PFF Grades After Week 10 (Cincinnati)

Yeah, they don’t give him a boost for the extremely difficult things he’s been asked to do. If you have beef it’s with the methodology.

Re: Humphrey - I believe PFF gave him one terrible grade early on because he's been steadily improving his season grade for weeks.

Here's a tidbit from October 29:



So it seems the grades are independent of matchups. He'll draw another tough assignment against Houston.

That is an issue. They should not be dependent of matchups. Why? Because that will be completely forgotten when they plaster their numbers all over the place as if they’re gospel. Then, fans will copy those numbers and plaster them as if they are gospel. The longer it goes, the more context is ignored.

There is far more extreme dislike for PFF then preaching PFF as gospel.
There are also many who pan PFF that have little to no understanding of what they do.

The best thing about PFF is their raw data. I've always taken their grades with a very large grain of salt.

Well it seems like a pretty easy solution here. Don’t discount them, but don’t take them as gospel either. Whoa!
