I think this guy really needs the ball in his hands. He has been explosive nearly every chance he gets to have the football. I really think this guy has a chance to be one of the best offensive players on our team. I wonder if theres any way we could get him playing as a slot receiver? If we could have somebody that could get him the ball, just seems to me that he could help our WR corps if that were possible.

Or even if he could just get some more touches as an RB, I just feel like we need to get the ball into his hands more often and see if he really can step up and help this offense.

As much as I love Goodson and what he brings, the dude looks really soft. Way too soft to be a 15-20 touch per game type of player. Keep him where he's at during kick returns and using him for the occasional carry or catch out of the screens, but don't expect him to get a lot of touches and we'll be fine.

Almost every time he really gets a solid tackle on him, he looks like he's going to stay down. I worry he couldn't handle the kind of hits our other backs take.

Goodson really does seem like he is getting it. I fear that the FO may let DWill go if he continues to do so well.

I could be wrong, but judging from the play by play and a few of the highlights I was able to watch, it seems to me Goodson “looked good” when he caught the ball out of the backfield in the shotgun formation. Sure he had the nice 9 yard run, but both DWill and JStew had big runs as well. And their runs seemed to have come when Tampa was expecting the run.

Goodson was stopped from the 4 yard line on consecutive runs late. Then they bring in JStew on 4th and goal at the 1 when everyone in the world knew what they were going to do.

The offense is simply way too predictable. Running the ball a ton isn’t the problem. It’s the way the plays are distributed that seems to be the issue. When you run the ball on 1st and 2nd down and then shotgun on 3rd seemingly every drive, you’re going to have problems especially when Moore is your starting QB.

Shotgun on 1st with screens to Dwill and JStew, try some 2 back sets with those guys, make it more unpredictable and help your QB out. The Panthers have one of the best offensive lines and two of the best backs in the league. Use them!!

      OTA's

      By strato · Posted

      People were discussing the new backup QB in comparison the the starter.  Neither has anything close to a cannon.  Video was posted of them throwing.  If people can’t be free to express their opinions without being put on a list of posters who have ruined this place we have a bad situation here. People trying to silence  criticism of the QB.    Maybe actually post about the other players instead of about the other posters. That is where it went off the rails.

      That's true and we're definitely going to hear more about it as summer progresses. But at the end of the day all of the progress we've made on the roster as a whole will only matter if our passing offense can emerge from the basement of the NFL. In 2023 it was 32 out of 32 in 2024 it was 30th out of 32 and last year it was 26th out of 32. And early in the season we relied heavily on a career year from Rico Dowdle who is no longer on the roster. This is only reinforced by the fact that we (depending on how one views it) effectively took playcalling out of Dave Canales hands and brought in another offensive mind. The elephant in the room isn't going anywhere no matter how much we may not like it.

      There's plenty of other things to discuss. This is the most talented roster we've had in a long time.
