Matchups from PFF - New Feature

[Darth Biscuit]

So we have 10 of 22 green or better, and they have 3 of 22 green or better... uhh...

[PntherPryd]

Add me to the list that does not consider PFF "grades" as especially useful.  Especially two games into a season.  Anyone can watch the aints d and assign random yellow and orange colors and pretty much be just as accurate.

The fact they have Remmers and Cam as "below average" is all the proof you need.

Most of you aren't old enough to remember the old vibrating NFL football game but that is immediately what I thought of when I saw these PFF graphics.

which I think is bull.

I think both Tolbert and Ealy have played well this season.

It just goes to show that stats are just numbers. Game film is what tells you who a good player is.

You're right that no stat by itself is full proof but it's funny you should say stats are just numbers because PFF watches and grades every player individually. For instance, Cam won't be penalized for dropped passes, so it's as close to game film stats as possible right now.

 

Ealy didn't record a stat in week 1, didn't do much week 2 and added penalties. Penalties are the fastest way to a bad PFF grade. Looks like he's going against a pretty good LT so we need him to step up. 

Look at Norwell with the highest grade on the offensive side. 

Pretty awesome seeing six players on defense with a 80+ grade. We could be seeing the changing of the guard on the DL as Short becomes the best graded player there.

Anyone else dislike this new grading system they are using?

Really don't like it. It takes into account the player's previous 32 games with more recent games being weighted more highly. Even with the weighting, 32 games is way, way too long in the NFL. That's a lifetime in the NFL and and player's ability can drastically change from one season to the next.

Cam is below average eh? Lol

Too many batted down or tipped balls last week. We wont be playing many fronts that will get a push like the Texicans did. I would image he may get a lower grade for his short yardage duties as well.

[Snake]

Cam Jordan probably is going to shred Oher.  Oher sucks.

 

Just like Watt and Clowney did.  I swear some of you people have no hope. 

[weyco2000]

Wait Strief is rated above average? Tell that to Brees and his rotator cuff

[caatfan]

Cam Jordan probably is going to shred Oher.  Oher sucks.

 

Hard to believe you've actually watched a game this season. The LT that sucked played here last season.

Cam needs to adjust his throws if he's gonna hang onto the ball until the last second.

eh

[Mr Mojo Risin]

If I were PFF I'd do away with this ASAP. No way in hell is Cam Newton a below avg starter.

[Mage]

Just like Watt and Clowney did.  I swear some of you people have no hope. 

Clowney had the best game of his career against Oher.  If Watt had lined up against him, Watt probably would have had a much better game than he did too.

This has nothing to do with not having hope.  I think the rest of our offensive line is doing extremely well.  However, Oher simply isn't a good player.  Just because he might suck less than Bell doesn't mean he still doesn't suck or at the very least, is a liability at left tackle.  I don't know why some of you have a hard time accepting this.  The #'s back it up.  The on-field play backs it up.  He's one of the lowest rated left tackles on PFF.  I'm not just spouting nonsense.  He's without a doubt the worst player on the offensive line and it is very possible Cam Jordan, the Saints best player on D, will wreck him.

So because Bell sucked, Oher can't suck too?
 

Maybe "suck" is harsh (I don't think it is, but it's whatever).  He's not a good player though.  He's below average at best and his pass protection is far and away the worst on the team.

[caatfan]

Can't and doesn't are two different things. I didn't make the inference. You did.

his pass protection is far and away the worst on the team.

It might appear that way, but that's because he's at LT. If it were really true he wouldn't be starting. Your best CB doesn't break up every long pass either. He's usually on the best receiver.
