Either way, it gives people some sort of context to discussing play on the field they don't understand which is why they discuss it often. I'd prefer people point to that then talk about schemes and techniques they don't understand. You know how many times people say, "I don't need PFF I have my eyes" then proceed to say things that are 100% inaccurate to the actual football world?

The reality is a majority of people who say they "use their eyes" are watching maybe a second or two of a player on a snap via television. They are not watching the All 22 film of the same player every snap of every game like PFF does. So what they are watching is a (much) smaller sample size than what PFF analyzes.

PFF is not the end-all, be-all, but it's a great time saver for those who don't want to invest a bunch of hours watching All 22 film with no audio.

Personally, I reference stats, PFF, and clips on YouTube/highlights. I tried watching All 22 film and got bored super quick.
