Dunlap since 2010:
89.9 PFF Grade (16th)
86.3 Run D Grade (10th)


people lose all common sense when they turn on players.

And PFF rates harshly for penalties (he had none), they reward highly for pass rush win rate.  He could beat his man, but he wouldn't play HIS ASSIGNMENT.  Kyle Van Noy said PFF always hated him because they never knew his assignment, but there was a reason he was on a lot of #1 ranked defenses.  

In premium stats it has his pass rush average in the first 7 games of 2020 as a 57.3 and run defense as a 58.2.  

For comparison, for the season of 2020, Lawson had a 84.9 pass rush and 61.1 rush defense.  

PFF is a part of a formula that you can use to evaluate, but it isn't the be-all and end-all.  Dunlap was benched because he would play the game he wanted to try and get stats and ignore his assignment.  

And FWIW, I didn't turn on Dunlap, he turned on his team.  People seem to lose all sense when they fall in love with a player.
