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.
The eye test of who? Fans who have no idea what they are talking about? That is my main point. Lol.
I agree. There is that nuance at every level. It's a very tough thing to do. Football is complicated.
Regarding the eye test.
PFFs highest rated Bengals (amongst the starters): Burrow (90.8), Reader (87.3), Hendrickson (85.0), Chase (83.3), Pratt (80.6).
PFFs five lowest rated starters: Volson (51.6), Apple (52.9), Taylor-Britt (56.1), Collins (57.9), J. Williams (61.2).
That tracks exactly with me. If they are garbage, it sure is an amazing coincidence they picked out our best & worst players, and weakest areas (OL & CB) so accurately.
