The 2016 Carolina Panthers (4-8) season continued to spiral out of control on Sunday night in Seattle. Forced to abandon the running game early, Carolina missed an opportunity to evaluate the performance of their running backs for future decisions.
While Stewart has been a mainstay in Carolina for almost a decade, many believe that general manager Dave Gettleman could be looking for his replacement in this year’s draft. Stewart has played in nine of the twelve games, averaging just over 50 yards per contest. However, he has recorded seven touchdowns to this point in the season, the most since his first two years in the league (10).
