they praised godfrey and martin when most people on this board bash our safeties. Both played corner in college and I think, considering they're both still young and learning to play safety at a high level, we do not need to address safety necessarily as a necessity this offseason.

I've been on eof those that have given Godfrey a hard time, but I've been a Martin fan since his first start last year... But, I have to admit, Godfrey has gotten himself together since about midway through the season. Besides getting trucked by Hillis, he's been in position and helped out his corners, which is what he seemed to constantly mess up before, so I know he's picked it up.

If he keeps his level of play up, we should have a good defensive backfield for years to come because I know Martin is a baller, both have shown ball skills and the ability to come up and hit... It was just a matter of Godfrey getting his coverage/help over top consistent IMO.

a lot of the questions about clausen i had to say no to. i don't think the guys on the team look at him as a leader. i don't think that steve smith respects him. i don't think that clausen demands that respect. it may be a couple years before he gets to that point and i'm not sure that it's anywhere close to a given that he will reach that point. i see him as just a kid whose out of his element in a mans world. in his head he's still stuck in college and it seems like he really wishes he was still there.

a lot of the guys that really do well as a rookie or who have a lot of potential that can bee seen as a rookie have that ability to realize that they are in a another place, in another situation and make the jump. they quickly command and get the respect of their teammates. their presence is known immediately and you know their head is in it. i just don't get that with clausen. ryan had it. manning had it. looks like bradford has it. luck has it. it's all about the intangibles that they come to the table with.

How is getting trucked by Hillis a problem if your safety is the first guy to touch a RB it's a breakdown of the defense. Hillis had a full head of steam no defensive back even Sean Taylor will come out on top the majority of the time.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
