Gotta Give Godfrey some love here (stats included)

[trucpfan]

i'm not reading too much into Godfrey's skills right now because I still think he's learning the system IMO. he was under Trgovac the first year he was with Carolina... then the system changes the following year and he misses more than a third of the games... then comes on strong at the end. now he's in a different position, yet he's showing growth. him showing growth in any area simply means he's starting to catch on. this doesn't exactly declare him as being the future best defensive player in the league by any means. it just means he's doing his job, and he needs to keep progressing. he gets a solid A for effort, but a B for execution. when he can force turnovers, knock balls down, and he can be in the right place at the right time when it counts the most... then you can say he's got mad skills.

rep for the don good break down and to add he was a CB in college so he made a change of positions right off the back then what you said....

and i do everyday cant wait till we catch up and legalize it here and make money like Cali does off it

Isn't "being in the right place at the right time" where your supposed to be?

Usually twice but this year to be honest I have only seen the last two games once. Did you know probowl voting usually comes from people looking at your numbers combined with what they already know about your stellar or unstellar play. Jarius Byrd last year was targeted because he was a rookie and he kept GETTING LUCKY (your def of int) and getting picks and damn guess what that earned him a trip to MIA (usually Hawaii). Two off Sanchez two more off Jake one off Derek anderson all last year were horrible qb's when it comes to efficiency so its not like he was eating up peyton brees or manning NOPE. But when you constantly are credited for turnovers you get rewarded because thats the ultimate reward at the SAFETY POSITION A TURNOVER WHICH SORRY ASS GODFREY IS EXCELLING AT. Oh yeah he just benefits from offensive mistakes like p55 said what a lucky dude to be so sorry and so lucky.

go back and watch week 1. Godfrey was just as big of a liability as Matt Moore week 1. Week 3 doesn't overshadow what occured weeks 1-2.

the pro bowl is a joke to a large degree b/c of what the "fans" to do the voting. Carolina doesn't have a fan base to sway votes so that conversation can be ended. NFL players who play Carolina are gonna know he is an inconsistant player who gives up huge plays b/c he can't handle coverage assignments. They won't be in awe of INTs off underthrown balls or tipped passes.

No, you put a rookie CB on Steve Smith and Smith can abuse him......if the QB throws a horrible pass the CB can end up with a pick. He made the QB pay despite being completely lost on his coverage and being beat like he stole something. Teams aren't going to be impressed by his pick.....they will go right back to the weak CB.

Godfrey is the weak CB in the analogy.
