God I have never seen a fanbase get their panties in a bigger bunch about RB contracts than this one.  Let the damn coaches and personnel executives do their jobs and decide who stays and who goes.  Are they being overpaid for their production right now?  Absolutely.  But there are overpaid players on every damn team in the League.  Get over it.

 

Both Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams have been great Panthers, and no one knows what kind of Panthers (or not) that they'll be going forward. So everyone who's going around calling other people idiots for thinking this, that, or the other will happen regarding our RBs, just STOP.  You don't know what's going to happen anymore than the rest of us do.

 

I, for one, am just going to pull for whoever is wearing the Panthers jersey come Sunday.

Let it go.....this is just the flavor of the day.

 

Same group of posters have to find something to bitch, moan, and compain about every day.  It is the only thing that gets them up in the morning and keeps them from slitting their wrists during the day.

 

We have been bitching about these contracts for two years now.

 

You would think one of them woke up this morning and had an epihany that we have two bad contracts in our RB position.

a little extreme no?

 

the back and forth comes from which rb to keep not that "omg we have two bad rb contracts!" as well as if dlo's numbers are a mirage.

Hes saying Dwill is due 18 million next year, im saying restructure. whats your question?

 

for 2014:

stewart- CAP HIT: $5,496,250 DEAD MONEY: $18,185,000

williams- CAP HIT: $6,000,000 DEAD MONEY: $9,600,000

 

from the barnwell article:

 

Even worse, while Carolina might want to get rid of the two, it doesn't make economic sense to do so. Williams would make $6 million to play for the team next year, but Carolina would eat a $9.6 million dead money charge to cut him. Stewart, meanwhile, will make $5.5 million to play for Carolina or cost a staggering $18 million on their cap if they were to get rid of him. When Stewart's cap hit rises to $8.5 million in 2014, his dead money figure only falls to $12.7 million. The Panthers, on Stewart's current deal, can't even think about cutting him until 2016. These deals are enormous mistakes, and their full impact on Carolina's cap is yet to be realized.

 

stewart's contract is designed so that it makes it almost impossible for us to depart from him regardless of how few games he plays or how ineffective he is in them.

 

that was the hurney brand of loyalty to players that can do serious harm to the overall team.

 

i really don't know how we can get out of it. gettleman might (or some contract genius in here), but from where i sit, we are screwed with both those guys. we need to move on, but we can't.

Well, it's too late to get the money back, not unless Stewart gives out of the goodness of his heart, so need to complain.  

 

I still have hope in Stewart. He is still a talented back. This last injury was just purely bad luck. I am hoping that he gets "healthy" much like Frank Gore has done for the last three years. At least we'd be getting production, just not a bargain.

    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever… 
    • Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.
    • The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
