Who starts: Stewart or Goodson?

If J.Stewart is cleared to play Sunday, then who starts? Williams/Stewart haven't been able to put up a 100+ yard rushing game this season. Goodson has two in a row. Stewart may very well be the starter, just from last years tape alone, but if it's from a John Fox prespective: "gives us the best chance to win", then could it be Goodson?

Thoughts?

It depends on how well the line is blocking. If they get some movement Stewart can get some carries, if not Goodson needs a bulk of the carries.

Goodson is a better reciever as well so that helps as Jimmy spread the ball around very well last game.

Stewart will be totally ineffective until the O-line can give him some holes to run through.

well, the OL has opened holes for Goodson the last 2 weeks. Can't argue against that. Sure, he creates some on his own but holes have been there. If holes are being opened up to run in then Stewart needs the carries.

the Browns are good against the run so there probably won't be good holes. In that case, Goodson should get more reps b/c he is more dangerous w/ Clausen checking down to him.

Goodson with Stewart spelling him off the bench.

Goodson has done nothing to lose his job - yes he started the season as the 3rd choice, but right now he's our #1. It's all about what you've done for the team lately in this league and Stewart has done nothing.

Courtesy, loyalty and patronage says Stewart should start but if he can't get it done, its like Janet Jackson said, 'What have you done for me lately'. Goodson has it going on with this bullshit line for some reason. Can't figure it out all I know is we have alot of talent and this crap of not having any vets is bull, we have enough, just lead.

Goodson doesn't tiptoe up to the line of scrimmage after taking the hand-off. Let Stewart get the back up carries.

I agree...Goodson has been a lot more decisive with his cuts. Even when there is nothing there he can make a move or two and pick up something whereas Stewart would go right into the like for no gain. Dont know what his deal is this year but he looks as bad as our QB's or oline has this year.

    • I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches. 
    • At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
    • Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
