dave mcbride Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 He's been in the league 2 seasons. It seems foolish to give up on a player with that much talent. He hasn't suffered any crippling injuries, and the one he suffered from the Manuel throw would have happened to any player. At this point, i think it's fair to say he has had bad luck rather than to call him injury prone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerme1 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Who is going to give up any value for a player with so many questions? Chip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Lombardi Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Lately, on my yearly trip to training camp, the one player who stands out to the casual fan (that's me) is Goodwin. A lot of what goes on at training camp is pretty mundane. Then, out of the corner of the eye, a lightning bolt crosses the scene. I'd read that Spiller and TJ Graham and their ilk had "world class speed." If they do, then Goodwin has intergalactic speed. He walks past guys like Spiller and Graham. If that startling speed could be deployed correctly, he would present a match-up issue akin to Gronk.I hope they find a way to keep him. He is a conspicuously special talent.

boyst Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I'm pro Goodwin with the choice between hogan and easley.... I have debated this internally since this morning. It was actually quite tough for me. Pros Goodwin - speedy, quick, agile, positive team member Hogan - upside unknown, potential unknown, athletic, reliable and tough Easley - upside unknown, potential at WR unknown, athletic and a core member of the ST unit. Cons Goodwin - glass, small, lacks capability to run the entire route tree. Hogan - not an NFL WR by true definition, Easley - may be as good of a WR as he'll ever been, can't crack depth chart at WR Being that ST is still 1/3 of the game I value a player who can make a tremendous impact at that position vs others who can occasionally make a play. Hogan can get the ball in his hands but he's not a play maker, he's not a YAC guy to get the first, but he's good. Better then I probably want to give credit for, at least. But, Goodwin being in 5-6 plays a game and getting the ball once a game, if that, doesn't promise us results. Only Thad Lewis was able to make plays with him and thats because Lewis sacrificed to do so. Easley has more playing time then both Hogan and Goodwin. I think Easley is more important to the team but more replaceable then Goodwin. I might just take Goodwin over Easley, but it'd be tough and I'd have to look at my roster and the $$.

I'll agree its an interesting debate.... And I don't think a no brainer decision for any of them One of my main thoughts - If we carry the extra kicker AND guys like dixon, graham, etc.... I'm more comfortable losing a gunner in exchange for every resource possible for this offense. Especially with a seeming emphasis on misdirection the idea that with one wrong step by the defender and Goodwin can get clear over the top is very appealing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webster Guy Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Small receivers never last in this league. theyre fun to watch and can be game changers, but they break your heart with the injuries. Goody should go to Indy and backup t.y. hilton, who is also a little dude. Same style of play, and the key to being a burner in the NFL is having a gunslinger thats accurate. Luck would make him famous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Who is going to give up any value for a player with so many questions? Don't you understand. I want said player traded and for a 1st round pick so it will happen. Obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloFan68 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I like Goodwin and am looking forward to see what kind of game plan Roman puts together that can utilize Goodwin's talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is blazing fast. Like noticeably faster than even other fast guys. Just watch some of his highlights.

John from Riverside Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Actually I wonder if Goodwin might in fact be traded......with Thigpen on the roster and Percy Harvin signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
