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.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
