I agree, not a big fan of PFF grades

Teams admit it is a baseline, especially for certain positions.  But o-line, d-line, they just don't know the assignments so they are way off.

"I've had my issues with PFF for a very long time and I was their number one rated player..

They literally had to change their system because of me and I still hate it..

PFF has a lot of very beneficial tools but they've gotta stop grading players" ~

It’s imperfect, no question.

But, until there’s another analytics tool available to the public that is used by all 32 teams, it’s what we have. Don’t like their content or approach, don’t use them as a basis for analysis. 

Me, I think there’s merit in something used by an entire industry.

I think its mostly the grading that gets criticized....that's its the least accurate product they have and it gets posted during live NFL broadcasts as gospel. Players get their panties in a bunch over it I guess. Watt mentions and recognizes that other parts have value.

The teams buy data and analysis from PFF that isn't available to the general public.  They don't care about the grades and aren't buying them, heck you can get them for free just scouring the net midweek with a chatbot these days.

I've said it before but it bears repeating - the grades are a front-facing product designed to capture eyeballs.  A marketing tool if you will.  Keeping football fans arguing about PFF grades is good business for PFF.
