PFF are closer to being experts than you or I will be. They have dedicated workers who analyze every single snap on a player.
And you say "never saw X player play, watched any tape, or looked at any other outlets," which typically isn't true. Almost everyone watches SOME tape.
But it would take hours upon hours for someone to watch ALL tape on a player, which a lot of people don't have or want to invest. As such, they look elsewhere to get an assessment of a person/company that does.

If you want to spend as much time as PFF does watching and analyzing every snap and coming to your own conclusion, that's your choice. But don't down someone else because they don't want to take the same approach.
