Grading on a subjective scale the performance of players in situations with objective, measurable values only accessible through a lens of subjective situational interpretation is a messy business.

In general though, over larger sample sizes, they do a better job at assessing how well a player performs than random message board posters ever do. That's not even close. They do a decent enough job to evade the immense biases and contradictions that plague people on forums like these trying to assess in a reasonable way the performances of players in whom they have invested emotion (positive or negative).

Take it with a grain of salt, especially single-week grades. Dismiss their season-long grades if you like, but I will trust them before I trust you (the general "you", whoever you may be reading this post).

Uh, no.

I think the whole PFF infatuation on the board may fade now.

Uh, yes.
