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


TylerDurden

Recommended Posts

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.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
