This horse has been beaten in numerous threads the last few months.:deadhorse:
For those of you who think PFF is gospel, there's no changing your minds. For those of us, which includes players and coaches, who believe PFF ratings are far from perfect and often paint a very inaccurate picture almost to the point of being laughable, they are pretty much disregarded. PFF's ratings especially when it comes to OL are almost totally subjective. They are making judgments without any knowledge of what the line call was, if the QB made a bad read, receiver ran a wrong route leading to a sack, RB hit the wrong hole, any number of variables that impact the OL. They don't take into any account the necessary cohesion in a line that leads to better play by all. When the analysis is likely done by someone who never played the game and is guessing what they think should have been done, you can understand why it's not highly regarded by players and coaches, and yes I've had those discussions with them. The Rams line all year was beaten up by PFF, yet they almost set a record for fewest sacks allowed and graded the road for the Offensive Rookie of the Year.
To me the much better indicator of a players worth and value is if a team is willing to invest and keep reinvesting in a player. The Front Office and Coaches certainly know much better what is going on than a rating service based in the UK. (No Offense
