I don't have access to PFF Premium Stats (not a complaint, as I've always considered their subjective bias to be questionable, but here are a few reasons to doubt anything they say:

1) on their "Wk 1 Team of the Week," they show Dallas' Jones as the best punter. Their reasons, he downed 2 punts inside the 20, averaged a gross 48.8 yds on 6 punts, and had a 'good hangtime'.  But our own Palardy had 2 downed inside the 20, also, and his 6 averaged 47.7.  HOWEVER: Jones' punts (despite that awesome hangtime???) were returned for 62 yds, vs only 13 yds of Palardy's.  Palardy's Net average was 42.3, vs Jones' 38.5.  I'd conclude, if I were being paid to rate just those 2, that Palardy was the punter of the week.

2) and this struck me as strange:

"Top-five graded #Panthers players on defense from Week 1 vs. Dallas (min. 15 total snaps) LB Luke Kuechly - 76.5 DI Kawann Short - 73.3 LB Shaq Thompson - 71.9."      

We all watched the Dallas game intently.  Anybody think that those 3 defenders might rate higher marks than those?  I sure do.  On their "Team of the Week,' to  intensify the insult to Luke, they only picked 2 LBs. One of them, the Steeler's Bostic, was rated 90.4 on the basis of 4 defensive stops.  Wha?

3) lastly, their bias shows in their latest Power Rankings, with losers Atlanta and Saints at the 6 and 7 spots, ahead of the winning Panthers at #11.

 

So how they rate our rookies is as irrelevant as everything else they do, IMHO.

This was going to be my fledgling New Content post, but I am still a 78 year old NEWB, working on my post count

I think the whole passing game was not clicking Sunday vets and rookies

It's a site that makes money off of stats and ratings where they don't disclose their formula. If I had to take a guess they are going to cater to large markets just like the NFL and the media does. I don't think Cowboy's fan are going to subscribe to a service that constantly tells them their teams is garbage. 

PFF is kind of like the equivalent to Madden ratings.

Cris Collingsworth owns it, doesn't  he?

Chances are they'll get better as the year progresses. I'm not sweating the rookies right now.
