Dragonborn10 Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 I feel bad for the guy. He has the longest jump in the world this year. He may have been competing with a bad hamstring. If the Olympics were like the Masters, he would have qualified by winning a track meet earlier in the year.
uticaclub Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Missing the olympics and getting cut by the Bills. Rough 2016
Beef Jerky Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Sweet... A second thread to bash Glassy Umm.. you don't bash glass, you might get cut.
PO16FFS Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 He had a bad hamstring? What did he do? Try to catch a football?
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Now he gets to return and fail to make this team. Rough, but seriously, even coming in now he's a long shot. His training was for the Olympics, and there is only this year left on his deal. If he and Listenbee are even close to even, you have to go with the younger guy you have the rights for 3 years down the road.
BuffaloBill Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Sad for him but this is the nature of the Olympics. Once every four years not only do you have to have the innate ability you have to have the luck of no injuries or outside factors that stop you from pursuing a dream.
K D Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Good news is after he gets cut by the Bills he will have 4 years to train and try again for 2020. I hate players like Glass because they look good in 7 on 7 and running around without pads so coaches give them a chance but as soon as the pads come on they are toast. Being 160 pounds might be good for jumping but it's bad if you are in the NFL. Hes a crook that has openly admitted that the NFL is funding his Olympic training rather than giving his all for a team that paid him millions of dollars. Before you think I'm being too harsh go educate yourself. On draft day he said track was done and he was concentrating 100% on football. Then we come to find out he has been training for track all along, continues to get hurt because he has not bulked up for the abuse of the NFL, says that he would choose track over football if it paid enough, was planning on giving up football had he made the Olympics, and now he comes crawling back because he didn't. There are literally thousands of guys that would die for a shot at the NFL and hundreds that are probably a lot more deserving than him that would do whatever it takes to make a team. Glass wants to be a track star so do him a favor and send him packing
Freddie's Dead Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Yep, the 'quise haterz gonna be out in force now. It sucks when you have an injury at Trials, but that's the nature of individual sport. Everything has to be perfect, and you have to be a little bit lucky.

If he commits to training for football, I think he will bounce around the league as a fringe player because he's fast and has no off-field baggage. He may never put up big numbers, but if you look at some of the WRs on NFL rosters you know he can collect an NFL paycheck for a long time as a depth guy as long as he doesn't suffer an injury that he actually can't recover from. Speed is speed and as long as he has it, at least one team will pay him to suit up. Edited July 4, 2016 by YoloinOhio
PromoTheRobot Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) Don't worry about Goodwin. The Pats will sign him and he'll be their new Randy Moss. Edited July 4, 2016 by PromoTheRobot

The Pats will sign him and he'll be their new Randy Moss. Yeah, and the only 2 games he will be healthy will both be against us, haha

Speed is speed and as long as he has it, at least one team will pay him to suit up. Dunno, man. There's a lot of fast guys who can't play football out there. If Goodwin gets chopped at final cutdowns he may not get another chance with another team. Roster spots are precious then.
FLFan Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 So, you're saying he's injured? Tweaked his hamstring before the finals. He will not be in football shape when camp starts, and now will be nursing a hamstring. Very unlikely he makes the team. Time to move on.
Beerball Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Don't worry about Goodwin. The Pats will sign him and he'll be their new Randy Moss. sure
YoloinOhio Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Says he feels like he's in Week 10 and wants to start eating real food http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/07/04/marquise-goodwin-i-feel-like-im-in-week-10-after-long-jump-training/related/
