Exactly what has been said about PFF grades since day bloody 1.

PFF is a nice tool but if you use it as the final verdict if a player is good or not you become the tool.
Yep. PFF treats the game of football as a game of 1 on 1 matchups. Problem is that football isn't a game of 1 on 1 matchups. PFF can reliably tell you who the best players are and who the worst are. Of course, your eyes generally can do the same. But to be fair, I can't watch every game. Where they fail is sorting out the guys in the middle. Because that is where you need to know scheme and assignment. You don't need to know Aaron Donald's assignment when he's blowing up blocking schemes. But for most guys, you do need to know what they're doing (and what they were supposed to do).

But the one thing I agree with PFF this year so far is that our OL is the absolute worst in the league in pass blocking.

Stafford had absolutely no time to throw on most pass plays.

Alaric is doing well but he is the only one doing okay.

Good riddance and I hope my eyes never have to see Joe Flacco throw a football again. Time for the retirement home old man.
What is funny is the Browns needed a quarter season stretch to see what was obvious prior.
