Would You Be Happy with Mike Goodson as the Future at RB?

We've all raved about his performances for the most part this year including today's effort, and most felt the bromance after his performance in the preseason last year...

That being said, with all the uncertainty of our players on expirings, how would you feel about Goodson being 'the man' going forward?

I love DWill and would want him to retire as a Panther, if possible. But, we're looking at having to let one of these guys go out of DWill, Stewart, or Goodson because there's just too much talent in the backfield when they're all healthy. So who would it be?

Yeah, I would like that too. But, I just don't know how we can do it and if all three guys would be willing to stick around to share carries long-term. I think of the Cowboys and their 3 RBs... I honestly, don't believe each one of them could be the full-time starter by himself on another team.

With our guys, thinking objectively as possible, I DO think each of them could start on another team. Ideally, I'd like to keep all of them but I just don't know how long we can keep Goodson under the radar without involving him more for the long-term.

The main problem we have from here out is that we currently have 5 backs that various times all look good. Vaughn looked good today - Sutton has looked good at times - D-Will and Stew have a history of being good (but have now become injury prone).

I'd keep: D-Will or Stew (but not both), Goodson, Vaughn, Sutton and find some way for at least 2 of the 3 to be on the field every play - some plays all 3 with 1 in the slot.

Trade either D-Will or Stew while they still have some value.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
