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!

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
