PFF is an analytics company and grading system. There is nothing "subjective" about it. And every single team in the NFL uses them and contracts their service. A lot of the teams have incorporated it on a very large scale.
Now if you want to say there's things to be learned outside from what the numbers tell you, fine. I agree. And I personally find analytics to be boring. But at this point you're arguing what you just admonished; using your eyes.
PFF, like them or not, are not at all a joke. And analytics is not a subjective science. If anything, its use prevents the over-reliance on subjective opinions. It's nothing more than a numbers game, which removes most, if not all, bias.
PFF individual player ratings are 100% based on subjective grading. Look it up.
PFF keeps track of some stats that can be very helpful, but I guarantee that no team relies on their individual player ratings. For example PFF said Andy Dalton was better in 2018 than his amazing 2015 season. And this year they claim Auden Tate was a better player than Sam Hubbard who led all DEs in tackles and was top 10 in sacks.
