B-but when Kyler has a good grade people post it here
PFF doesn’t know what they’re doing until it supports my agenda
That trusty Uber driver story sounds legit.
wtf JJ I told you that shit in confidence.
Nah JJ doesn’t understand that Uber drivers pulling up the All-22 pausing every 10 seconds to take notes a real hard part time PFF worker
The major issue with PFF is their grading process is entirely opaque. You can’t go “ok, let’s me look at why they gave this guy this grade.” You can’t go see an individual game, broken down to individual plays, and see what they were looking at. That’s the major issue.
How many NFL players are taking ubers?
I’ve literally been saying the exact same thing that JJ said about assignments and roles of players in the defensive unit, every time somebody criticised D-Rob and called him a bust. The coaching staff have said they were happy with his performances, they kept giving him snaps. He was taking 60% double teams. His assignment was not always to get to the quarterback, but PFF seems to grade d line as if they should only ever get to the QB every play.
PFF also likes to grade popular players higher, guys like Garrett, Watt, Parsons etc, PFF will assign blame to somebody else when those guys miss a play. But usually when rating Murray for example they blame him for receiver drops quite often.
