These days, there are sooooo many ways to compare players. Standard stats, averaged stats, advanced metrics, etc. Grading is just another way to do it and not a single one of those that i mentioned before will definitively tell you who is better and who is worse. They will tell you who has more and who has less, but there is no context involved. It kind of comes down to if you're a person who likes context or not.
I think contextualization for the framework for what you're using to defend a take, standard stats/PFF/or whatever, is always important. You cannot just throw a random stat out there, drop the mic, and think you've enlightened the world by posting a stat. Context, meaning, and explaining is necessary.
