The overall grade has it's own formula and just muddies the water a bit more. For example; If WR #1 ran 80 true pass snaps and blocked on 20 snaps and WR #2 ran 30 true pass snaps and blocked on 70 snaps, averaging out their scores would be unfair to both of them, for different reasons.
If it's sketchy for a particular Bengals player or two, it's sketchy for everyone in the league. That's the way i look at it, they're all in the same boat and it's all subjectively viewed anyway so i don't really get why there's such a stink about it.
I'm in too many threads right now to keep it all straight in my brain, but I followed up in this one or a different conversation that perhaps the issue is I need to better understand PFF. So I agree.
I'm also too simple with my thinking, I suppose. I like the stats on the back of football cards more than PFF grades. It doesn't matter what I think about this, but I'm acknowledging the bias since I've briefly been partaking in this conversation.
