So? Brandon Lloyd once led the league in receiving yards.
That was a predictable response, but Goldson was good for multiple years as a 49ers, he was part of the #1 defense that went to a superbowl, and he played a huge role.. he wasnt a one yr wonder
Your response was even more predictable. Yes, he went to the Super Bowl but look at all the points we gave up along the way. Then look at all the points we gave up IN the Super Bowl.
Funny how Goldson is suddenly exempt from that conversation.
Fact: Goldson was good for maybe two years as a 49er. So the Brandon Lloyd comparison stands.
Fact: Goldson is only "good" when the plays stays in front of him, which allows the highlight reel hits some of you are still swooning over. Problem is, a lot of those hits resulted in flags, fines, and I think even got him suspended once. Meaning, they had little to no effect on the outcome of the game.
Fact: After leaving the 49ers, he got a large contract from the Bucs, who were one of the WORST defenses in the league and they traded him for a 7th round pick. Because that's what teams with struggling defenses do with top-flight superstar players.
They give them away practically for free.
Fact: He's currently a below average safety (statistically) playing on (yet again) one of the worst defenses in the league.
Nobody is saying Eric Reid is the next coming of Earl Thomas. But by no objective measure can anyone say Goldson is the better.
Such a statement just has no basis in reality.
Hell, I'd bet the house that if we offered Reid for Goldson and a pick
right now the 'Skins would take it in a heartbeat.
