The Facts: Stewart never stopped walking during the five minutes it took to get from the practice fields to the stadium following Tuesday's workout. But Stewart did stop the conversation when it got to how many carries he might lose to first-round draft pick Christian McCaffrey. "Stop talking about that. Who cares?" Stewart said. "We want to win the Super Bowl, right? That's the bottom line. It's not about people getting carries. It's not about people getting catches or touchdowns. It's about what can you contribute to get us to the Super Bowl."

Diehards Line: Much has been made about McCaffrey's versatility and speed since Carolina made him the eighth pick of the draft. But don't expect the 30-year-old Stewart to be pushed to the side. The Panthers didn't extend his contract through the 2018 season so he could ride the bench. Remember, Stewart knows what it's like to be in McCaffrey's shoes. He was the so-called "other back" in 2008 when the Panthers made him the No. 13 pick with 2006 first-round pick DeAngelo Williams entrenched as the starter. The Panthers went 12-4 that season with Williams rushing for 1,515 yards and 18 touchdowns and Stewart adding 836 yards and 10 touchdowns. A year later, they became the first pair of backs on the same team to rush for more than 1,100 yards in the same season. Stewart and McCaffrey would offer a similar dynamic with Stewart being more of a first- and second-down power back and McCaffrey a quicker change-of-pace back that also can contribute on early downs and play slot receiver. And with McCaffrey added to the mix along with a few other new weapons, the Panthers could return to the productivity they had in 2015 when they led the league in scoring.
