One said agents are learning they will get laughed out of the room if the role in and quote PFF numbers when negotiating deals. Their advanced stats are very good, their grading does not align well at all with how teams tend to view a players performance often times. Some positions are better than others though, so it’s kind of just a matter of context.

But as a fan, it's probably better than anything else to go off of, no?
If you have something else better, please share (and don't say go watch tape, because that takes way too long and I'm not an expert)

As a fan, you get told you can't just go off stats, and in the case of OL there really aren't any stats. So unless you're some very strong expert that knows exactly what to look for on tape and has the time/interest to go watch all the players on 1000+ snaps a season, there's not much else to go off of. How else are fans supposed to help determine whether a player is good or not? Just trust the coaches? If that's the case, no reason to really debate anything.
