>>Shawntee Spencer = Doug Evans

I'd sue.

Some really stupid ones.

Ben Roeethlisberger = Chad Pennington

Huh?

Michael Turner = LaMont Jordan

In what way? Well, they are both running backs?

 

[T_Schroll]

Just threw it out there for conversation, but yeah some of their comparisons swing both ways. They give decent players too much and some good players too little. If you thought Roethlisberger = Pennington was bad, how about Dinwiddie = Garcia I think I'll go through the mag and dig out all the guys who compare to what we already have since that's what the team seems to be doing when they sign FA's.

 

[Piper]

I cana dig some of the overestimates, cause they are supposed to be fits of their "prototypes."


Want to call Cedric Cobbs a Corey Dillon? Ok. Power backs with some speed. Somewhat similar in style, I guess.

But to compare a smaller, shifty back like Turner to a bruiser like Jordan?

 

[T_Schroll]

Throwing in Wiggins and Howard since they still have them listed as Panthers when the mag was published

RB-Greg Jones = Stephen Davis
FB-Vonta Leach = Brad Hoover
WR-Lee Evans = Steve Smith
WR-Chris Collins = Ricky Proehl
TE-Chris Wilson = Jermaine Wigins
TE-Jeff Dugan = Kris Mangum
OT-Mark Wilson = Adam Meadows
G-Anthony Herrera = Kevin Donnalley
DE-Antwan Odom = Mike Rucker
ILB-Daryl Smith = Dan Morgan
ILB-Dontarrious Thomas = Jessie Armstead
OLB-Teddy Lehman = Jessie Armstead
CB-Lawrence Richardson = Ricky Manning
CB-Bruce Thornton = Reggie Howard
S-Bob Sanders = Mike Minter

I hope you copied and pasted that first post. Otherwise its a total waste of time

Lee Evans isn't nearly explosive as Steve Smith

Lee Evans isn't nearly explosive as Steve Smith

Evans averaged 19.0 YPC Smith 12.6 IMO they are alot alike.
