I see where you're coming from and I would tend to agree, but I think he is just as likely to fumble in any situation. I don't think it has much to do with how many people he encounters as it does how he holds the ball and where he is hit from.

I don't necessarily disagree, I just think fumbling is less of an issue with pass receivers anyway.

But I do agree its a significant problem for Goodson, and hopefully one that can be fixed. If it is fixed, he has the potential to be a big weapon for us. His explosiveness rivals some of the best runners in the league.

He just isn't that good. Return man, 3rd down back at best, I'm afraid. And even then theres always the worry of him putting it on the turf. When you have guys like Williams and Stewart, I just don't see much reason to give Goodson touches(unless depleted by injuries like last year)

AP is also a freak of nature, whos liable to break 20 tackles and take it to the house every time he touches the ball. When thats the case, ill live with the odd fumble. Goodson can't do that.

Goodson is shifty, has speed, an incredible option out of the backfield, put up 2 100 yard games last year when his name was called, and you don't think he is liable to break a few tackles and run it to the house?

      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.
