To be fair, a 60-69 PFF rating doesn't mean "suck," it means average starter.
70-79 is above average.
80+ is elite.

In the case of Bates, as Synric pointed out, he's not able to make as many impactful plays compared to last year because of the improvement of guys up front, so any problems he has shown on the field have been magnified.
