Mr. WEO Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 8 hours ago, Gugny said: Me, too. Goodwin is a great guy who gave his all whilst in Buffalo. Wasn't one of the knocks on him that, because he was also training for the Olympics, that he didn't give Buffalo his all? That and he couldn't catch or stay on the field.
Dopey Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 6 yrs, over $13 million so far and an Olympian with a chance at a 2nd Olympics. Sign me up. Plus we sure could have used him last year.

That's cool but.....zero point zero chance. I wish him well but this is kind of the way I feel too. Other Olympic hopefuls have been training for their sports all that time. His chances are pretty slim, IMO. Edited June 13, 2019 by vincec 1

In Goodwin's final year in Buffalo, R. Woods's caught 67% of his target, Clay caught 66%, Watkins 53%. Goodwin was at 43%. And your argument is that TT decided not to throw "catchable passes" to Goodwin only? This is a guy who is under 50% caught targets for his career. He had one good season 2 years ago.. Then he went back to being Regular Marquise Goodwin last year: always injured and can't catch the ball. 1

T master Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 He's a great person & he's not getting any younger he should do it while he still can because you only get one go around & he may as well get it while he can especially if he still thinks he has it in him to do well !! Go for it Flash !!
Nelius Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Good for him. Is 29 considered old for long jumpers? I don't really know a thing about track and field but I know Usain Bolt and Justin Gatlin were sprinting in their 30's. It's got to be his last shot but I'm not sure if he's exactly over the hill and in a worse position than last time.

Many have tried and they just cannot do it. Tyrone Wheatley did the same thing with the 110M hurdles back a long time ago. He even acknowledged that the time and effort into being an Olympic Athlete was far greater than that of a football player. He admitted he didn’t have the time to dedicate himself to the sport. Glass should probably quit football and focus on his long jumping. After all, he’s not really any good at football and he’s often hurt. It would be better for his health. If that is true and a football player decides to make that commitment they are 100% cut worthy. The Olympics don't pay the bills, they are boring, tired and forgotten. No one under 50 cares about them besides people who are invested in what are largely amateur sports. He's 29, he's done as an Olympic athlete. He should focus on playing well for one more big payday. 1 hour ago, Nelius said: Good for him. Is 29 considered old for long jumpers?

Him running in his 30's is a lot different than a guy who has never qualified trying to at 29. They are clearly a different caliber of athlete in their respective events.

The team can either grant his wish or he can quit football. My guess is that he’s allowed to try but he won’t qualify (sadly). It’s hard to do that part-time and still be one of the best in America. We have too many great athletes trying to earn those spots. Why's it sad? I'd rather some guy doing this every year rather than once every 3 or 4 years make it over him. Not that I'll watch it anyways. Edited June 21, 2019 by Ol Dirty B
