So I made a thread in response to Pricso's evaluation of our 2006 Draft.

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/11696266

He went through every team and originally gave us a "D" grade and put this for his analysis:

First-round pick DeAngelo Williams had his breakout season in 2008, or else this draft would have been considered a bad one. Now that he's proven to be what the Panthers expected, the draft isn't a disaster. Second-round pick Richard Marshall has been a solid corner, but the team's last six picks are no longer on the roster, including two third-round picks. Ouch.

Well I created this thread http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/messages/chrono/14784626 and about two hours later his grade of our draft changes to B- and he puts this as his analysis:

First-round pick DeAngelo Williams had his breakout season in 2008 and second-round pick Richard Marshall has been a solid corner. Tight end Jeff King, the fifth-round pick, is listed as the starting tight end, so that's good value, and third-round pick James Anderson and fifth-rounder Nate Salley are backups.

:lol: i love it!

it just goes to show, though, that the talking heads just don't know much about the panthers which is fine with me. the more they talk about the panthers the more i find out they talk out their butts about everyone else.

i don't understand 1) how these clowns have their jobs and 2) why people listen to them.

That is great. Prisco is quite often wrong, but for him to go back and change his grade and evaluation based on your thread is awesome.

I've seen him go back and change incorrect information in the past but generally only for the bigger or favorite teams, the fact that he went back and changed something about the Panthers was pretty nice. Even though I still think B- is a bit low of a grade I can't complain too much considering his usual negative stance on the Panthers.

      I suppose it depends on what you mean as 'elite'. I typically mean someone that can play with lower level pieces around them and still win. There are very few of those.

      The running back situation....

      By frankw · Posted

      It would obviously be incredible if Brooks came back and just ran away with the job on his opportunities like Rico Dowdle did last year. But any Panthers fan that has been around the block knows better than to go ahead and make plans for that. Brooks has missed a ton of not just playing time but meaningful early career growth in a league that has increasingly devalued the position from an investment standpoint beyond one or two superstars. There's really not any comparison to look back on that lines up with the current iteration of the league at least not favorably. The key thing that this RB room has going for them is our investment in the OL. The highest paid OL in the league two years in a row paired with our staff should make it easier for just about any RB to get into open running lanes. But that is also anything but a given considering our OL was largely middle of the pack last year. In the end it might all be a moot point anyways if we again struggle to establish a viable passing attack.

      I don't have him making the team and I think same goes for the staff, but they are hopeful for a PS spot.    I mean of course I'd like 3 all-world at RB and every spot, just doesn't work that why. Panthers normally carry 3. dan always talk up Etienne, even called him a future star.....I think Brooks will be fine as a 2 with health pls.....  Chubba can carry a seasons load as lead dawg.    Its fine, I mean backup OGs or CB is much higher on my worry scale(Id even put QB room as worse than RB room too...)
