Its Almost Decision Time- Martin or Godfrey

Let's see how crazy John Fox is...

you mean stupid.

Godfrey will get his job back.....b/c Fox doesn't care about putting the best players on the field to win. He believes he should put his guys on the field and they should simply execute better.

I think it's more interesting that there's a story about it on Panthers.com

Martin Maximizes Moment

Printing this story essentially acknowledges that Martin has done more than Godfrey in just a few games.

Groundwork for change perhaps?

I didn't believe the team would actually take the step of putting both back at their natural positions, but between this story and Gantt's piece, I'm now wondering.

It would make more sense to start Martin. Since it's pretty doubtful that we'll be making the playoffs this year, the best thing to do would be to let him remain as the starter for the remaining 6 games to let him have some experience. Godfrey hasn't really proven himself as a starter at free safety, and Martin already made some great plays.

Martin or Godfrey: Who will it be?

Free safety Charles Godfrey, who's missed four games with a sprained ankle, was back at practice Wednesday. He said he alternated taking snaps with rookie Sherrod Martin -- his replacement during that time -- with the first team.

Godfrey didn't know if he'd play Sunday against the Jets, or if he'd get his starting job back from Martin, who has three interceptions in the four games he's played in Godfrey's spot.

"I can't tell you that," said Godfrey, who doesn't have an interception this season and had one last year as a rookie. "You never know."

Godfrey said the ankle is feeling much better.

"I was making breaks I haven't been making the last three or four years," said Godfrey. "Who knows how it will feel tomorrow or after that."

Coach John Fox didn't shed much light on who will be the starter when Godfrey is completely healthy.

"The guy has to get back in, get re-acclimated to the defense," Fox said. "Then you make a decision."

So...no Godfrey to nickle it seems. And..."THEN you make a decision", Fox? Wow...just wow.

    • Jake in his prime was a gutsy QB. But just like with even someone like Cam. Father time is undefeated. It's very unfortunate we have a guy who is only 24 years old that has an equivalent arm to that. Absolutely blows my mind that our brain trust lacked the basic common sense to value arm talent when making a massive trade with ramifications for years to come. Unforgivable incompetence.
    • Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.
    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
