Not even PFF personnel just look at their grades and say "the higher graded player was better". There's always nuance, and if their grades aren't assessed with nuance then it is the viewer rather than the grade that is worthless.
Joe Burrow is the highest graded quarterback according to PFF in 2021. Most of their voices on podcasts etc name Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady the league MVP instead of Burrow. That's not an indictment on the grades; it's an acknowledgement that the assessment process cannot possibly capture everything, and that if the grades are viewed separately from production and each is allowed to moderate/mediate impressions of the other, that it can paint a clearer picture.
Sometimes bad players are still productive. Sometimes good players are not. That's just the way it is.
