Godfrey Extended

[Ricky Spanish]

so what about pugh? I know rivera loves him, but does he love him more than martin?

Gamble and Marshall had more to do with Godfrey looking lackluster than Godrey himself

Charles Godfrey got a five-year contract extension worth $27.5 million, including $12.4 million guaranteed, according to his agent.

Two completely different players at two completely different positions on two different sides of the ball. And opposite ends of their career. Why is THAT hard to see?

Cause they are both equally silly! Godfrey got beat so many teams last year and giving up TDs. Delhomme gave up INTs. Both guys didn't deserve the extensions they received the next season. Doesn't matter about what position they played. They both should've proven that they deserved the extentions before they got them. Instead we leaned on hope that Delhomme could have 1 more year left in him and hope that Godfrey will improve this year despite our backfield still not looking good this preseason.

Godfrey deserved this extension. He has shown improvement every year, and I hope this improvement will continue under our new coaching staff. Hopefully Rivera and McDermott can help take him to the next level.

Keep beating that ridiculous comparison drum. It blows. Let it go. And if you think Godfrey is the problem with our backfield there is no help for you. Fact is, Ron Rivera has weeded out the guys who he didn't feel were good for the Defense. Yes we still have holes, but if he didn't feel Godfrey were up to par, he wouldn't be here. Case and point Everette Brown. The guys that get paid to do this for a living disagree with you.

@4:20 JR is asked with all the "old" Panthers gone, who is (or are) the leader/s on this team, Godfrey is the last name he mentions. Of all the guys he mentions, they are all locked up long-term now except for JStew... (CJ, Kalil, Gross, Beason, TD, Anderson, Deangelo, Godfrey)

Our Free Agent list 5 years from now is going to look like the roster for the Redeem Team.

Sheesh.

I've always just been meh-ish about Godfrey.

Didn't think he was a bad player, you just never heard from him, never heard about him, so I just kinda thought he was there for the sake of being there.

But all the accolades from Rivera, JR, and now even the whole team about his leadership, well I'm blown away. I can't believe it. But glad to hear it. We need that kind of veteran leadership from the young guys, especially on defense.

Same thought when I read this

Ehh

That's not too bad of a contract, should work out fine.

I will say that I definitely don't believe our corners made our SAFETY look bad, it's his job to not let the WRs get behind him. He takes bad angles and doesn't get enough depth on numerous plays.

We'll see what he does in this system, not feeling our DLine though, which will ruin the secondary anyway.

Sounds like he sould play SS instead of FS.

Oh wait...

[scpanther22]

I think Pugh will eventually take Martins Spot as the other starting Safety.

No more ridiculous than you not getting it. What blows is Godfrey playing 15 yards off a receiver when the ball is at the 5 yard line and gives up a TD. I keep hearing about his improvement, but that keeps playing in my head along with him giving up long TDs to the guys he was covering last season. He's improved his tackling. But like I said the main job of a DB is covering.

I don't think he is THE problem, but I think he's been one of them so you don't have to put words in my mouth. I don't have to "let it go". You opposed my opinion and so I'm going to defend myself. If everyone agreed with the front office, there would be no use for the huddle. Everything would be just fine and dandy. I don't have to agree with everything the front office does just because "they get paid to do this for a living". So I guess you agree that Delhomme deserved that extension huh? Yeah, there's two sides to that card. Overall though, I like the moves and extensions we've made, besides not having more DT and CB depth and this Godfrey extension.
