williams, Stewart, Barner, Tolbert? Ask any one of them if they are up for 20 something carries a game.....they all want the ball

Our rush game right now is middle of the road....in terms of what our RBs are doing.

I think getting Stew back for Thurs would greatly benefit us on a short week.

[Darth Biscuit]

Are you 100% positive Stewart could not do better?

 

 

100% no.  But JStew is a different type of runner than DWill, less of a "wait and see what develops" kind of guy.

 

I think JStew has a chance of more production behind our not so great O line.

so apparently nfl.com thinks we are playing Rams week 9...

EDIT

they corrected it the minute i screenshot it.. lol

The surgery he had was specifically to prevent future injury. If he rehabbed well I expect him to come back strong. We need him to be the future of the backfield with 4 years left on his contract.

[Squirrel]

Sweet fresh legs!

[CRA]

Biggest issue with Stewart or Barner....neither has been hit in awhile.

I still think RR screwed up last week. Barner should of gotten in late and taken some reps.

[SOJA]

I'd love me a screen play to J-Stew

[88 Bronco]

Idon't care if we split carries between 10 running backs as long as it equals wins. The idea of one guy being the rb is dying in the NFL,

This is what excites me. J-Stew is an animal, even when he's not healthy. If he fully recovered, our rushing attack could be 2x more effective than it is now, IMO.

 

I agree. Stewart brings so much more to the table than Dwill. And like you said he has never really been fully healthy. This is a fresh start for him and I hope Shula rewards him with a lot of extra touches if he plays well once he is game ready.

[tondi]

If he plays I just hope he holds on to the ball. We don't beat any ody when we have turnover issues.
