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.

      Bryce stats past the sticks

      That's a very incorrect statement right off the bat, coaches get fired for winning ugly all the time.  Every coach of a playoff team that then gets fired, got fired because they won ugly and didn't improve their players enough to win in the postseason. Guys like Andy Reid have been fired for "winning ugly" like you said, because they kept winning in spite of the improvement of their players. Also, "this is a fanbase starved for wins" is a statement I also don't agree with, I'm not "starved for wins", I'm "starved for a winning and contending franchise" which are two VERY different things. If the team and fans just want to win some games, then that's a loser mentality, sorry, but it is.  We should want to contend, not win a handful of games.  Every time this comes up I point back to the Lions the last 5 years or so.  They were losing games but improving every week while doing so a few years back.  THAT is how you improve as a franchise and move the needle towards contending, not winning games ugly.

      this is true.  But NFL Ss and defenses are actively taking that away and playing to take them away vs most teams.  The problem thus far in BY's career......is they are cheating and not respecting the deep game which makes the smaller/mid range game harder to pull off.  and Dallas is an anomaly game.  using those random games that run counter to vast work......doesn't really change the discussion/issues in Carolina.  Bryce Young took the shots this week because they were not just NFL open but college open.    Wide open dudes downfield that really were coverage busts/issues.
