I know.  I have pointed this out to you repeatedly.  It is totally subjective and the formula is flawed.  The way PFF rates players one guy could end up ranked behind another who played fewer snaps and messed up more often. 

It's not necessarily flawed as much as it's linear. They grade as the season goes on, so since Dalton had 4 100+ games and a 90+ in the first 8 games, his grade was high enough that it didn't suffer when he had 3 consecutive blah grades right before the injury.

And as i said before, the grades aren't based on raw stats, they're based on effectiveness of plays. While you may feel it's flawed, it's flawed for everyone. I paid for the elite package this year and i was able to compare players at different positions, to see if they were consistent based on stats and they were close enough that you can say there is no bias in their grading. Also, every game is graded, then it's backed up by a second look at the game by another person, then a 3rd "senior" staff member looks at it to see if there's a discrepancy between the first 2 that graded.

You could easily claim that raw stats are more flawed because they give no situational context, i.e., how many bad teams did they play, how much of the stats are "garbage time", was it a 5 yard throw that the receiver took for a 80 yard touchdown, etc.
