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.

      Would you just fuging quit trying to make us like him? That is his job, not yours.  Thank you.

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
