WHITEHEAD A 32?!?!?!

 

That's being generous.

Bridgewater played better than a 55. Pff is out there with their grades sometimes

So Donte was our second best defender and he didn’t record a single stat? Nice. The guy, who’s not even listed in the ESPN box score and has been made fun of for hurting himself while attempting to slow down a runner by diving past him, is our second best defender? Sweet baby Jesus, save us.

This tells me not to take anything from PFF seriously. These ratings don't tell the whole story.  Someone tell me how KK is rated higher than the other DTs that did more than get knocked down multiple times.

Cornerbacks not showing up on the stat sheet can be a good thing. Not saying that applies to Donte here, just saying it overall.

Rating the DLine and Oline is nearly impossible without knowing the assignments. Even NFL coaches have said they couldn't grade players without knowing what the call was.

It's why I've always viewed PFF's ratings as being arrogantly tone deaf. Like in a blown coverage. Yeah, obviously somebody screwed up, but who? Without knowing the actual play call you're left with a wild ass guess.

PFF does a per snap grade so they aren't solely grading on stats.

Depends on who is doing the grading, really. Same way an ex-player or coach can dissect a play when they watch it over and over. We don't know who does the grading, how good they are, etc, etc. It's probably about like any normal workplace, some are doing a bang up job and nailing it, most are just getting by and then some are useless slugs.

It's tough though when there's blown assignments no matter where they happen on the field. You can make an educated guess but without actually knowing the play call it's still a guess.

None of us have also sat down and evaluated each player on each snap. We did the normal fan thing and watched the game, noticing what we noticed at the time.

I would definitely disagree. Players and coaches are more than capable of looking at formations and determining what the scheme was and what the assignments likely are. Otherwise every game would just be a bunch of defenders running around guessing. 

As fans we don't have the experience or knowledge to do that. These guys have tens of thousands of reps doing these things. The only time you might get some serious headscratching is some truly exotic stuff but if you breakdown the film, you can still discern the overall design. Then it is just a matter of the individual battles.

The thing that ends up being subjective is situations where there might be shared responsiblity(say a blocking assignment) who gets dinged for fuging up? I am sure there are plenty to of judgement calls on that.

It's easy to determine what the play call was when everyone does their job, but when someone blows it, it can be tough to determine who. Just look at zone coverages. Okay, that CB sat down while the other CB dropped and the CB who sat down allowed a deep ball over the top. He screwed up, right? Well... maybe. But it could've been a cover 6 or cover 9 look where he did his job correctly and it was the safety who was supposed to drop.
