Anyone still want to defend Mike Goodson?


Recommended Posts

People claim we can replace Williams/Stewart with Mike Goodson, by what he has shown this season. Granted he has had some nice games, good production behind a banged up O-Line. But IMO his lack of ability to hold onto the ball exceeds his ability to make plays. In plain english, his turnovers hurt us far more than his break out plays.

So far against the Falcons today:

2 Fumbles, and 1 idiotic catch for a loss. I mean really, why go after the ball 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage? Bat it down!

He has never had success holding onto the ball. He has excellent break away speed, he is putting on some weight and it should make him more durable between the tackles. But in all honesty he will be our 3rd down back next season unless there is an injury. D-Will will be resigned (don't think we don't have the cap space to do so, and if you think JR is cheap because of this one season then you are clueless).

So what are your thoughts everyone?

Just like you don't want people to base wanting him to be our #2 by just this season, you can't base not wanting him on one half of football. His fumbling problem had been better for a large portion of the season.

I don't have a horse in the race. I honestly have no preference in whether he becomes our #2 behind Stew or stays at the #3.

Mike Goodson has been solid all year, damn give him a break for one game.

I agree has given us some good (even great) production in a terrible season. But his fumbling problems have been the basis of why I feel moving forward he can't be a top 2 HB. I like the kid, I really do. I don't base my opinions off this one game, it's been a problem all his career. I know he has gotten better at controlling the ball, but he is unfolding this game and it's drawing some doubt into my mind (I'm sure I'm not the only one).

honestly Williams is the only back on the team that can do it all. And make something out of nothing this year when we sucked terribly he was still averaging over 4 yards a carry.

If he was still playing he would be back over 5 again.

No doubt about it. Williams needs a new deal (and I believe he gets one). There is no way we grab Luck in the draft without giving him a top 5 HB behind him.

goodson makes plays out of nothing, but he can't hold on to the ball.

williams makes plays out of nothing, but he can't stay healthy.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
