What about these guys?


Every year there are first or second year players that have yet to contribute.  Some of them appear to be busts, like Eric Shelton, and others are either injured or in some stage of development, like Dan Connor.............................

Star-divide

My question for Panther Nation are which category do these players fit in? Busters or Players?  I'd like to get some scoop from people with inside connections.  Thanks.

Sherrod Martin, Corey Irvin, Geoff Schwartz, Duke Robinson, Hunter Cantwell, Mike Goodson, Dan Connor, Tyrell Sutton, Troy Fiametta, Garry Williams, Kenny Moore, and any others I haven't included.

Thanks for the input.

agree with what your saying

very good write up.

martin is a free safety and therefore will not compete with a proven strong safety. i think you mean godfrey

Not much of a difference between the two spots in our system.

But yes, I did mean that it would be Martin and Godfrey competing to start opposite Harris as long as he’s around.

Advance apologies if the contents of this sports-based post offended you. I'm just aiming to educate the masses. My law professor says they're asses.

Bravo sir.

Awesome run down, rec’d.

I think Sherrod Martin will be a better ball hawk than Godfrey

but other than that I agree with the analysis MP. (Notice how I can both agree and disagree with you without being sarcastic or insulting)

Late in the year it looked like Godfrey

Started to enjoy sticking his nose in it more. He laid some pops on fools and jarred some balls loose. So it would be nice to have Godfrey as the bruiser and Martin as the hawk. Having an option to go either way depending on the opponent’s personnel is to have great flexibility.

Do or do not. There is no try.

The only thing that bothers me about Godfrey..

Is how long it took for him to “turn it on” as opposed to Martin coming in and just doing it.. What’s to say an off season doesn’t turn it right back off for Godfrey? I hope he comes in hittin’ hard next year, maybe he’ll learn a few things from Chris.

That's true

But if Martin has a penchant for being in the right place at the right time, I do believe that would be awesome.

I think the best thing is that, despite how often people may debate who should be the starter, there really doesn’t have to be on chosen player at a position. We have that flexibility and I think it’s great.. For instance.. I’d definitely give Godfrey the majority of snaps if we were playing, say, the Ravens… Meanwhile, I’d rather give Martin the majority of snaps if we were playing against the Saints, assuming he could replicate similar (or better) production as he did in his few starts last year..

In fact, I think the term ‘starter’ is a bit over-rated for some positions.. I think I’ll start referring to some players as MSH’s – Majority Snap Holders. In that case, Godfrey would probably be the MSH but I certainly wouldn’t be afraid to ‘start’ Martin if the situation called for it. Or, in the case of Double Trouble, Williams may be the starter but there really isn’t a definitive MSH. Am I rambling? Blame the alcohol.

Right

I think too much is made of who is the starter. Maybe we put Godfrey in when we’re in our base 4-3, keep him in during short-yardage plays, and then we put Martin in for our nickel and dime packages.

Both safeties should see a considerable amount of playing time, because additionally, this allows them to stay fresh. You may even see a 3-man rotation, meaning when Harris needs a spell, we slide Godfrey over to SS and put Martin in at FS.

Do or do not. There is no try.

Bravo

Great write up, too bad it was completely wrong.

maybe MP chaffed him on another thread?

I think he's just being sarcastic.

Great writeup MP, I agree for the most part.

Jake Delhomme, QB Carolina Panthers, 2003-2009.

120 TDs+16000+ passing yards=Good

89 INT's+27 lost fumbles=Bad

Most comeback wins since 2003=Priceless

Little of both actually...

Just wanted to see what Procton would say and if he’d contradict himself like he normally does. I’ve read here him trashing a Panther player, then went to article on The Charlotte Observer and he was saying that same player was the best thing since sliced bread. I swear if you told that guy a stop sign was red, he’d say since the Panther’s organization doesn’t want to win in 2010 its actually a deep orange.
