The Sherman was a good MEDIUM tank, on par with the PzKpfw IV, T-34/76 and Cromwell. The Panther and Tiger where much better than it (not counting reliability and maintenance issues), but they are a completely different class altogether. The Panther is a heavy medium, along with the Pershing, Comet and T-34/85 (almost). The Tiger is a heavy tank, on Par with the IS-II.

Goodnight!
I am not defending the Sherman in anyway, if that is what you are saying (mabye your the one defending it?). I completely agree with you that the Tiger and the Panther outclass it. My argument is that the Sherman was not the best tank of the war or within the top tanks as some people here are saying.
