I pointed out in one of the training camp tweets that I don’t remember every hearing the front office and other players gushing about a running back to this degree. Neither Williams nor Stewart got this much praise as rookies.

Maybe Goodson is just a bit further along in his development, or perhaps everyone is just excited about his potential to play different positions.

It might be because Stewart and Williams were both first round picks, therefore had higher expectations.

I've been to a few practices and he does look MUCH smaller than Stewart and Williams.

If that’s the case, where was the hype for fellow third-round pick Steve Smith, another speedy guy who was brought in for his potential in the return game? Maybe my memory fails, but I don’t recall Smith being lauded as much as Goodson is now.

My thought of Goodson when he was first drafted was that of a poor man's Percey Harvin. That could be a good thing. Lower expectations and all. I'm thinking he may end up being a faster version of Nick Goings. Solid contributor that on occasion can make some big plays but not a starter.

I also wonder if drafting Goodson, who could sub as a WR and not a FB, allowed the team to go out and draft Fiammett (sp?) as Hoovers eventual replacement. I know a lot of people hate the "player who can play multiple positions" but they do serve a purpose when they are in a backup role.

I think too much hype has been put on him. If he cant be both a KR and a PR really other guys deserve that spot who could. I mean if everyone is so crazy about him cause he could be a WR then why not just have a WR? I have not hear much about Beavers but no one said he dropped any punts ether.... Also Goodson will have to put on some pounds. At 6-0 and 212 pounds Delhomme is bigger then him. Not a guy you want running at LBs.

from everything that i've read so far...

1. he's got speed, but not the pop that williams and stewart have in the backfield.

2. he's got good hands, but he can't catch a punt.

3. he can possibly play slot, but he may need to be in open space to be effective.

i'm not impressed.

LOL! As if either Williams and Stewart had all these things that you could easily see in the first week of TC.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By HPPantherzfan · Posted

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
