Mike Goodson equals fools gold

[Peppermint9030]

Hes made the most out of his oppurtunities... He puts the ball on the ground alot! Hes not a power runner but he does run hard! Sounds to me alot like Deshaun foster...Lets please not trade Stewart, or let go of Williams. Theres no reason we cant work out a 3 headed monster in the backfield.

[Kevin Greene]

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.

[PhillyB]

how the hell does that make him fools gold?

[SOJA]

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.

[Peppermint9030]

because he looks good now until hes the primary back for an entire year... Just like foster when we lost Davis. Remember the 8 fumble season? Running backwards on fourth down?

[chef17]

I agree Williams would reach 100 yards if he has as many carries but I don't take anything away from Goodson. He has looked good so far. Lets see if he can keep it up.

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

[Jackofalltrades]

"Alot" isn't a word.

[Mr. Scot]

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.

[philp]

if i remember correctly, he even lined up out wide. got the ball thrown to him for no gain. mr scot, is this correct?

didn't like the result but, i like the idea

[Panthers128]

Stewart didn't get the carries because he wasn't producing.

Williams didn't get the carries because Davidson is the worst offensive coordinator in the NFL.

[OneBadassCat]

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.

[top dawg]

Well, fool the hell out of me!

[Panther59]

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.
