Because honestly they both aren't anything special & Marshall looks worse because imo he has a piss poor attitude on the field.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say it: We have wayy many more holes than people think. Just because we're content with the talent level at a position doesn't mean its going to actually come to fruition. See: Jarrett, Colbert, Nelson, Ellison, on and on and on

I like how some give the Def. alot of credit for keeping us in games. Then other fans think we have major holes on the D. Then Media say we have holes everywhere (we need oline, DE and more wr help).

Nobody really knows what this team needs expect the FO and coaching staff.

My point is when Ron R talks he never says we need a Safety. Maybe he likes what we have on the roster.

What always amuses me abut these two is that they were both drafted out of position.

Godfrey played corner in college but the Panthers moved him to safety. Martin played safety in college but the Panthers initially had him at corner before eventually putting him back at his natural spot (because Godfrey was hurt, as I recall).

I wonder if they ever gave thought to putting Godfrey back at his college position.

Wouldn't bet on it, but it's possible.

I don't understand the hate for Godrey, he was by far the best safety on our field last year. I think some people just don't understand the safety position. I look for both to get even better next year under Rivera. I like Pugh a lot too, I thought he showed some promise.. and he's a pretty **** Kick off returner.

Yeah, I think there's too much hatred for Godfrey. It's like some folks on here expect every player to play perfect every play, that isn't true for any team in the league. Also, as someone stated before just because Godfrey was the one hauling ass after someone running free to the endzone doesn't necessarily make it his fault. Did he blow some stuff? Absolutely. But he was also the one busting tail to try and fix what Marshall messed up a number of times. The guy has a nose for the ball both on hits and interceptions, that cannot be overlooked. I think he will be just fine.

I think they'll both play better in Rivera's more aggressive defense. It's rather ironic that Godfrey is a converted corner who was moved to free safety, then to strong safety in a scheme where the strong safety is expected to be more of a run-stopper/hard hitter. And yet he was a better run defender than a cover guy.

Uh after rewatching last year and being one of godfrey's biggest critics he's not that bad.

From reactions it looked like most of his blown coverages were actually him covering someone else's ass, and the replays generally backed this up.

Godfrey can't make an open field tackle......if he doesn't get to an opponent at the same time the ball does he has consistantly been beaten for 3 years.

also, for 3 years the corner has been blamed by many Godfrey apologist for giving up plays...but it is always the side of the field Godfrey is allotted to giving up the most plays. Corner changes......Godfrey is the constant (for 3 yrs now) and wide open WRs remain the same.

I think Godfrey should go back to CB. him on an island is scary as hell, because he gets caught out of position a lot. mainly because his angles are bad but thats because he is switching from CB to S. We do run a base cover 2 so he supposed to play a whole half of the field with CB help underneth.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.

      I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
