Can't disagree with that, both Martin and Godfrey have had moments of good and bad play. Hopefully they can improve, however the inconsistencies with Godfrey suggest to me he will not be retained after his rookie deal.

I agree. He seems to of been pretty fair and accurate w/ it. I agree on Godfrey, he is too inconsistant and Rivera will likely need to find a replacement soon.

I think Richard Marshall's bad play skewed the safeties for the worse a bit. Martin was playing well until that bogus fine that took half his salary. He played less aggresive following that incident.

Godfrey's inconsistencies are due to him having to babysit Richard Marshall.

lol. that was a good one.

Godfrey has consistantly been out of position every year with every CB that has taken the field on his side.

In our new zone blitz scheme, the safeties will be called on to blitz much more often - maybe this will be Godfrey's chance to shine?

he is still a liability against both the run and pass. Sure, he will make a highlight play mixed in with all his slop.....but the guy is a pretty bad S. Great athlete though.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.

      Self described anti-Bryce dude wants us to fail to take a major step forward     Yeah that lines up.
