In one of his comments, Goodberry said the Reader grade must "have been corrected." Which begs the questions: "Was this an error in listing the grade, or was the initial low grade what PFF came up with originally? If the second, then what prompted the review and change? Was it blowback over the low grade or a standard process in place to review grades? If a standard process, then why present the grades until the process is complete?"
I have a suspicion that the grade was corrected because of blowback over the initial grade. I know that scenario happened at least once before, because PFF admitted after criticism of a grade that they went back and reviewed it. But if a response to criticism can trigger a review and correction, this makes PFF look very subjective.
But for some reason PFF presented a grade for Reader to the public and then "corrected it." I don't know if PFF would be open with the public on why the grade was changed, but for such an important statistic, one presented on the TV broadcasts when they introduce players, it would be nice to be open on the process and to have trust in the grades.
