Mike Goodson's fumbling problem

On the other hand, Goodson is our best receiver out of the backfield. He should stick to that row, and not carry the ball much, at least for now.

Fumbling on a screen is as bad as fumbling on a run.

Time to move on.

The problem with consciously resolving a fumbling problem is it slows you down.

I noticed that there was separtation between the ball and his rib pads a lot when he runs. That is not a good thing. If you do the math going back to last season, he is fumbling about every 40 touches. Do we want him on the kickoff return team?

Fumbling is fixed through coaching and a player wanting to fix it. Completely a mental thing

I am not so sure it's mental. As MHS pointed out, he runs with the ball away from his body. He's a good 3rd down back, but this problem worries me and is why I wanted to see us keep DWill.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
