About as valuable as mock drafts. I think most of you know that already, but it's fun to look back and laugh at the ignorance. Keep these in mind when guys start writing about this year's free agency period. 

CBS/Pete Prisco, 2015:

Carolina Panthers

Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman didn't do much of anything in free agency, so it's hard to grade this team. They added Michael Oher to play tackle, but he has struggled the past two seasons. They also signed receiver Ted Ginn. That's about it.

Grade: D

Pete Prisco should pretty much be ignored when it comes to anything he says related to CAR.  He has hated our team for years.

Stems partially from a nasty back and forth between he and Tom Sorenson back when Prisco was the Jags beat writer.

Oh yeah, I had forgotten about that.  He was really salty about us when we went to the SB back in 03-04.  Also stems from him being a JAX guy - - with CAR and JAX getting teams at the same time, for quite a while there was a real rivalry between us.  Now....not so much.

Anyway, Prisco is a pinhead not to mention a terrible writer, often he does not know his subject material and simply guesses (Person......).

My favorite Prisco story was the time he listed his Top Ten quarterbacks in the league and had Chad Pennington at number ten. Then just a few days later he responded to a fan question by saying he didn't consider Pennington a Top Ten quarterback.

LOL I remember that.  

As long as Prisco is around, Joe Person can take comfort that he is not the biggest dumbass in the media, and Darin Gantt can take comfort in the fact that he is not the biggest jackass behind a keyboard.  Prisco gets both of those titles.

Oher played very well at LT (signifigantly outperforming his contract), Ginn ended up being our biggest threat at WR and Coleman (who he didn't even mention) damn near made the Pro Bowl

LULLLLZZZZZZZZ

No mention of the 7 ints we got from Kurt Coleman? Prisco's panthers analysis isn't worth the paper it's written on. 

you are using the term "analysis" very loosely.  All Prisco does is throw poo against the wall and HOPE that at least one thing happens.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.

      Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.

      Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
