It's so odd to me how some people cannot just admit they were wrong. The PFF stats/analytics nerds said Allen would suck...he doesn't...so they just downgrade him lol. I guess....they win? This 100% has to be it. The book is out on how to get clicks and eyeballs from #BillsMafia, and PFF is all in. They engage way more people by talking sh!* about Josh Allen than they would with well-reasoned, thoughtful takes. Best thing to do is ignore them. Edited September 21, 2020 by jimmy10 3
section122 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Not PFF but I love this article. Seriously take 5 minutes and give it a read with the benefit of hindsight! If Josh Allen succeeds, the Bills will have outsmarted basically all regular humans and the entirety of math itself 2
brianb386 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 I have only looked at stats, but it looks there were some great QB performances yesterday. I guess I can understand not putting Allen at #1, but #12????? That is laughable. Either PFF is run by a bunch of idiots (seems possible), or it is like others have said this is about getting attention and they know Bills fans will show up. 1
MJS Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Behind Darnold? That's seriously a problem with their system. Jets fans are already wanting to move on from Darnold and tank the season. Bills fans are on cloud 9.

Therefore, there should be no click bait attached. Their opinion pieces, on the other hand, would make click bait sense. Sorta sick to manipulate numbers to meet their narrative. Basically just hot trash takes.
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 23 minutes ago, Like A Mofo said: There is only 1 thing to do if you are on twitter and come across PFF: They forgot H-E-A-D-S after 'Block'.
Bob Chandler's Hands Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 I noticed NBC shows the PFF ratings in their broadcast. Legitimizing this nonsense... 1

Bob Chandler's Hands Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Just now, ScottLaw said: Because Collinsworth owns a majority of PFF.... that information alone should be enough to stop paying attention to them. Holy Conflict of Interest Batman! 2
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 I stopped at PFF. Hey, @GunnerBill can you remind me of the things you say PFF does well?
K-9 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 I’ve never had much respect for PFF as everything they do lacks context and you have to take anything PFF says with a bolder of salt. It’s all subjective and I suspect they aren’t above shoe-horning stats to satisfy a predetermined narrative. I know of two instances where an agent actually cited PFF analyses in contract negotiations and they were laughed out of the GM’s office. Maybe they’ve gotten better since and I honestly don’t know as I pay them no mind, but in just looking at the list posted in the op, I don’t think so. Can you imagine walking into a team’s front office and trying to convince them that Darnold outplayed Josh Allen yesterday?

I do not understand their personal vendetta against Allen. I believe Their college to pro predictive model said he’d be the worst QB in NFL history while faker was the second coming of Drew Brees.
