Fans do care and want assessment, they just don't want to actually do it. Which is fine, football is a hobby for some and something fun/relaxing for most. They will use their opinions as the assessment by using PFF grades to back them up. "See? PFF agrees with me. They aren't very good." A lot of people do want that assessment, which is why PFF grades are so popular. They are marketed as such. Other people just want to scream at the TV and call it a day.
Quote:Generally, PFF's grades match the eye test for most positions.
The eye test of who? Fans who have no idea what they are talking about? That is my main point. Lol.
Quote:But, like offensive lineman...a bad lineman may give up 1 or 2 sacks a game. So there might be 40 pass plays they don't give up a sack on. But, fans generally only see sacks and pressures. There's so much more nuance.
I agree. There is that nuance at every level. It's a very tough thing to do. Football is complicated.
