Goodson

[nosuchthingasapanther]

goodson's real value is as a returner.

that alone is the reason teams would offer anything for him...and why carolina will not trade him.

RB's have become a dime a dozen commodity, easy to find especially with a good OL.

I do not know how many games you watched, but he had about 3-4 quality returns all year... and its not like we were holding teams to 10 points a game. I like Pugh much better as a returner.

If we traded for Denver's 2nd round pick I'db e cool with it.

For a third???

Hell no.

What I saw from him against the Ravens last year, gives me hope. Love the kids speed and vision and the fact that he's beginning to be a real receiving threat.

I'd not part with him for anything less than a very high 2nd. If not that, then I'd keep him

Fumbles Foster part deaux

I would gladly take a third and run sutton

Goodson has more potential than Sutton. And since we have double trouble we can afford to give Goodson time to reach that potential. Yeah he might be more prone to fumbling but if Williams or Stewart goes down you at least have Goodson who can be a home run hitter. He's arguably the fastest guy on the team.

We've got multiple receiving options on this team and I don't want lose any of them. Let's see what the new offense does with him.

Solely depends on what happens with D-Will. If we sign D-Will, then deal him for whatever you can get. If we lose D-Will, we must keep Goodson, unless some idiot owner through a really good deal our way.

Goodsen is a good fit for the run option we are going to implement when Cam gets here :)

This forum cracks me up. Goodson has a couple good games and some now think other teams will be willing to give up draft picks to get him. Also, he hasn't shown he can be trusted because of the fumbles. I don't care if you run for 200 yards - if you fumble you will not be in the NFL long.

Ok Hers the stats on fumbles for all three HB's with Carolina in their first 2 seasons.

Dwill 4 fum 4 lost fum

J Stewart 7 fum 6 lost fum

M Goodson 7 fum 4 lost fum (and this includes kick return fumbles)

So lets drop the wholes fumbling issue and look at what he brings to the table.

Weakness: Spotting blitzs and blocking Sum fumble issues

All of these can be coached and corrected

Strenghts: Speed, Vision, Strength catching, godd size for a HB good lateral movement, Can make quick cuts and regain his top speed quickly.

Are we seeing a parttern here. You dont throw away your insurance plan for an unproven players.

When Dwill and J stewart went down last year it was Goodson that put a spark in the offense. Not Steve smith or King or any other player.

His stats for three games that he was the featured back and the only option we had.

275 yards Rushing on 59 carries thats 4.7 yards average

125 yards recieving on 16 receprions 8 yards per catch

two 100 yard games agaist to the ravens and Tampa bay (who always plays us tuff against the run)

(who always plays us tuff against the run)

Tuff - is a type of rock consisting of consolidated volcanic ash ejected from vents during a volcanic eruption.

Tough is the word you were looking for :dupe:

I don't have the stats but maybe someone can pull them - I don't think Goodson had anywhere close to the number of touches that DWill and JStewart had for your comparison. I hope I am wrong because that would make me feel a lot better about Goodson.
