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.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Been here a while but rarely post and most of them are smartazz. Mostly lurk just so I can sound informed while hanging out drinking beer in my neighbors garage. Amusingly a Huddle level of knowledge kind of makes you a subject matter expert. Thanks for that.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      That’s similar as saying MVP Cam is the same as rookie Cam because his mechanics didn’t change. We’re talking about production.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.
