With the strong possibility of us keeping 2 FBs on the roster, IF it came down to the FO having to choose between Goodson and Sutton who do you think they would choose?

IMO, even though there's room to keep both, I think they would choose Goodson if they chose to keep 3 RBs because we would already have a backup FB who can also carry the ball and we have multiple return guys. All were roles Sutton played in last season. He could also take back the starting kickoff return role he had at the beginning of the season. Also if he improves on his fumbling problems from last preseason, I think he could be a much better RB than Sutton. Plus I think taking a year to learn could do him much good. Also remember that Goodson is considered to be good at receiving as well. Besides I dont think the FO would cut a draft pick from last year because that will mean they just wasted a pick when they could've drafted someone else to stay on the roster.

Goodson, I think, has a ton of potential. That being said, I think Fox is clearly going with the guys who show the work ethic and play soundly. True, maybe Goodson didn't get his chance last year, but Sutton looked really good in his fairly-limited playing time.

I have to assume we'd go with Sutton over Goodson, since the coaching staff went with him last year.

True, but I think the reason Sutton was chosen over Goodson was because he wasn't quite ready yet. This year could be the year he shows who he truely is after taking a year to learn. And I think he will impress.

Could very well be, and I hope so. I had high hopes for Goodson as a slot receiver or returner.

But that thinking of "this could be his year" has been known to burn us before. ;)

Yeah but he was still just a rookie. I think the FO would be more willing to keep their 4th round pick of 2009 who has more potential. It's low risk, high reward and dumping him would just be an embarrassment.

Goodson fumbling problem isnt blown out of proportion, its a huge problem with a run first type of team. But I do feel he should/has to be better this year with that problem. Theres no way we cut a 4th round draft pick from last year with that much talent. Goodson will eventually be good.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I have seen little inclination that they are laying down on him, that I can agree with. I don't think we are going to ever see much in the way of unfiltered opinions in the public realm from his teammates because that's extremely rare and extremely toxic behavior.  It's certainly a positive thing that they support him but, again, that doesn't make a successful NFL starting QB. Playing well on Sunday's does.  That is what has been lacking to date. He is not playing well consistently enough to be considered an NFL starting QB. He has to improve there. Be more consistent. Be more decisive. Make correct decisions more frequently.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's fine but for every Kurt Warner there are 10 Tony Banks that don't find their spot because....it never really existed.  Jake Browning was on and off practice squad teams for years until he stuck in Cincy. In his limited action over the past two seasons, he has played well enough that the Bengals panic traded for 41 year old Joe Flacco. It's easy to point to outliers like Warner or Purdy or Tom Brady as players who fell through the cracks because....well, they are outliers. The statistics over the long term have never really borne out the argument that every QB is just waiting for their perfect spot and situation. Most of these guys bounce around the league and it just never really clicks anywhere or they become marginal backup QB's. I don't think that exactly an accident. It's tough to be a starting NFL QB and it's why the hunt every offseason is so frantic. There are just so few that do it at a high level. My guess is that a theoretical market for Bryce Young(today) is going to look a lot like that post Chicago Justin Fields market. Not a lot of interest and a late round pick value at the highest. And a lot of that IS going to be his average to below average physical traits. It's extremely tough to be in that range and excel in the NFL. And it's precisely because you DO have to be closer to perfection to make up for the fact that you can't do a lot of the things that the elite to above average starters in this league do.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Im never not impressed by how confidently wrong you are. I've watched probably 200 NFL QBs play live. This talk about Bryce's arm strength is retarded, pure and simple. Bryce can make every throw an NFL QB needs to make in any circumstance. Does he have an arm that makes you go wow all the time? No, but very few QBs truly do. Bryce has plenty of zip on the ball when he wants. That TD to XL was a frozen rope. He throws to the opposite hash and outside all the time with no problem. Bryce's arm is objectively stronger than Cam's post-injury. I've seen both live multiple times and I know. And Cam could still play QB well without his rocket launcher. OPs point remains. QB success relies on a lot of nebulous things. Obviously you dont like Bryce. But his success is not going to be bc he doesn't have the arm strength. Its embarrassing this is a thing. Go to some games and actually educate yourself.
