My point being, PFF has no clue what team improved what, because they dont really know the plays and calls on any given play and how each player may fit into a role for any given team. They can study every single player night and day of every snap 24/7 if they want, but unless they have an actual playbook from each team and know all the audibles, assignments, etc, they are really just guessing. I think pff is fun and interesting, but fans seem to really put a lot of stock in it. We lost a guy who is coming off a 5.5 sack season and gained one who is coming off a 13.5 sack season yet because pff says so, its a downgrade move? I personally cant grasp that. But that's just my opinion. I get it, its fun though, unless it makes people grumpy and pissed for no reason of course lol.
The eye test is still superior most days
Nice post Bengaloo. I don't put a lot of stock in PFF but I like to hear their grades, sometimes they are close to what I see,
sometimes they are way the hell off. There are so many factors that go into how a player plays it is good they are aroundÂ
though. I like to hear it, just will have to disagree a lot of the time.
