UpperDeck Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 and the criteria is ?.....waste of time Yeah, I'd rather trust my gut feeling.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Many NFL teams disagree with you since they pay PFF for these types of stats and also personalized ones for what they are looking for... You think they are a waste of time but the NFL teams do not. As I said upthread, I'd feel a bit better about their ratings if I knew that all their evaluators had a scouting and/or coaching background. Probably some percentage of the guys who break down video for them are NFL stats nerds. And that's fine. Clearly there's a demand for their product both within the industry and among followers of the industry. I think analytics organizations like these are in a growth position. Inevitably some will make the transition to working for NFL teams, if that hasn't already happened yet. edit: In my last sentence I meant "some individuals"
