Triple Trouble ?

Triple Trouble Anybody ?

Goodson looks . . well, Good, Son!

Great Offensive lines bring out the best in their running backs. Contrary to what most may think this kid has a good chance to contribute to an already stellar running game. He has good hands too . . . coming out of the back field in a two back set, will have the defense stacking line for the run Whoopsie

:hurray:

Thanks Cat Craver

I like what I see in this kid.

If he can return kicks.....what he delivers on offense is gravy.

I would not mind using him similar to the way NO is starting to use Bush. He looks dangerous in the passing game. Get him matched up in space on LB's and he could be trouble.

I'll have to admit that I had never even heard about him before we drafted him, and then when we did I was like "WTF, we dont really need another RB." But after watching some highlights of him I see that he could be a serious gamebreaker for us. I am very impressed by some of his highlights.....now we have to see if Davidson and Fox decide to use him correctly.

Yes, a creative offensive mind could have so much fun with all the tools in the Panthers war chest. Our Offense should be able to help our Defense just like the running game will help the passing game.

Foxes use of next years 1st round picks 2 years in a row looks good to me.

That's what I was thinking with him, maybe 2-3 runs a game, KR & PR, 2-3 passes from the slot or out of the backfield.

I think he may end up one of the best picks to come out of this draft. Im really excpecting fox and company to run a whole bunch of fullhouse, fullhouse wide and strong packages with Jstew, Dwill and goodson in the backfield. Goodson can come in motion and line up outside at wr, either back can break the big run and all 3 can most likely play a huge role in the screen game. now throw a few bubble screens to smitty, a reverse here and there out of the same formation and your looking at a 4 way threat out of the backfield.

Great Video!!! That got me pumped. Was it me or did he look as if he was twice as fast as everyone else on the field. WOW!!!

Do you think he could line up as a WR and stretch the field. Kinda like we wanted Drew Carter to do?

I've got to admit I'm a little perplexed. I mean, we can't handle 3 backs with what we have in 1 and 2. Goings is gone, I know, but this kid has too much talent to be a Goings player. Where is he going to fit in?

I have two words for you. Slot. Receiver.

Let's actually wait until he takes an actual snap in a NFL game to judge where he fits.

What is it about my question of where he fits that makes you question my opinion?

Do we see a repetition here?...

"Last Tuesday morning was the exception, it was a awesome play by rookie Mike Goodson. Goodson left most of the players in awe with his speed. It was not a technical move he just stepped to the right followed by a quick cut up the field. But his speed on the play was the Panthers were looking for when they drafted him in the fourth round."

"Look for Goodson on kickoff returns, where his speed could prove invaluable as teams adjust to the league-mandated outlaw of the wedge return formation. But on punt returns, the work Tuesday morning was ceded to wide receiver Larry Beavers"

    • You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
    • CMC said he expected to play his career here.  He didn't think he would be traded.  Carolina decided they wanted to trade him.  He picked here he wanted to go.   But we dumped him.  For largely peanuts.   But we dumped DJ Moore and he never had a blood and guts game.   So it's never a guarantee. 
    • I have many people telling me CMC was blindsided and heartbroken by the trade, but that's not how I remember everything going down.  49ers are pretty wounded right now on defense so if our offense can sustain drives and score, that'd be the difference maker. Their offense? I'm not scared of CMC.
