one quote that sums up john fox perfectly

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.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
