No. Minter/Grant

If signed, it MIGHT give the Panthers a pair of serviceable starting safeties which would be a HUGE improvement over the last few years. Who knows what Mitchell has left and who knows if Godfrey is the player some think he may be if he wasn't having to compensate for an overall weak secondary. I'm skeptical about both of those to be perfectly honest.

Love Minter.

But he will always be overrated by most panther fans. He was our best safety at the time. A damn good strong safety.

Grant was widely inconsistent.

I'll take Godfrey over both.

Plus a previous probowl strong safety?

They get my respect.

Cota-Terrell, Minter-McCree, and Minter-Grant I would put ahead of them (unless Godfrey massively improves).

doesn't surprise me.

I know many disagree.

Cota was great. Terrel Iis forgettable.

Minter and McCree? Two strong safeties? I won't even consider such silliness.

Grant was widely inconsistent. I'll take Godfrey over him.

Charles Godfrey was never a good safety. He was just a guy Hurney thrust a permanent starting job to because he had nothing else going on at the position and was too preoccupied stockpiling runningback talent in a passing league.

Godfrey is terrible and has been for years. He consistently grades out as one of the worst safeties according to PFF, he somehow ranked lower with a better pass rush last year than he did in '11, he doesn't tackle well, he doesn't cover well, he doesn't really do anything well. Comparing him and Deke Cooper would be a debate when ranking our safeties over the life of this franchise. Saying he can hold Minter's jockstrap is reach for Godfrey.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
