Our starting #2 cornerback is currently Captain Munnerlyn and Godfrey is the blame for the bad coverage. It's Godfrey's fault that he's never in the right spot because our cornerbacks are flawless.

Can always count on you to have a unique spin on things. Capt. is the starter at this time. If Norman continues to flash, I would expect that to change. Norman reminds me a little of Capt. Fiesty, plays with confindence, and has a chip on his shoulder. Only with more size.

If Norman does win that other CB spot it can only help Godfrey. It would allow Godfrey to focus on his own responsibilities and assignments. Might just make a positive difference? Why Not?

Or, maybe Norman can be that guy and give us two solid CBs. That would allow Godfrey to actually play his own position. Instead of cheating to help, he can stay home.

It will be what it is.

Godfrey has never played S well at any level....he just isn't a S. FS or SS regardless of CBs on the field....he consistantly has struggled with coverage assignments and open field ball carriers.

Cheating in coverage has nothing to do with a S not being able to tackle runners in the open field.

This Godfrey can't play S campaign began in 2008.

So let's not act like Captain started something in 2011....and Martin at FS was more often responsible for aiding Captain not Godfrey.

It's ok if you think Godfrey is the worst safety in the league. But quit saying stuff like "WE" think he is the worst safety in the league. Or he hasn't played well at safety even when he was an alternate for the pro bowl. He is not Reed or Polamalu, but he isn't the worst player in the history of league either.

As a Big10 fan I have to disagree with your assessment. Iowa used him where they needed him. He did it well enough to be drafted. And has generally done a fine job for us. As a Lions fan, let me tell you. Godfrey is not as bad as you believe.

I pay attention to him probably more than anyone else. He throws his body around, he is solid in run support, he does catch the ball when he gets the chance, he does go for the shot not the tackle too often, but he has been pretty solid too me.

Would I make a change if it were available? Damm Skippy! Solid is fine. But, I would not quit looking to upgrade.

Godfrey's problems can't all be laid off on the corners. Watch his play against Houston where he was in man coverage vs the TE. He got juked out of his shoes by a bigger and probably less athletic player, and was in no position to make any kind of play on the ball.

That's why some of us have a hard time reconciling what Rivera says vs what we see on the field.

The point is, a lot of safeties get juked out fo their shoes. There is reason tight ends are playing bigger roles in offensive game plans. The issue is, since we follow the panthers so closely some of us accentuate plays he misses and gloss over plays he makes. Being fair, it could possibly be the same in the other direction. Usually as is the case, the answer probably lies in the middle.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
