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)
I mean better in what way? If your viewing it as just some random peoples take on performance versus being “right” or fact then sure it’s better than nothing. The issue is a lot of people will use it as some sort of irrefutable fact on the performance or skill of a player, which it isn’t, and so that is where a lot of the disdain inside the league comes from. Literally a coach can grade a play as a + for a guy and PFF will rip them.
The best way to look at it is, guys more knowledgeable than most fans think “this” about a play but that may only be accurate 70% of the time. Coverage is where it gets really bad for them with pass blocking being kind of close behind.
