BmarvB Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 As much as I like Marquise Goodwin, what good is he if he's not on the field because he stays hurt? How many games do you think he'll actually play in this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan_34 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Somehow I see him getting hurt in the first game along with Harvin and we would of wished we kept Tbompson or Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Â There is not a good reason to rush him. If Rex and Roman and Whaley didn't think he would contribute soon they wouldn't have done what they did. Keep him on the active roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I personally don't even know why he was kept on the team other than his speed. Pretty sure Harvin has speed too and he can actually catch a ball without hurting himself. As a guy who is his size and build he needs to learn that if you aren't running free on a go route you need to give yourself up and go down and not try to run all over the field.

Wazzu Bill Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I think it's one of those issues where it's hard for a coach to let someone go strictly because they are "injury prone". How do you know that it hasn't just been bad luck? He's been hit pretty hard on some of those injuries. Â Worst thing to do would be to cut him and see him succeed on another team. If a player has talent, you keep him around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Did Goodwin break or bruise his ribs? As one very smart guy (retired pediatric neuro-radiologist) told me when my kid had a break, on a scale of 1-10, a bad bruise is like a 5 and a break is like a 6. They can be almost the same thing.

truth on hold Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I gather they're thinking if they get 8-10 games / year out of him its worth the roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Â You're a pretty happy fellow, aren't you... Â I like how he wished we kept a guy over Goodwin who we waived/injured. As one very smart guy (retired pediatric neuro-radiologist) told me when my kid had a break, on a scale of 1-10, a bad bruise is like a 5 and a break is like a 6. They can be almost the same thing. Â Yup. I (probably) cracked a rib once. Dr. took a look, felt it and the swelling, said he thought it was cracked, but it could just be bruised pretty good, and there wasn't much of a difference from treatment or pain, gave me some strong pain meds, and told me it wasn't worth x-raying to see if it was broken. Â Driving to/from the Dr. with that rib was one of the most painful things I've ever done. I could barely suffer through it. I thought Every single little bump, and having to move left or right to look in a mirror, was going to kill me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starrymessenger Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 He's small, he's (pretty much always) hurt, he's hardly a great receiver by any stretch of the imagination.

He's maybe a notch above TJ Graham and that's pretty much it. Lots of guys are fast. Disagree. In the preseason games, dude showed potential of catching the medium stuff also. he can catch and he can run - which is one more than TJ ever did. Goodwin's only issue is his durability. Yeah, his love for comic books is a bit troubling: One of the most underappreciated movies ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope YOU, of all people, give Sammy due credit for playing through it as he did last year. Hope we get to see what he can do healthy and with decent QB play.
