Chris Harris might be the odd man out

Interesting..

The idea that Harris might be the odd man out seemed strange, but the longer you look at it, the more you realize it might be a factor in the long term if not today at the New York Jets.

The only problem was that the play that earned Harris the money hasn't been as evident since, which makes Godfrey's query a reasonable one, looking to the future

Godfrey clearly is not that player (though he still has potential at free safety with his speed), and Martin is only beginning to show indications he could play with a similar style. The problem with Harris is that he used to be that guy but hasn't been in some time.

So with Harris' salaries scheduled to grow to $2.05 million, $2.45 million and $2.9 million the next three years (while both Godfrey and Martin are toiling on rookie-scale deals), the future of the position might very well be in doubt.

I don't agree at all. Harris' return to the secondary was a big boost to the team as his physical style of play and leadership was a significant upgrade to Godfrey's generally poor play. Martin seems to be the free safety of the future and Godfrey isn't very physical or good in coverage. Godfrey will be here because he is cheap not because he is good. With no cap next year Harris will be safe for another year. In 2011 we will see what Godfrey can do. But at this point the weak link is Godfrey not Harris.

Godfrey sucks what the hell?

He can't tackle/hit worth a poo, I'd rather take a slower guy who can hit than one that's fast... at failing.

The safetey position is not one to put a soft tackler, as they are usually the last chance the D has before a score.

Well this season he is the S who have allowed the highest passer rating against him and he is the only S on our team who have allowed a TD and on top on that he is allowing the most yds of our S.

But he is a beast against the run and Godfrey cant tackle.

      He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.

      there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.
