Goodson is good, i knew that. he has developed into a little surprise this year. But really, when we have nothing to play for, i mean absolutely nothing, the supposedly "stars" come out in Carolina. Look at last year with Matt Moore, now we gotta another 'superstar' with Goodson? I like it, but if he does it again next year I will be sold.

Since we drafted goodson he showed initially that he had great hands(receiving wise) and great straight line speed. He had no power whatsoever, little vision, and barely any lateral moves.

That didn't really get too much better during preseason.

Nobody knew he would break out like he did, carrying tacklers and juking falcons/browns out of their shoes. When you're buried behind two of the best backs in the league who are the lifeblood of the team, you won't get very many chances.

There isn't anything wrong with that quote.

Besides, the only quote that will ever, EVER sum up John Fox will be the classic

"It is what it is".

Goodson is most definitely close to being an every down back, but not quite. He cannot block for poo and god forbid a team blitz against us. He has slight fumbling issues. He has already sustained a concussion, which could mean more to come. He is also very young, so there is a lot of room to improve, which he will. I don't think he will ever have that great blocking abilities, he is really just too small (and don't bring up smitty he is a freak). However Goodson NEEDS to be played in the slot, screens and TB he is a dangerous weapon and Fox does not utilize him to his fullest, I think if he was under another coach with a little less conservatism he could easily serve as an every down back.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
