They've been around longer, but with less content. I do like a lot of what Football Outsiders does though, they have some interesting statistical analysis. I just wish they had more.
Sure, some things are subjective, but so are a lot of stats from any other website. Hell, the official tackle statistic is subjective. Giving a player a half sack or not is subjective.
Football Outsiders doesn't have a drop stat for WRs. PFF did. I'd rather have a subjective drop rate from one reputable website rather than no statistic for it at all. I'm well aware that the information is out there in other places (sportingcharts tracks drops), but I just used that as an example off the top of my head. I'd rather have the subjective stats laid out for coverage than Football Outsiders not having individual coverage stats whatsoever.
I like what FO does, but there's nothing that's out there that can replace PFF as of right now.
