Will Godfrey move to SS?

in this system i think SS and FS will be in name only for the most part. both will have pretty much the exact same responsibilities, just on either side of the field.

sooo...doesn't really matter what title you give either one. job will be the same.

maybe on downs we play a legit cover 2 they are the same....but I would wager most downs we won't be in a legit cover 2 scheme. Especially if the DL struggles as is a realistic projection.

I don't think it matters. Martin I think as of right now projects a little better at both spots than Godfrey based on what we have seen.

I really don't care whom is named SS and FS.

Seriously, we have the most athletic pairs of safeties we've had in the history of the Panthers. I like that. Martin looked the part of an all pro safety when he was on the field last year.

I hope they both remain healthy.

I would rather see Godfrey at FS due to size and nature of play, whereas Martin is a little bigger and better against the run, so he's a better fit at SS.

This:iagree: and add to that we drop our SS a lot in the box around our 20 yard line. I would rather have Martin being there then Godfrey who has missed some tackles in the past.

Cover 2 so no one will be man to man. If we do go man then Im with ya on that.

I expect we will play man under more this year. We have been collected DBs with better coverage skills to make the conversion. A cover 1 man under is one of the most aggressive shells we can run and will greatly help buy time for the D line to get to the quarterback.

Ask yourself this question. Who do you want hammering lead blocks and trying to contain a RB? Martin or Godfrey? I'll take Godfrey because he has a thicker build, and a lower center of gravity than Martin.

Godfrey vs Bush/Pierre Thomas, Graham/Williams, and Turner/Norwood.

I'm afraid.

Based on what? The fact that he played lights out towards the end of the season when he returned from injury? Or the fact that he leads all our returning players in caused turnovers?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
