PFF does a good job of tabulating raw data, but the method of their rankings are seriously flawed
Their in depth stats are awesome to have access to.
The grading isn't quite as bad as some make it seem.
I've yet to see a guy be in the top 5 at a position and thought to myself "wow, that guy had a terrible year!", and I've yet to see a guy in the bottom 5 that had a great season. It can point you in the right direction if nothing else.
A player having the 3rd highest cumulative grade doesn't mean he's 100% the 3rd best player at his position though. But it probably means he had a good season that particular year.
