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.

 

That Minter/McCree dua was pretty good. I donno about Grant though.

No tandum can beat the 2003 safety positions of Minter and Grant. It's sad that that is debatable. Just proves we haven't had a lot of star power at the position since our conception. Godfrey has always been a terrible safety. Sure he can tackle pretty good, but the primary job of a safety is to cover and he is very poor at coverage. The conerbacks aren't at fault for his play, he is just terrible at it. For me, I'm hoping for a Mikell/Mitchell tandem this upcoming season. I don't know if Mitchell would be worlds better than Godfrey, but I know Godfrey is bad. However, I know that won't happen since the coaches seem to like Godfrey's "fire" so to speak.

minter and mccree are both the definition of strong safeties.

We started them both out of necessity.

It worked well enough.

Godfrey is more of a free safety. One of the best the panthers have had, despite the constant hate he gets.

Like I said, I'll take two talented starting safeties that fit their responsibilities better than two strojg safeties, with one of them playing the free safety position.

Could say the same thing about Godfrey and Mikell. Godfrey is also a SS/FS and many on here would believe that he's a better SS than FS.

I think the primary strength you look for in a safety these days is how well he can cover but thats not his primary job man, cmon.

 

Its incredibly difficult to evaluate safeties because of their actual primary job, compensate for weak areas of the D. Godfrey makes plays and gives up plays. Idk, he looks good to me when I watch him play.

      Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games.

      Steve Smith on Ron Rivera

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)

      Is it possible for someone to regress in maturity as they age or has Steve really just been a jerk his entire life?
