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.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
