This is not an isolated occurrence, either; he had a PFF rating of 75.3 with the Cardinals in 2018. That included a run defense grade of 80.2.

While Bynes is a good run defender, he really stood out in pass coverage. Opponets had a passer rating of only 47.4, when targeting him. Let's compare that to his fellow inside linebackers.

Opponent passer rating when targeted

Josh Bynes: 47.4
L.J. Fort: 84.1
Patrick Onwuasor: 118.6
Chris Board: 118.7

No PFF did not.

PFF gave statistics, the article cited "said" that.  And reading Baltimore Beat Down (i.e. an unaffiliated Ravens fan site) isn't where I would go for unbiased player analysis. I especially wouldn't use a slant article about re-signing him.

There is a reason that LJ Fort was given a bigger contract and Bynes was not.... Age? Nope they are both the same age. Bynes wanted more money? Nope. LJ Fort still makes more money... Draft status? Nope. Both were UDFA too. I am not saying LJ Fort is better just stating facts and providing some counter facts to that article's "superstar Bynes" reporting.

*not calling you out, but stats are stats and analysis is just that... I wouldn't judge Daniel Jones based a few facts off a Giants fan site.  I think when we use facts to prove our case it is easy to provide 2-3. But that is not a PFF article.
