評曰：龐統雅好人流，經學思謀，于時荊﹑楚謂之高俊．法正著見成敗，有奇畫策算，然不以德素稱也．儗之魏臣，統其荀彧之仲叔，正其程﹑郭之儔儷邪？ The historian concludes: Pang Tong cultivated talent and strategic thought—southerners called him eminent. Fa Zheng read victory and defeat with uncanny plans yet lacked renown for steady morals. Against Wei’s councilors, Tong rivals Xun Yu; Zheng belongs with Cheng Yu and Guo Jia.
