What do you mean move him around? What exactly is a WR1 anyway?

At this pt that's Deebo and that doesn't change if Goodwin comes back.

I'm with you NY on this one. If Goodwin becomes our #1 or even a starter, then we're in trouble. We have better options than him If we don't keep Sanders then we need to draft a WR.

But, we'll probably be trading down at #31 - so we'll be missing out on one of the better WRs. So, we're going to have to sign Sanders or it's going to be Goodwin, Deebo, Bourne or Pettis having to step up.

It doesn't matter what happens, it doesn't make Goodwin into something he isn't, and has proved not to be.

Nah he's actually a decent route-runner. He can't stay healthy and his hands are subpar. His speed will keep him in the league (like Ted Ginn Jr). I don't know if he will stay on this team though. $ is limited and the draft has cheap alternatives.
He's still a better option than Sanders, IMO.
No he isn't. Sanders is a elite route-runner NEVER drops balls and actually stays on the field.
I have no idea why you keep proclaiming this?
But, he's slow - I want some speed from my WR1. I think Goodwin can fill that roll and not cost a much.
goodwin as a #1!? my guy you have lost your damn mind! for one dude never stays on the field, bless him but seems to have personal issues every year then on top of health, then he drops damn catchable balls. He's 29 and has never ever been a #1. that ship has sailed and I hope we can even get a 7th for him at least
Well, he was our #1 back a few years ago. Until we get an upgrade he's going to have to fill that roll.

Maybe, I'm wrong about Goodwin - I thought his personal issues we're what was holding him back. I guess time will tell.
Originally posted by CatchMaster80:The personal issue may have been a factor but lot's of people have problems. Thomas had the issue with his sister. I remember Favre going out and playing a game the the day after his dad passed away. People deal with this stuff in different ways but professionals usually find a way to put it behind them and continue their job. It may sound cold but team members and coaches look at how guys handle that stuff. Publicly they will support them but inside they may be thinking the guy isn't tough enough.

Fair enough - let's hope your wrong.

Lynch and Kyle seem like guys who really care about their players. Unfortunately this is a production based business. I feel for guys like Solomon and Goodwin. I lost my only sibling unexpectedly a week before Solomon lost his. This is the hard part of sports. Especially ones with a salary cap.
You have a limited cap and a roster restriction. If someone isn't being productive for whatever reason then your really on a tight leash for how long you can wait and look beyond the other stuff. It sucks but it's the unfortunate part about professional sports. My guess is the same as it has been for months and that's Goodwin will not be a niner come September.
