Any word on injured Kurt Coleman?

I believe Kurt Coleman has given up as many big plays as he has interceptions.

Guess we will call it a wash. He should not be starting.

You're kidding right?  Coleman had a bad game, but he's a decent Safety for us, do you not remember Godfrey, Nakamura, Lester, or hell the guy next to him in Harper?  Even with that, Safety play didn't cost us yesterday, they dinked and dunked us ALL DAY LONG and just controlled the clock and that comes down to corners and our front 7.  35+ minutes of possession took any possible rhythm away from us on offense and by the end of the game we were slinging the ball to try to get back in it.  Lastly, when we didn't get a TD on Normans fumble return, I knew we were done.

The Panthers wouldn't need a TD on Norman's fumble return if Kurt Coleman was not late to his spot and took the wrong angle. On top of that he loses his feet and falls to the ground. When a LB beats a safety to the deep spot, that safety has serious problems. The safety should have been over the top of the receiver before the ball got close to the LB. That is the truth. Any safety who consistently lets a receiver get behind them to blow the top off the deep coverage needs to be replaced as a starter.

As for Godfrey, he actually was the best safety on the field Sunday, but I do not expect most on this board to acknowledge that fact.

Stuff like the Julio play happen ALL THE TIME when plays break down, which is exactly what happened.  Also, he slipped, which also happens from time to time.  Look at the game plan that beat us yesterday, the 70 yard TD didn't beat us, the clock control by Atlanta did.  Fact of the matter is Coleman has been one of the better safeties in the NFL all season long.  Norman and Tillman got beaten like a drum to the inside by Julio and White yesterday, at some point our Backers should have started playing underneath, but we never adjusted.  Fact of the matter, there was a Ton of problems on defense yesterday and the least of my concerns was the 1 blown deep coverage on an incredibly flukey play, especially by a guy who has been really good for us all year.
 

As for Godfrey, are you on Crack?  He doesn't start for Atlanta, he's not even the best Safety on their team.  Yesterday, after Kurt, Harper, Boston, Allen, and Ishmael, he was likely no better than the 6th best safety in the dome yesterday.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
