Trent Guy and Mike Goodson

I think Goodson locked down the kick returner job last night (and he earned it). That return looked a lot like the Steve Smith TD against the Texans in '07. (Steve's was way more badass)

But as for punt returner, Guy catches the ball well, unlike the other dready punt returner the Panthers have been trying out. He also has some good speed and when he had a little room, showed he could break out. I'd like to see him get the punt return job, but he's almost sure to be cut. It's a shame, because he's looked far better as a receiver and punt returner than Armanti.

I've been on the Goodson band wagon since they drafted him. He reminds me of a young Westbrook. Edwards looked good last night. Caught everything thrown his way, and the smoke play was oh so Smitty like, even threw in a stiff arm.

I still don't think there's anyway we keep Guy, though I wish we could.

I'm a Goodson fan, too. It's funny that just a few days ago several Huddle members were advocating keeping Vaughan over Goodson. What a difference a day makes.

Goodson didn't look bad last preseason. He fumbled a couple of times and, as a result, Fox benched him in favor of Sutton. I wish we could work him in as a slot receiver a bit.

I agree the numbers are just not in Guys favor. I really think he showed he could contribute but IMO Capt will be our PR guy once again.

I can't believe anyone seriously wants (or wanted) to keep Vaughan over Goodson. Glad I didn't see any of that...

I just love how everyone was so impressed with Goodson last offseason, but then when preseason of last year hit and Goodson fumbled a couple balls away, everyone gave up on him.

Then everyone was excited for Sutton (and rightly so), and everyone forget about Goodson. And really no one has mentioned him much on this forum until that return.

It really is a "what have you done for me lately" league.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
