In this case I am, because Goodwin doesn't appear to be very good anymore. I will refer you back to the opinions of 49ers fans, they would know better than us at this point. And they wanted him benched in the middle of last season.

I got no problem with him as the bench guy. I don't really even have a problem with him as starter if he wins the job....I just think if that's the case it means we are going to be weak at that position.

He's good enough to play between two all pro guards and in front of a HOF QB. All of a sudden I'm a lot more comfortable at center than I was last season.

I would perhaps take those negative comments by the 49ers fans with a grain of salt, since playing center for someone like Kaepernick is very different to what it is to be playing with someone like Brees.

To me, Kapernick is someone who'll frustrate the O-line players time and time again with his (seemingly) improv-style of playing the QB position, whereas Brees is more predictable in his movements after the snap and, therefore, easier to protect from taking hits.

IMO, the Saints need a big bodied center to alleviate the interior pressure, which we all know is a killer for Brees and in which DLP struggled mightily and that is probably the biggest reason why he is gone. Goodwin could end up being a great fit even with somewhat diminished physical attributes from the last time he wore the black & gold, while allowing Lelito and perhaps Armstrong to take some more time to prepare themselves for the starting role.

Agree with this 1000%.
