      to be fair, they just pull PFF stats because PFF exist. These negotiations are like lawyer cases, you take evidence from your ass if needed be and fabricate whatever stuff you need.
      Do they need to make sense? No. They just need to exist so you can support your claim to give this player you're not really sure about 1 year - 15M instead of the 3 year - 60M he's asking. And on the flip side, I bet you whatever you want players/agents have also pulled whatever shady stat line they can even from PFF to support their claim for a better contract.
      The thing is, players are mostly always egotistical and think they play and worth way more than they actually do. They have people pampering them all day long and telling them how amazing they are, including their agents. And FO personnel see players as tools/objects and need to put a value on them like they were a piece of equipment. How long will this machine deliver the result I expect before it breaks out? Imagine if you were to pay a guy like Deion Sanders what he thinks he's worth.
      There must be some middle ground. Who will do this work? If 2 players post the exact same stat line, how do you say one was better? And if you're sitting there watching film just because and end up making a service out of it... Does your time not have value? Your work is being pulled in contract meetings and you shouldn't earn a single penny from it?

    He’s absolutely right. PFF is all subjective and they often don’t even know the assignments of the players. I loved what he said about pass rush win rate. What’s it matter if you’re “winning” pass rushes if it doesn’t result in anything other than a PFF stat?

      Some people are giving him crap but Joe Burrow essentially said the same thing.
      He pointed how overrated sacks are because many times a sack has zero effect on that actual outcome. He talked about a game in college where he was sacked 7 times, and he scored a touchdown on every possession in which there was a sack, so it had zero impact on the game.
      He pointed out that guys who generate consistent pressure are the worst to play against, even if they never touch him one time. He noted in that same game that a 100% touchdown was prevented by a quick pass rush up the middle. The player never touched him, but the time it took for him to get out of the pocket allowed the corner to recover and turned a 100% wide open touchdown into a 50/50 ball and they didn't convert.
      Not saying PFF is correct, but they are at least attempting to look at metrics beyond what shows up in the actual NFL stat totals. I do agree that sometimes you can't judge correctly without knowing the assignments though.

      @TheShepdawg9 Před 6 měsíci

      You're obviously too stupid to understand the grading then. It doesn't go off box stats, it's goes off how you play within the frame of what you can control. If player x had great stats but didn't need to do anything other than throw screen passes, he gets an ok grade. If someone has an elite game but 2 passes are intercepted due to tips or dropped passed, you can still score highly.

    • @Mubiki
      @Mubiki Před 6 měsíci +36

      Yeah, it probably made sense too.
      I saw a similar thing on PFF once, but then I spent 15 seconds actually thinking about it and it made sense.
      In my case, one QB had a bunch of yards and some TDs, but like 70% of the yards were YAC. He threw a bunch of short, easy throws that resulted in big plays because of his receivers.
      The second QB made a lot of great throws, but 80% of the yardage was air yardage as opposed to YAC. He also had two interceptions, but both of them hit his guy right in the hands and they flubbed the catch which resulted in a pop-up that was intercepted. He also led a game winning drive that ended in a run play TD. His final stat line was like 300ish yards, 0 TDs and 2 ints, but he played way better than QB 1. Very likely a similar case in your example.
      The irony is that PFF is actually trying to look at it from his point of view, but for some reason he is really bothered by it. lol I do agree that judging lineman is nearly impossible without knowing the assignment.

    If team insiders don't lend the grades any credence, how could it possibly affect contract negotiations? If it is affecting contracts, that dictates that team insiders are lending the grades credence. JJ is pissed because CJ Stroud was graded low. But PFF will recognize that something is off there and they will correct it as they've done all along. If you believe that PFF is wrong for grading players because they're not insiders or experts, then you also have to believe that JJ Watt is not qualified to rate player graders because he's not an insider or expert on the matter.

      Stroud also accumulated his yards via run after catch on a screen pass to Collins, as well as a couple other passes that weren't necessarily "perfect" passes that the receiver makes a play on, that won't earn the same grades as a great throw that defeats tight coverage. PFF is far from perfect, but stat watching is way worse, because no single game is the same. It's still ultimately arbitrary.

    I get you all want to circle jerk JJ and it's not completely unwarranted. He's a hall of famer and obviously knows a lot more about football than anyone else here. The issue is that you all think he and every other player/coach with a bone to pick is infallible and honest. JJ was a great player but that doesn't mean he is the best evaluator, and it doesn't mean he isn't biased. Any accusation you could make of PFF, you could also make of JJ. Ironically, the difference between the two is that JJ believes he doesn't experience the same roadblocks that PFF experiences when it comes to evaluating players, which is the exact arrogance that JJ is accusing PFF of showing. PFF readily admits that there are aspects of player performance that are not captured in their data (sometimes by design), but JJ is so full of himself that he believes he's figured that out before they have. It's clear that JJ understands how to play football at a high level, but that doesn't translate to knowing how to evaluate players at a high level. Teams have an entire set of staff that are payed (very well) to serve that one purpose, and even they get it wrong. PFF's explicit goal for existence is to serve that purpose at a higher level than any other group. There's nothing that serves as a roadblock unique to just them. Everyone else runs into the exact same issues, including JJ. A lot of what you all speculate over are things that no one external to the team has access to use.

    While I agree with JJ, there's one part that I don't agree with he put it down as "affect pro bowl votes, affecting All Pro voting" as if those other two "awards" aren't also flawed. I mean the Pro Bowl is 1/3 fan votes which are going to be almost always biased towards their team, 1/3 is player votes and they may not be as biased but they'll also be biased, and 1/3 coaches votes which may be the least biased but the other side of that is coaches probably are not putting too much effort into this as they have games to prepare for. Then there's the AP All Pro honors, 50 writers give a 1st or 2nd place rank to players, and it's as simple as that, they can't have any biases themselves? If players are going to have contract stipulations based on "grades" or "awards" whether it's PFF or Pro Bowl, then that's on them for negotiating that into their contract.
