How PFF grades all positions

There are just too many inconsistencies and things that don't make sense with their grading system.  Mixon has a "good" rating, but led the AFC in rushing behind what they said was one of the worst OL's in the league.

Their system, by it's nature, also rewards flashy plays over consistent play.  For example, looking at their run blocking system, a player who earns 0 grades for 10 snaps is doing their job perfectly well, but will be ranked worse than a player who dominates on 6 plays, but completely blows it on 4.

I see it as a tool.  It's an opinion, but certainly not the be all, end all.

That would be me! And Eox :)

It wasn't this in-depth when I was going through it, but they have also changed the grading system since then as well.

I will continue to go back to this though; the grades still make 0 sense, even with the guide.

The fundamental question that has still not been answered, is, "do they start the grade at 0, 50, 100 or left off from a previous point in another game? etc."

That's why the old way of starting at 0 and if you're above, you had a good game, you're below and you've had a bad game, is still the best way they could've done it. Now with the 0-100 scheme, they can manipulate and change things however they see fit and that's why I don't find their grades trustworthy anymore.

Their stats and line numbers for pressures and the like, are still gold... but I'm not paying the ridiculous price for that!
