Godfrey moved to CB?

Sign a top FA safety? Short term memory around here. Did you guys already forget how hard it was for us to find a safety before Harris and Godfrey came along? You make it seem as if we could just find a random player and have him be effective day one. If we move Godfrey, we're just going to have problems at another position. Forget it.

For the last couple years we've been clamoring for an answer at safety. While the jury is still out on if Godfrey is that answer, we have devoted a year to him learning the position. I think it would be a mistake to move him to cornerback, rather than building upon what we've started.

I don't think it would be right to alter Godfrey's growth at the safety position because of a need at another position. Not to mention I'd like to wait and see how all of our defensive players respond under a new staff and (hopefully) scheme.

Hell No he is good where he is. CJ Wilson is waiting for the 3rd CB spot as we speak.

Not really optimistic with that but we will see I guess...

But a big NO to moving Godfrey...we have been waiting for a good safety tandem for years. We will have one once Godfrey matures into his role.

This is the 10th time I've said this probably but we need to forget about it and ship Peppers ass to Oakland for Asomugha and hope that Al Davis bites...I would even give a draft pick AND Peppers to get that guy..

I'm going to wait for all of our backup corners to excel in starting roles before making any bold proclamations.

Marshall's agent said he would be the highest paid defensive back in the league when his contract is up, and he's yet to acquire the starting job. While I think he's got a lot of potential, he's still making rookie mistakes.

You better believe C.J. Wilson will, too.

Yeah I agree it is hard to find a saftey, but I was just looking at the potential FA S and CB. the S posistion has a lot more solid FA, but it is still to early to tell who will stay with their teams. I dont think Marshal is the answer. When he was on the field he got burned all the time. I was just putting it out there but it looks like everyone agrees it is a bad idea. I still think he would be a good corner, but it just depends on the new coaches I guess.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
