When looking at the raw numbers that PFF presents, you quickly see how results stack up against others only. Nothing is accounted for in how those numbers were generated, like near misses, approach angle ever so slightly off, rookie mistakes .... or how athletically talented or football smart the player really is. There's a whole lot more in thoroughly evaluating a player, especially the younger, less-experienced ones. Using these numbers as a tracking measurement over a period of time is where their value comes in. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Agree, PFF grades are a useful tool in evaluating a player but they're no where near and end all conversation kind of thing.
