Goodson in the slot

He needs the ball in the open field. KO return, third down back--you can motion him out from the RB spot if you want him wide. The D would have to respect the screen which would ease the blitzing. No sense knocking a WR out of a job when they are developing. Besides, Goodson is not good at route running from what I have seen.

I really think he's capable of doing it. Aside from the fumbles on returns, Goodson has shown good hands when thrown to (I'm thinking specifically of that great sideline catch from last preseason where he got his toes down before going out). He has the speed, and he's a threat once the ball's in his hands.

The way our receivers look, I'd much prefer to have two backs on the field at the same time with the option to check down to one of them.

You have to be able to catch more than just little dump off passes out of the backfield in order to play slot receiver. I'm sure that if Goodson had the hands of a receiver then he already would have gotten some reps in the slot. Lets just hope that LaFell, Rosario and Jarrett can make some plays. If the distribution can be:

Smith - 6 per game

Rosario/Barnridge/King - 6 per game

Dwill/JStew: 7 per game

LaFell - 3 per game

Jarrett - 2 per game

That'll be around 24 completions and will keep teams honest so the running game can do the rest. I honestly don't think its unrealistic to think that those players can put up those stats. We have enough weapons to do it.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
