PFF grades week 3

[Joelist]

Perine is better this year at pass protection - last year he was horrific at it (4 sacks can be laid at his feet). He's not a bell cow but when he remembers to run behind his pads he gets good power and can drive into a hole and still can break the big play (remember he had more than one long TD run last year). A good piece of a RBBC.

A RB that averages 4.1 YPC isn't that different from a guy who averages 4.7 YPC, for instance. Team success/offensive output is barely changed. I'll take a RBBC and use the saved cash to re-sign other more important players. 

I am ok with a RBBC provided, as you said, there's no expensive RB.
But if you sign an expensive RB, they better be a bell cow, and they better be effective.

He looked fast enough on the 40 yard screen pass TD in the AFC Championship game

They just make it up as they go.  They're click bait pretending to be a legit analytics tool.
