Anyhow in a round about way PFF is kinda garbage now since their best content is available exclusively to NFL/NCAA professional organizations.

I guess the NFL doesn't know their metrics are garbage.

Anyhow letting Amerson go was a mistake based on his on the field performance. Of course it will be assumed that there was more to letting him go and it wasn't a mistake at the time...fans generally want to believe every move their organization makes is correct.

But based on how Amerson played we could have used him.

It's garbage because PFF doesn't put the time or game understanding into their analysis to give a grade that actually reflects game performance.

PFF is a bunch of guys who have every nfl player graded the day after a game and who don't know the plays called or the responsibilities of the players they're grading.

The mere fact alone that their grades are ready so quickly after the games tells me they don't put much time into their evaluation.

The perfect example to illustrate why PFF is garbage is from earlier this year when PFF gave Trent Williams a negative grade for the same game that Cooley said was the perfect example of what a left tackle should be.

Cooley went on raving about Trent from that game. He said high school and college coaches should show their players game film of Trent from the game as to how you dominate and make it look easy.

Any rating service that blows a grade of an entire game, with 40+ snaps is garbage and cannot be trusted.

Anytime there is a subjective grade, the individual grading is the single most important factor, that's why PFF isn't a metric at all.

Relying on PFF for analysis, is relying on some anonymous guy with supposed football acumen to tell you what happened in a game.

Could you get the same analysis on Reddit for free? Nobody knows, because we don't know who the analyst is.
