Not much love for the Panthers in here right now so I'll try to offer some insight. I don't own Stewart.

The line is in shambles. Ryan Kalil has had recurring shoulder issues (right shoulder I believe) for at least 2 seasons now, perhaps longer. Kept him out of several games. Gino Gradkowski is our backup, he's not the worst backup I guess but his lack of experience and the ability to read the defense that a pro like Kalil does really hurts. And last game we even had Chris Scott, a guy who's been on our team off and on and isn't normally a center, play at center. It's a mess.

Then we have Michael Oher out, has been since week 3 or 4 I think, with a concussion. So our super mediocre-to-bad right tackle Mike Remmers is moved to left tackle where he is even worse. In his spot at right tackle is second year Darryl Williams. He's... also bad.

Our strength is the interior with Trai Turner and Andrew Norwell (and Kalil), and at this point I'm using "strength" loosely. Last year our offense played well above their potential at every position, the entire line included. When they were all healthy this year, they still looked suspect.

The last knock against Stew is playcalling. Shula is far too predictable and conservative and really fails to utilize players' strengths. He will try to pound Stewart down the middle over and over and over to no avail, and he has completely failed to make adjustments.
