The Stewart Situation (I know right? Never been discussed before)

Question:

If you were GM and you're sitting in Gettlemans shoes cap & player wise, would you cut Stewart in June and just take the cap hit?

I ask because I think he's great...but it's a waste having him and his contract here. Think about it this way: we cut stew and Godfrey in June and CG's savings cover the JS cap hit. I know that's not how it works but I think we need to just ditch Stewart. We're not trading him barring a restructure and we don't need him to get to 12-4.

On the unquestionably sound and well-researched afternoon program on WFNZ, the babbling moron (Mark or Marc?) personality stated, "I have heard from players that Stewart is considered to be very soft." 

 

Still, we will probably cut DWill and Stew's fate will be determined this year.  Why pay him while he is injured and cut him when he gets healthy?

I thought the idea was to not have our franchise quarterback be our leading rusher again. There are people who actually believe the solution to our run game is to cut our one RB that consistently sees the field? There are no guarantees that Stewart will ever be the same again.

 

I don't think either will get cut this year.

I wouldn't, no. I'd wait until after preseason and see if he a) makes it through healthy or b) still has enough left to play after so much nagging injuries. I wouldn't just go ahead and get rid of him now and take the hit, that puts yourself in a lose-lose situation.

You can't get any savings from cutting Stew this year. It will actually really hurt us to do that.

This is not even a topic with the way his contract is written.

No need to even talk about this.

Thread end.

You missed the point. Given its a hit and not something that saves money, would you still do it. Just asking the question.

If anyone gets cut it will be Dlo.

 

Why? DWill has done a lot more in the past few seasons then Stewart has and he has stayed healthy as well. Who would you get to replace Dwill? Barner wouldn't help much. The guy gets tossed around like a rag doll when he gets hit and Stewart can't stay healthy anymore. So releasing him would not be an option neither.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      Would Morgan or Beason have been HOFers' if injuries hadn't derailed their careers?  I was not a close watcher of the game when Morgan was in his prime but I thought Beason had a few seasons at close to Lukes' level of play.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Franchise QBs feast when things are rolling and the tide that raises boats when things are going sideways.  Bryce isn't that. He's a complimentary player, that's it.  When the defense and STs are on point, he plays loose and it shows.  When we are in a dog fight and things haven't gone our way, he struggles.  It's that simple. He's not a horrible QB, but he's not top tier either.  So the question begs, is this worthy of a second contract?  The answer should be no.  It definitely is my answer. Bryce will never be a QB that can produce wins largely on his arm.  That's a FRANCHISE QB, any other QB is simply a placeholder at the starter's position until that guy can be found.   At some point the excuses of lack of weapons will be a straw man.  Heck, it's nearly there now.  I mean if he doesn't look even better than last year will we blame it on the TE position?  'Well if Bryce only had a player like Kelce, Kittle or Gronk on this team...'  Are we really going to do that?

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By MHS831 · Posted

      When I arrived at college, I was 18, not too much younger than some of these draft picks.  It was not a huge school, but there were guys on the team who were 21, 22, 23....playing ahead of me.  I was seventh on the depth chart.  Those guys have been through a few seasons, were stronger, more knowledgeable.  I was a better raw player than some of them, but those other factors matter.  As I grew stronger, more familiar with the playbook, and learned what it was like to play in college, I gradually improved and with that, I rose up the depth chart.  It took most of my freshman year for the light to come on.  Had the coach thrown me into the starting lineup day 1, I would have probably failed.    And that was college.  So I agree with you based on my experience on a much lower level.  Frankly, I think that is why so many kids drafted to fill huge gaps bust.  The teams are desperate.  Anyone who looks to fill vacancies in the starting lineup through the draft is desperate.  You draft depth to develop.  For this reason, I say, "Let Walker start for a while."  Maybe Brazzell can be our WR 4.  Throw Hunter into a rotation and ask him to do one or two things.  Freeling needs some strength and he needs to work on run blocking.
