I was talking to someone a few weeks back that is in the NFL ecosystem that has spent time with their graders and they don’t actually grade every coverage snap. They have a way of explaining it away but it is essentially useless. He said certain positions are much better than others based on the team heading and the realities of the positions.
Yikes, that’s bad. The one group I’d be curious on is their OL ratings. Gathering metrics on OL for pass blocking is simple enough with pressure percentage % among others. The run game is more difficult to put together, especially when you consider the different run schemes. How does a player perform on gap runs? What about zone runs? Etc.
If those PFF grades were worth something, I’d pay attention to those but yeah, I’m not surprised to hear that their methods aren’t as top notch as they may have you believe.
