Very frustrating that he is injured again and we know that he heals.......real......slow. I think he is gone now and for the playoffs. Just a damn shame that he is never healthy,think he played two games this year or less and I forget how many he played last year. Was hoping that he could go,but as usual....not gonna happen.

Let's just say that RR stated that he is definitely out for Atanta at his press conference. If you read the tea leaves and consider Stewarts past health history and rehab timelines,I wouldn't add him to our depth chart for the playoffs.

He's a beast on the field, but i don't think he's ever been fully healthy nor that he will ever be. I wish we could get out from under that contract. His contract is worse than DeAngelo's. At least DeAngelo can play and he's made some huge plays for us in recent weeks.

Personally, I hope we've seen the last big money RB contract in Carolina. Very few continue to deliver afterwards. Adrian Peterson is an anomaly and a waste of talent in Minnesota. That shows you right there that you don't need a big money RB. Peterson is one of the best ever and the Vikes have mostly sucked with him.

I don't see the justification of keeping Stewart next season

The contract is awful. The cap hit would be huge. Our best bet would be convincing him to retire and working out an injury settlement. No way his agent goes for that though considering the contract. They'd be leaving a lot of money on the table.

Agreed, the best we can hope for is that he feels guilty about taking up a huge portion of the cap and is holding the team back. Maybe he takes a pay cut and wants to be here long term.

However the could be a sense of entitlement to the money, his body has taken a beating over his career dating back to his Oregon days. He may feel he is owed this money and who am I to say he's not. These guys all work for there one big pay day and he got his, to give some back may not be an option to him.

We can't be mad at Stewart because Hurney is a fugging moron. Or can we?

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
