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.

We've also had message board members that applied to be scouts and played golf with various players. 

As for offensive line grades you've argued that before and anyone with eyes disagrees as for "flashy" plays some plays weigh more than others even Pro Football Reference has a system for that.


Is it PFF perfect? no even the owner Chris Collinsworth agrees but it's definitely the best out there. That is why and I've said so repeatedly they are referenced by every sports media outlet.
