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.

    • I just dont get the worry over losing a practice squad player that just went undrafted. Everyone just made their selections. The chances of a team wanting to sign him to an active roster after not selecting him is very low.  If that interested they would have taken him late to evaluate in person. As far as I can tell two qbs were signed off another teams practice squad last season and they were both going in to their 5th season.
    • I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.
    • I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol
