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.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Watching those throws Drake Maye was making on a dead run threading lasers into tight coverage on the sidelines over and over in that game against the Bills... these people need to go watch that and be honest with themselves. And yeah, I'm a Heels fan but I'm specifically using Maye here because he's another young highly drafted QB not an established top tier player. Seems like a fair apples to apples comparison versus using a Mahomes or Allen.

      why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, McCarthy and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.

      McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.
