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).Preach Spags PREACH!
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.
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.Yep. PFF treats the game of football as a game of 1 on 1 matchups.

What is funny is the Browns needed a quarter season stretch to see what was obvious prior.Good riddance and I hope my eyes never have to see Joe Flacco throw a football again. Time for the retirement home old man.
Any trade they make, I hope it's for a guy still in his mid to late 20's that still has a year of control next year who can help them win in this windowI want to see a couple deals like this for the Rams this year for OL and CB:
On September 29, 2025, Robinson and Houston's 2027 seventh-round pick were traded to the Cleveland Browns for a 2027 sixth-round pick.
A little more juice for this year but another Dotson or Spoon would be a bonus.Any trade they make, I hope it's for a guy still in his mid to late 20's that still has a year of control next year who can help them win in this window
