Jack Vegas

IMO, he is washed up. I think he stays on the roster as a depth guy who knows the offense, but if he starts we will have serious problems in the middle.

How is he washed up Vegas? He is only 35 and played great for the past 8 years. No major injuries that I remember. Maybe I'm missing something. I'm not as big a Lelito fan as some Saints fans.

A. "Only 35"...35 is ancient for a football player, even an o-linemen.

B. Ask 49ers fans what they think of Goodwin's performance the last 2 seasons.

Jonathan Goodwin is washed up - SportsHoopla.com Sports Forums

"This guy needs to go. He used to at least run-block relatively well, but he doesn't even do that any more. His play has been lacking ever since he came to SF, and now it's just downright bad. He's drafting behind Iupati & Boone. The guy has one foot in retirement IMO. He needs to go. Now. Not next week. He's washed up."

"He's washed up like Randy Moss was last year."

"Kilgore will be the starter next season and Goodwin will be gone, no worries."

"I agree its time to let kilgore take the job"

"Agreed Goodwin should have been cut and the cap savings gone towards signing a FA WR to fill in for Crabtree and if Kilgore or Looney can't take over at center by now and get the job done they can both go as well."

"Good I hope so, because if I have to see Goodwin poor snapping for another year I will scream"

"The OL would be an unstoppable force with a good C."

"Remember how he killed the first drive in the Cardinals game? 3rd down, two rushers over top of him and he passed both of them to Gore and went ahead and tried to help Boone with a double team but pretty much just ended up standing by himself while Kap got sacked."

"How do you have two rushers right in front of you and then decide to block neither of them because you think it is a better idea to go after the guy Boone is engaged with?"

Drew is 35. And many O-Lineman play into their late 30's. And 9er fans suck.

Jack Vegas

A. Yes, Drew is 35, he's also the most protected player on the field. He doesn't have the wear and tear on his body that everyone else is going to have.

B. Yes, many o-linemen play into their late 30s, and most of them are shadows of their former selves. Remember Olin Kreutz? Wayne Gandy? Jamar Nesbit? Jerry Fontenot? Hell, Will Shields is a shoo-in Hall of Famer and he was terrible for about 3 years before he retired.

C. Yes they do suck, but that doesn't mean they're not right.
