We can wish them good luck, but it's on them to make the most of their opportunity.  Mike Goodson has not done that. He predictably got axed from the Jets.

 

 

Last May -- two months after signing a three-year, $6.9 million deal -- the running back was arrested on marijuana and weapons charges. He skipped training camp. Then he was suspended for four games for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. After returning, Goodson lasted less than two games and just seven carries before he tore his ACL and MCL in Week 6. He was put on injured reserve. He then went AWOL this summer leading to his ultimate release.

 

"We're in the human business," Idzik said of how the team tried to aid the running back, per Newsday. "You can do as much research as you can (but you can't predict certain behaviors)."

Goodson obviously decided to go the way of other potential stars.

It's a shame to waste your God given talent. The fact that he made more than most will make in a lifetime and never took it seriously just annoys me. Commit yourself to what you're doing; there will be plenty of time for goofing off when you retire at 35!

Effort without talent is a depressing situation.  Talent without effort is a tragedy.

This is one of those things that is so frustrating for those of us who were good at football, but not great enough to play in D1 or the pros.

I don't think he is wasting that much talent. He never impressed me much.

He managed to last in the league for a few years when he obviously didn't take it seriously so some people obviously saw potential in him. Imagine his career path if he put the time in.

I wish he could have a dinner conversation with himself in 10 years and see how that would go.

I am pretty sure his future self would choke him out at Ruby Tuesdays.

Odds are if his future self is having a talk with himself at Ruby Tuesdays in 10 years then it'll be while he's bussing a table!

      Official Week 3: Panthers vs. Falcons Gameday Thread

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Decided last minute to to take family to game.  Cheap tickets sec 134 (which is kindof sad in of itself) made the 10 hour roundtrip and glad as hell I did.   - Defense played out of their mind.  Mike Jack smithwade looking at you -Penix is fuging terrible, not worried about him at all - Falcons, wtf were you doing, running when you should be passing and vice versa.  Why the fug didnt you run the ball on us?  - Canales, I get you are green but damn man tighten up your time management  - We won so not going to bag on Bryce too much but yeah man to argue he isnt limited is lol funny - We finally have a kicker and that feels kindof good all things considered - someone earlier mentioned tepper and we didnt see him in the box the entire game, not sure what thats about -Chubba, Sanders and Tet took some absolute monster shots and popped back up, not sure how they do it because it sounds horrific.  Chubba took one right in front of us and he got up laughing.  wow

      My exact list for the shout outs in the same order (though I admittedly had the rookie edges @ #4 and Fitz @ #1)

      We won, but Bryce and Canalas still blow

      By Icege · Posted

      Yesterday was also the first time we saw all three phases of this team play complimentary football during not just Canales' tenure but Young's as well. While he didn't have to light it up through the air, he did spread the ball around to nine different players. TMac's drops hurt, but the team was able to rally still thanks to the defense finally getting to play with a lead. Plus, TMac still had his positive moments like the catch and run as well as the poster-shot he created by climbing the ladder. I hope that this lit a fire under XL. With Tremayne's emergence and Coker coming back from IR in the next 1 - 3 weeks there is going to be less patience with his issues. Let's not forget though the most important thing to watch for: how XL responds to the adversity. Nobody is going to have a perfect career, but how they handle the down lows will be what gives them a chance to get back to experiencing the highs again.
