Dare I suggest that had it been a glowing review, it would have been cited as a "good article" and no one would be discussing the validity of information found on the internet.

 

 

Youre probably correct, but PFF is not without its flaws, regardless.

PFF is good for advanced metrics and stats but it’s grades are useless because you can’t accurately grade a player if you don’t know the play call,line call, route combinations, and individual jobs on the play

 

too many variables 

 

Advanced metrics lol. Nothing personal but football isn’t baseball.

There are advanced metrics in football like time in pocket, time to throw. Adjusted yards per attempt, yards before contact etc 

 

most are not tracked by the league but Analytic sites do

I never said they were something amazing. They are mostly useless 

 

i said that tracking those stats are the only thing PFF is good for if you like that stuff 

[FLFan]

I listened to it, and do not see what is "bone chilling" about.  These guys are not credible even a little bit.

Baseball is very different than football it relies on far more on individual performances. In football players performance rely on other players performance. For example a Quarterback has to rely on his line to give him time to throw and his recievers to get open. Also he relies on the running game to prevent the defense from focusing only on the passing game.

 

In baseball a good hitter gets hits It doesn't matter if the players around them suck they'll still get hits.

I fully understand that Having grown up on a football field

 

Its the ultimate team game.11 working as 1 working towards a common goal every play. Executing as a whole is key.

 

A perfectly designed Power O off the RT can go for 6 if all work in unison.but if the pulling guard doesn’t stick his man it goes for -1...

 

1 guy not doing his job is the difference between success and failure

I personally don’t know any coaches or scouts that put weight on PFF

 

its for the armchair GMs and pundits

'Bone chilling'?  Hyperbolize much?  Or are you looking for the 'clicks'?

[Orlando Buffalo]

To compare college quarterbacks using just numbers without having substantial modifications based on talent around them is almost worthless. If he was close to Deshaun Watson in most good throwing stats I am excited because I think Deshaun is a good QB who played with excellent talent around him. Allen played with little better than a dumpster fire. I have high expectations if they give him a chance to adjust to the NFL.

[OldTimeAFLGuy]

funny or sad depending on your perspective how these keyboard cowardly uninalists pontificate about their analytical expertise but NONE ever get gainful employment in the NFL..perhaps they're too advanced.........

This is a prime example of what I am talking about as well. Does anyone here HONESTLY believe that Tyrod is the #12 QB in the NFL? 

 

NFL QB, or Fantasy Football QB?  As noted earlier by HaplessBillsFan, that site focuses more on FF.  I'm guessing TT's style of play lends itself wonderfully to wracking up FF points, ergo #12 QB.  Likewise, our draft did more to bolster the defense then offense, leaving a ton of questions about taking any Bill in upcoming FF drafts, so I could see how, looking from a more FF mindset that someone could see it as a bad draft.  Me, I still more care about the actual NFL games. ?

Allen makes NFL throws....not dink and dunk passes that look good in the completion ratings

 

The ironic part being that many offenses operate on dink and dunk passes. We get beat by them every year, and they are a must have skill for an NFL QB.

His junior year had a couple NFL quality players, which is impressive in that conference. His TD, INT, and yards were up quite a bit. It might be a better year to judge from.

Im not disputing that at all but NFL qbs need to have the ability to make the longer throws.

 

It is one of the things I am waiting to see......is Allen one of those that cant complete a 5 yard swing past but can accurately throw a 40 yard bomb?

 

To me one of these passes can be coached a lot better then the other.

I'm really hoping that we sign a QB coach or someone who has actually developed QBs. Daboll really doesn't have a record of doing that and I think it's essential to his development. A QB that does both well would be awesome for a change.

I am willing to bet this will be the best Bills draft EVER.

...wasn't it PFF who voted Miller as the 2nd most improved in 2016 which many have torched?......are they reliable or does anybody care?.....

I feel like they're reliable at certain positions.

I feel their CB and WR stats usually are pretty on point. Edge rushers too.

I don't feel their QB or RB grades translate well at all. Either way,they aren't the holy Grail , just an analytical way to rate players. Football is wayyyyyy deeper than analytics, but it's still interesting

Well I've accepted the Josh Allen pick came with criticism. I was shocked that Beane picked the guy that would come with that baggage. I don't think he made the easy pick but I think in his mind and his reputation on the line he made the right pick. I'm supportive with a lot of understanding that people will question it.
