So lets say Goodson fumbles a couple times tomorrow night...

Goodson + Clausen + 3rd down also spells disaster (double edge sword).....Jimmy has trouble if he even thinks there is pressure. Goodson is a swinging gate if asked to pass protect.

I also don't believe Carolina is attempting to "show off" Clausen.

Maybe not. Just my prediction. I think Jimmy is already feeling the "pressure" but whether or not he and Godson for that matter choke on their opportunities remains to be seen. I think they will get those opportunities however and provided the goal is to dangle JC out there a bit the, packages and playcalling will allow them both to have a real opportunity at success.

Seems like his fumbles come off the run game. The guy is lightening when he is a pass catcher. I say exploit his strengths and work on the fumbles as they go along.

Look at Deshaun Foster.. never fixed it. Not all backs fix the problem.

I think the kid needs more than 2 seasons to prove otherwise.. if he's in his 4th year and puts 4 or 5 fballs on the ground, then I'll agree if the coaching staff decides to release him..

[pantherclaw]

Still want to keep him? He is a dynamic player for sure, but at what cost?

is this even a serious question?

Ya dont get rid of a play maker.

He makes the team.

If he doesn't fix the problem just give him a whistle inside his mouthguard. That way he can pick up a first and when he's about to get hit, he can whistle the play dead and fake the defense out. Problem solved.

There are a few on this board ready to cut anybody that doesn't please them on a daily basis. Who draws their ire? Otah, Goodson, Gamble, Robinson, E. Brown, etc.

If these few posters were running the team we would definitely be in the Luck Sweepstakes by the end of the year.

Adrian Petterson did not fix his fumble problem. Some guys just cant hold on to the ball. Pilares has a running back background?

:iagree:

But I don't think Goodson has fumbled so much that he not worth a roster spot at present.

Even if he coughs it up in a preseaon game... I would still keep him around.

[smiley4284]

Nevermind, thought he had more. Hopefully he can continue

[Kevin Greene]

Rivera just made a point to him with the have to carry the ball around at camp thing. There wont be any fumbles or Goodson knows he'll be at the end of the bench. Or worse. My bet is this problem is solved simply by Rivera tapping into Goodson's pride.

[beastson]

We can always move him to slot receiver, which IMO he should be anyway

[weymouthst]

He still has time to correct it though, or least show that he knows how to secure the ball. Fumbles do happen, and sometimes can't be avoided. Defensive players get paid too, and they are going to get some good shots in or strip the ball.

But if he consistently fumbles over the course of this season, it will probably be time to part ways. I have a feeling Rivera will solve the issue though, as he has already begun to address the problem. HOLD ON TO THAT FOOTBALL!
