Godfrey has no place on team next year....

[Who Said What?]

Agreed that he makes too much more than the players that can replace him and therefore he will either be restructured or cut.

 

However, the Godfrey hate on here is both hilarious and unfounded. Confirmation bias at its finest.

 

As I said yesterday, if it were Godfrey whiffing on the tackle on Gore yesterday instead of Mitchell, there'd be 3 "CUT GODFREY" threads within 20 seconds.

 

The pass defense is better due to the upgrades made in the front 7. Not due to safety play. Our backfield was playing just fine before Godfrey's injury.

 

Our front seven is playing lights out, but the secondary is making plays.  Other than Cap's missed INT yesterday, we have been making all sorts of plays in the secondary too.  Godfrey never made plays ever.  If it wasn't an obvious over throw with no pop right into his hands, he didn't make interceptions.  He made some tackles on run blitzes and did his hand thing thats it.  Mitchell did miss a tackle on Gore and so did Keuchly, but the difference is both of them are playmakers.  It is not the norm for them to fudge up.  It was the norm for Godfrey to get caught looking in the backfield or take a bad angle on deep balls plain and simple.

Godfrey has been one of the worst safeties in the NFL the prior two seasons. It's not hate, it's a fact. Hes in Fua territory.

[Who Said What?]

We've turned the page.  No more limp dick secondary.

 

This is exactly how I feel.  What is the use of a good front four if the QB can just heave one over the Godfrey's head?  Our secondary inexperienced or whatever has consistently made plays.  Yes we have a bunch of no-names, but they are rarely out of place and put fear in opposing teams.

there is intelligent life...............seriously before the injury i was looking forward to him and Mitchell laying the wood all season. Godfrey has came a good ways from the guy who use to take bad angles and blow coverage

 

[KillaCamNewton]

I wonder if he can still play corner. The guy was a second round pick as a corner and then we converted him to safety. Not sure how his cornerback skills fit into our scheme, but i have to imagine he'd be better than thomas, norman, ect

[CPcavedweller]

You mentioned 3 safeties. We need 4. Keep Godfrey

As evidenced by the bad angle in the Seattle loss and the blown coverages in Buffalo before his injury.  Godfrey is one of the players that we got used to around here, but is one of the reasons we were mediocre.  Since he got hurt and we relegated Thomas to Special Teams, we are second in the league in almost all defensive categories.  We are all wondering how Gettleman is going to sign these players in the next few years.  Godfrey's contract needs the be the first one to be analyzed.

you know what.........for you guys who believe Godfrey is that bad please inform me, because this is the same guy who made two huge plays against the saints last year that helped us sweep them.

Colin jones is the 4th safety. Arguably our best special teams player

Maybe we are discussing different players because Godfrey was always missing tackles. He was near the top of the league in missed tackles for all safeties in 2011 and 2012.

Move Godfrey back to his natural cornerback position and let him man up. Drop Josh Norman and we are square.

what blown coverages, and what bad angle are you referring too.........the same "blown coverage" Rivera personally said was Thomas fault? Like i stated previously we were top ten last year with him starting next to that bum nakamura, i'm not use to him i just don't get this hatred for him when half of whats being said isn't true, i think you guys are getting him confused with other players i can't recall too many plays where godfrey has just fugged up in recent years.

 

I've already discussed his contract, but it's as simple as this we were top 10 with him last year and this was before a improved luke,Star,Short, and Cb play at the moment.........you guys are forget full all last season norman and nakamura side of the field was getting abused like porn stars

Shift Godfrey's money to Mitchell's long term contract, and there you have it.

[frash.exe]

You only have to ask yourself one question, do we need to pay somebody Godfrey's salary to do what Mitchell's doing in the secondary, even if Mitchell is no better? Nope. Then cut him

The only time I want the panthers to be paying that kind of money for a safety is if it's for some roving Troy Polamalu circa 2005 type player. Not some easily exploitable void in the secondary that Godfrey has always been with an average pass rush.
