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.

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.

      I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
