I wrote an article detailing Top 50 NFL Running Backs over at the all-haled Bleacher Report.

Constructive criticism is welcomed and I'll do my best to avoid an argument this time DavethePanther. :D

49. Mike Goodson, Carolina Panthers

Goodson is another fourth round pick who has exceeded expectations thus far.

In his second year in the league, he has already put up good numbers in one of the most crowded backfields in the NFL. While Panthers star Deangelo Williams battled injury the entire season, Goodson shined as the compliment back to Jonathan Stewart.

He is very elusive and displays an excellent burst through the hole. He also adds great value as a receiver. However, he needs to solve his fumbling issues before the Panthers increase his workload.

I'll leave the suspense for you to find Stewart and Williams.

Tough to put both Stew and DWill in the top 10, and I tend to agree with their placements. Most of the guys ahead are featured backs and only share a fraction of the wealth. Reading this just makes me want to sign DeAngelo, keep Stew running hard, and get Goodson incorporated more into the passing/return game.

These three studs are imperative to Newton's success. With Double Trouble running as they did in 2008 behind a healthy offensive line, Newton will be able to keep defenses off-balance. It feels damn good to have a threat at the QB position once again.

Here's to a bright future Panther fans, just have a little patience.:cheers2:

Re-signing D-will is a tough decision, for one he's getting older and with age comes injuries. We don't want to sign him and he's always on IR. On the other hand you have a very talented young back who could definitely take Williams place if not resigned. But what happens of J-stew goes down? I can't see Goodson who has fumbling problems as our primary back.

      Jared Feinberg's Falcons v Panthers film breakdown

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      The Panthers did a great job of countering the Falcons' pass rush in the run game. They utilized veteran wideout David Moore, a good run blocker on the perimeter, as the motion man to help with crack-toss plays and trap blocks. It was also interesting to see more Sean McVay wide zone concepts in Canales’ version, especially with the “insert” concept that is a table in these systems.   Second-year cornerback Chau Smith-Wade didn’t come out of the gates hot, but settled in and put forth a fine performance. His spacing in zone coverage tightened up and it began to have an impact later on—like on his pick-six of quarterback Michael Penix Jr. He also showcased good matching capabilities while having some impressive man reps and tackles in space. You have to appreciate how well Ejiro Evero’s defense rallied to the football. Some runs that would, in the past, go for chunk yardage were contained. Tackling was improved on all three levels of the field. Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan was once again the leader in receiving yards (48) on Sunday, but he struggled away from the box score with a couple of drops. As head coach Dave Canales noted Monday afternoon, the Falcons did a great job staying in phases on McMillan, especially at the top of routes. Rookie safety Lathan Ransom showed more flashes of control as a tackler. He continues to show the physicality that is needed in Evero’s defense while having the athleticism and downhill burst to click and close sideline to sideline or north/south. https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/09/23/panthers-film-review-falcons-week-3/86308214007/

      Something positive (defense)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      Horn + Jackson + Smith-Wade might be the best CB trio we've had in a minute.

      I think we would have had a good shot. I believe at the time we had already traded for the first overall pick, so Baltimore could have then immediately get whatever replacement they wanted for Lamar in the draft or trade for someone else. I still am baffled we were one of the teams that put out that ridiculous statement about not pursuing Lamar.   Yeah, let’s not trade for the franchise carrying, mvp winning, all pro top 5 qb in league to help take this franchise higher places. They should have at least tried. They were willing to go all in on Watson but not Lamar, I don’t understand Tepper.
