truth on hold Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Probably the best place for him. We're all dazzled by his speed, but he's just not physically cut out for NFL. And the injuries he's compiling will eventually knock him out as an Olympic caliber athlete too. Edited June 23, 2015 by JTSP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Is this really a "big" story? There's only one thing about Goodwin that concerns me -- his ability to stay healthy. I don't care if he's running and jumping into sand pits for his hobby. You don't see how those two things can possibly be connected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Meh, it's likely he wouldn't stay healthy anyways, good on him for following a dream, and kudos to the team for supporting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 He needs to qualify this weekend in oregon to make it an issue. If he does, then he competes during TC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 You don't see how those two things can possibly be connected? I haven't seen very many long jump injuries. Could he hurt himself during training? Of course -- but that could be true regardless of what sort of training he's doing, including football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 @salmaiorana #Bills WR Marquise Goodwin to compete at USA Track and Field meet. What about his NFL career? Interesting decision. http://on.rocne.ws/1N1UiUO I love this part from Sal... Ummm, Sal, you're not picking the team."On a few occasions this spring, new coach Rex Ryan talked up Goodwin as someone who should not be taken lightly, even though the Bills are deep at the position with free agent Percy Harvin being added to a group that already included Sammy Watkins, Robert Woods, and Chris Hogan. "He's got great speed, he's got all the tools, he can run routes," Ryan said back in OTAs. "He's not just a 'track guy.' He's a football player. As far as proving things, just get out and play. I would be shocked if he doesn't play well." However, if I was picking the Bills final 53-man roster today, Goodwin would not be on the team. I would keep six receivers, and they would be Watkins, Woods, Harvin, Hogan, rookie Dezmin Lewis and special teams ace Marcus Easley." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're never correct, but yet you keep on trolling. I mean trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course -- but that could be true regardless of what sort of training he's doing, including football. Perhaps he will be changing up his training regimen a bit in order to make a push for the Olympic team, and thus his body will be weaker in some areas that are now more vulnerable when he hits the football field. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he qualifies because I know this is a dream of his, and likely his last chance. But selfishly, I want him to play for the bills this year, and don't want the world championships to impact that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 According to NBC Sports, Men's Long Jump will be one of the fiercest competitions in the event. http://olympictalk.nbcsports.com/2015/06/23/usa-track-and-field-championships-preview-events-to-watch/ Goodwin's personal best would currently rank 4th among Americans. The best American right now, Jeff Henderson, is the 2015 world leader. ha. I hope he qualifies because I know this is a dream of his, and likely his last chance. But selfishly, I want him to play for the bills this year, and don't want the world championships to impact that. He's a role player, not a starter, so I think he's in a perfect situation to do something like this. If he works hard enough, he can still be a dangerous piece of our offense. It would be cool to see a guy doing two different sports professionally, which is rare these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not a huge Deion Sanders fan, although I thought he was a great CB. But I thought it was awesome that he played a football game and then jumped on a plane and played a baseball game that same day.* I was thinking hell yeah I would do that if I could, why not? *The real story to that, I think, is Deion played a Saturday night game in the NL Championship Series, then got on a plane and played a Sunday day game for the Falcons, then got on a plane and suited up for the NL Championship next game but never got in the game. So he didn't actually play in two games in the same day but basically did. He played in two within 24 hours and was actually dressed for 3 with a 24 hour span, playing in two of them.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 dont limit him in your mind. actually dont limit anyones potential in your mind. even yourself You can look at this two ways. One is that by saying a guy should pick one passion and focus on it, it's limiting him (from two sports). Another is by saying a guy should pursue all his dreams, including multiple sports (long jump and football), but that is potentially limiting him as well - for example, if injuries accrued in one sport limit his performance in the other or training time for both sports keeps him from reaching the highest potential he could achieve in the other. So sure, don't limit anyone's potential in your mind, but recognize that pursing multiple dreams is, in itself, a form of limit. so do we root for him or not? Lol I will root for him. But I think he should choose. He may, in fact, do so if he makes the WC team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
