Any chance the Bills see Edmunds as a potential trade during the offseason?

Groot?

That anyone even gives a 💩 what those schmucks bloviate on and on about is frankly a troubling point for humanities intelligence, and longevity.

Don’t like Cris Collinsworth, don’t like his site.....somehow still open the thread and comment negatively any time “ PFF GRADES” are in the title.

That’s because I’m right on every point in every post, it’s a community service, it is done for the good of all football fans.

Oh, I am not arguing. I really shouldn’t have even quoted your post. We express the same sentiment. The fact that they had Groot ranked 82 out of 101 and he’s nominated for the rookie of the week and had an incredible performance says enough. But, it is so easy to go on and on about their ridiculous rankings.

I thought we weren’t supposed to like PFF?

PFF's "grades" are terrible.  Their metrics are BS, even if they made Cookie #1.  @Don Otreply is right, they're 💩

How can this be right? There are only 32 teams...🤔

Third year captain so no....

Wont argue that point.   However, my question is more around their ability to sign him longterm.   If you trade him, you get a pick back and clear up 12 million in cap space.

3-4 defense teams have 2 MLB's? Or are they rated separately as just inside linebackers? Eh who knows with them.

PFF still uses antiquated notions like  3-4 and 4-3. 

 

Milano is a 4-2 LB. 

 

The nickel (in all its variations) is the top defense in the NFL right now and the Bills run it more than anybody.  

 

In any case, it's good to see him get some love.  

[MJS]

Good to see some Bills do well with their arbitrary grading and fake metrics. Good for them!

It's curious.  All 32 teams subscribe to PFF so they must think PFF has some value.  And I've heard PFF comes up sometimes in contract negotiations.

 

But I don't know how you can accurately grade someone if you don't know exactly what play was called, what instructions were received from the coach, what the reads were, etc.    Plus sometimes a player will change what he's doing if he sees a teammate missing an assignment.  Too many unknowable variables.

I could be wrong but I think the data teams value from PFF may not be these grades.  
 

PFF puts together a lot of basic data - what personnel are on the field in different packages, down and distance tendencies etc

[Apocalypse Nuts]

Not that it actually means anything, but Epenesa getting some props is nice to see.  He kind of took over there.  Had a sack, knocked a QB out of the game, and like 9 pressures on 34 snaps!  Yikes!!!!!  Pure BEAST!  I'd love to see some more of that.

 

 

Also, to the poster who used both "schmucks" and "bloviate" in the same sentence:  that made my day haha!  Don't see those two words used together very often.
