[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 40559, member: 195"] I read that article yesterday and meant to make a post about it. The grades are too harsh. Only two players got higher than C's, five of them got C's (of one kind or another), fourteen got D's, and there was one F. I'll grant that the defense was not as good as its ranking suggests, but it was an average defense anyway. So the grades should've averaged out to around a C. Al Harris deserved at least an A minus, if not an A. What more do they want from this guy? The following grades were also too low: Colin Cole: D+ Kenny Peterson: D Cory Williams: D+ Paris Lenon: D Na'ill Diggs: D- Brady Poppinga: D Mark Roman: D+ I mean, c'mon, these guys were all in the C range. D is for "bad," and none of them played badly. In the offensive grades, I was also annoyed with the D+ plus that they gave to Antonio Chatman. He did a decent job filling in for injured starters. Give the guy a C, for crying out loud. When they mentioned his punt return average, they said that it was "skewed" by his 85 yard TD return, as if that shouldn't count. The Press-Gazette is always harsh with their end-of-season grades. They just get nasty for some reason. [/QUOTE]
