Fake-Fat Sunny Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Does anybody know what Stewart's current situation is with the Bears? He did go to the Bears right? 248278[/snapback] Stewart was with the Ravens last year and Brian Bilick talked about him as recognizing his role on the team as a back-up (unclear how much of this is true and how much of this was management). “Everybody in the league recognizes you have to have a veteran presence, a guy that knows how to operate in the mode this team is right now. That is, great defense, good solid running game. There’s a certain experience to playing that type of football and he certainly has it. He understands his role, but it’s going to be vital the first part of the season that he’s ready to step in, should something happen to Kyle.” - Brian Billick, Ravens' Head Coach, on Kordell Stewart Oddly enough he wracked up no passing stats last year and also no receiving stats. and I think only -1 yards as a rusher. He appeared in two games byt actually was used as a punter (averaged 30 something yards after a series of disastrous injuries. He's been in the league 10 years and has to know he is on the backside of his career. He has been to the SB before aas a rookie and led the team to an unsuccessul AFC champion ship game. He was considered by the Bills last year and was passed over for Travis Brown and JP and was signed by the times injury hit us. A lot of this depends upon his mindset and the personal relationship with MM. He strikes me as filling the best role for us as a slash, but he balked at this role in his early career whn he saw himself vocally as a QB. His lack of use last year as a QB may set him up well to come in as a disaster QB with a promise of gametime because of the competition we will have over the 3rd WR slot, his familarity with MM, our lack of a reserve RB once Henry gets traded(I like Shaud Williams as a change-up and if he can catch a 3rd down RB, but do not see the little guy as a guy who can take the pounding of starting at RB if for 2 or more games if called on to do so by the injury bug (however neither is Kordelia). If he was simply frustrated by the Ravens situation and needs to play QB (particularly if he is vocal about it,) we should pass. However, if Bilick's words are true and he took to being used even as a disaster punter with grit then bringing him in as a QB behind JP, and someone like Batch may fit well for us.
