Guys, look around the board, PFF is the gold standard to a lot of people, and we can't be the only fanbase. Someone is cut or visits and people either reference or ask their PFF number like people used to do with Madden. A lot of us went from ball cards to magazines or Mel Kipet's book, then to Madden...of course while all saying the same thing about our eye test.
But when it comes down to it, a lot of people are citing this company that Taylor Lewan claims players pay to boost their rating.

That may not be a big deal to some, but we have made PFF a bigger thing than it may be. So, to me there is an opportunity for another company to come in and do it better. There needs to be a company that also hires retired scouts and makes the ratings open to the public and makes money off the traffic. 2 or 3 people scout the same game and go through each player weekly, you take the averages. You could have a pay option with the scout's exact notes, but in general whatever the scale is we need to know how they got there. Some of us know somewhat what we are looking at but are still flawed/biased/ignorant to details or don't have the time. There is a really good opportunity for someone to fill this obvious need that I'm convinced is becoming the new standard even if it isn't there yet.
