He looked immensely better out there today. Was constantly up making hits and had a great return on the INT. He played like a Strong Safety should. I am not saying Godfrey is perfect or even great, but if there can be a thread about bashing him, then I'm going to start one when he shows improvement. Oh and Pugh looked awful out there on that pass interference that possibly gave them a touchdown. So stop calling for him to start.

Finally:

Godfrey did look good out there today, sometimes players aren't gonna bring their A game. Carolina fans have got to stop the kneejerk reaction of calling for a players head after one game.
I don't think it's kneejerk in this case, it's just that he's the most erratic player on the team.

boy I remember those Godfrey sucks threads. worst player on the field? I won't bump them, not that important. But ive been on his bandwagon since the beginning. he won't have great games every week, but hes a good player, and he's still young

Godfrey earned those threads b/c of his CONSISTANTLY horrible play. One game here or there doesn't change anything. Bumping those threads and then saying look at what he did today wouldn't change anything.

In those threads bashing him, it has always been said that when he can come up to the line and make hits before guys get into the open field he does well. It is coverage assignments and when guys get into the open field where he struggles. He isn't a good player.....not yet.

also, on this pick today, Owens was open with a good throw. Line pressure causing Palmer to make a poor underthrown ball gets the assist. A great coverage pick is what Leon Hall did on Smitty....Godfrey cashed in on an error. That is HUGE and he was the only Carolina player who did that today...if other players had cashed in on chances like Godfrey did we might could have won. Godfrey had a pretty good day. A good day after two horrfic days doesn't mean much in the grand scheme.

WHAT....in the grand scheme of things in FOOTBALL YOU GO OUT and try to IMPROVE every week he dramatically improved. That means everything period because you have a little bad feeling for him because of his previous outings doesn't mean you should stay stupid quotes. If he plays at that level all year were good at SS wake up.

He has not dramatically improved. He plays well one week, then he has two clunkers, then he plays well again. . .it's been like that since he's been in the league.

It's his third year as a starter, I'm not saying that he should be a Pro Bowl player but he needs to be more consistent.

I guess it is too bad that Godfrey ever got to play at all or maybe you would give him some more love. I imagine that if he was riding the pine and never saw the field you would be his biggest supporter like with another player on this team.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
