As far as the divergence from our eye test and PFF scores on guys oike Ogunjobi & Logan Wilson, I'd like to throw out a 3rd explanation (and I think the previous two offered are oerfectly valid):
1- Not as good as we think they are
2 - Flawed PFF system
3 - Big play bias
I guess you could say that is part of #1 and or #2, but Larry (sacks, goal line stand vs Jacksonville) and Logan (early season tackles & picks) made a LOT of really big plays. Undeniably so. In our minds, that is worth more. But for PFF, it is just another play. Most guys, over time, this will even out. I mean, it would be weird to be a subpar/mediocre player most of the time, but somehow make a lot of game saving/changing plays. Some guys are like that, though. They have a knack. Or they gamble a lot. Some do like Dunlap and take plays off.
I think you should have a big play bias. Making big plays matters more than just being solid all the time IMO.
But to each his own.
