I think Godfrey was a decent player at S before his Achilles injury. I remember him starting right out of the gate his rookie year on a 12-4 team.

He was average at best but below average when he wasn't. He showed a lot of promise as a rookie but never really improved much afterwards. 

I have no ill will towards him and wish him the best.

Godfrey had a toughness that I admired, but like most of the safeties we've had over the years he was the 3 S's, short, stout, and slow. He was the typical Panthers budget safety. We always have a few of those on the roster because we don't value the safety position in our defense.

I was driving home the night they announced his contract extension. Nearly drove right off the road when I heard the numbers.

Godfrey was one of those guys that if all you saw were his highlight plays, you'd go "hey, he's pretty good". If you watched the entire game though, you were cringing and shaking your head.

    • All good solids points. I think after the RB and LB, is kicker the next spot among "Legacy" panther spot?? Kasay, gano, butkler, Eddie(best all-time %), Slye, Lloyd the touch back god, Mare, lols.....  Fitz...*right now* feels a combo of all the best panther ones. With the new rules, Fitz is either first or second in starting field position form KOs. He's a weapon and ten yards do matter. 
    • "Plays well" vs "near historic performance" are pretty different things. It's important to keep in mind the Cowboys passing defense is league worst and their run defense is nearly so, for sure. But one of those two players vastly outperformed what most other players have done versus the Cowboys and the other had fewer yards than typical (but still played very well imo, and did all we needed him to). Rico pretty much doubled up virtually every other single back that has played the Cowboys.  So yeah I get why people would be surprised that Rico is so far down the list of O players.
    • Trevin and Rozeboom remind me (obviously at a smaller scale) of when they had Beason as the mic and Luke beside him. Luke looked very average and was out of position a lot until he swapped to mic. REALLY hoping this is another case of that. Just on eye test alone that swap has been a night and day difference.
