A QB complets a pass to a receiver.  How do you decide if that is a "0", a ".5". a "1.0", a "1.5". or a "2.0"?  What is the difference that accounts for all the different grades?


It is all subjective.  they just give better grades to the teams and players that they like.

Then they plug these subjective grades in a garbage formula that gives them a "gross total".  under this formula it is possible for player A to play fewer snaps than player B and mess up more often than player B and still be ranked ahead of player B.

PFF keeps track of some interesting stats, but their individual rankings are total garbage.  the judgments are subject instead of objective, and then they plug these subjective grades into a formula that is flawed.

I think its totally ludicrous to go to an extreme of saying their grades are based off favoritism.  You think these guys sat down and said "  I like Bodine because he has a beard and lets grade him higher than the baby face Boling" ?  Stats also don't show an entire picture because it doesn't take into account level of competition across from that position.  There are flaws with any system.  I would think each position would have varying guidelines that they have set up to dictate the grade.  They also cross reference it between 3 guys and then a coach.  Just because they don't give their entire system away doesn't mean they don't have specific factors they use based on the position to grade out each player.  

What grades on this particular chart do you have issue with ?  What stats are you using to dispute these grades ?
