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.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By Navy_football · Posted

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
