That said, aren't PFF grades also based completely on subjective data? Yet many treat PFF grades as if they're the gospel.
PFF grades can be questioned, but their in depth statistics are just awesome.
The main reason I have a subscription is for all of the advanced stats. It's nice to see things more in depth than the basics that we're given by the NFL, ESPN, Yahoo, and anywhere else.
It's nice to see how certain receivers performed in the slot compared to the outside or the tackling efficiency of LBs. Some of it is technically subjective as well (drops for example), but I trust PFF more than anywhere else when it comes to statistics. They have no problem going back and amending issues when they re-watch all of the games each week after their initial grades and stats are loaded into the database. They're always willing to admit they're "wrong" if they see something that they disagree with from their original numbers, I like that.
