Mike Goodson equals fools gold

Neither Stew or DWill got the number of carries Goodson is enjoying as a starter this year. Give Dwill 20 plus carries a game and he would shine. Goodson was fortunate as well both his fumbles today were recovered or we might have lost by 51-13.

I dont want to see DWill leave town.

We'll never get in return what Hurney gave up for Stewart, we need to ride that horse. (But if someone offered a 2nd....)

Goodson is good depth.

Keep 'em all.

Goodson is not fools gold but he isn't Barry Sanders. He is a very solid backup and we should consider ourselves lucky to have depth at one position. Sutton is no slouch either. I forsee the Panthers parting ways with either Stewart or Williams, just because of the quality they have in Goody and Sutton.

I would rather have Sutton. He's a solid special teams player as well as 3rd back.

Sutton is too injury prone. I don't want to be in a position of depending on him.

I wouldn't call Goodson "fool's gold" but I don't think he's better than a healthy Williams or Stewart. I'd still prefer him as the third back / kick returner.

I don't get the Foster comparisons. Foster was more balanced in terms of speed/power. Goodson is probably the fastest back we've had here in a while. The line is still playing like crap it's just that Goodson is fast enough to make up for it. He's also running much more decisively than JStew.

Like Mr. Scot said, normally Goodson is best suited for backing up DWill/JStew and returning kicks. The guy just has too many issues with ball security to be an every down back, and that's why he reminds me of Foster, not because of his running style. Is the guy fast, hell yeah he's fast, but he just isn't able to break through the second and third levels of the defense very often and his statistics prove that. So far he's got 270 yds(long of 45 yds) on 61 carries with 0 TD's and 3 fumbles. Not bad when you consider how terrible our OLine and playcalling have been this year, but damn sure not good enough either.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      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.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
