If it's not an exact metric, then how do analysts A and B use the same grading scale for missed tackles? The answer is it's a subjective analysis aka an opinion on performance, so it's not an objective standard. If Herbstreit or one of the other analysts had given AM a mediocre grade for his performance last week, I'd have criticized them too and not had as much confidence in their analysis going forward, the same as I'm doing with PFF. So basically, your subjective opinion doesn't match the result of this grading system, so clearly something must be wrong with the grading system. Quote Link to comment

gossamorharpy Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 wtf is going on with CTB this year? guy has all the physical tools and given his track record was poised to play himself into a 2nd/3rd round lock of a draft pick and feel like he's playing his way out of being drafted all together Quote Link to comment

In laymen's terms, simply trying to hard. Quote Link to comment

He is not by any means an eloquent communicator. Maybe he thinks he has to make all these big plays and set the tone. Missed tackles, missed picks that go for first downs and the muffed punts. Then at Buffalo hes jawing at their sidelines. Love the effort- don't like the results. He needs to play within himself and let that be the way he leads the team. Quote Link to comment

PFF's own website says it's not a metric and specifically contrasts their analysis to stats, which is an objective measure. If other people value their analysis, that's fine. I'm just giving my opinion that it's not worth all that much. Quote Link to comment

No analysis is flawless and I'm not suggesting they should be. I'm saying their analysis is poor. I've been on the fence with them for a while, but here's where they really lost me: Quote Link to comment
