Their grades are pretty irrelevant but they do track some specific in depth statistics that are actually very useful for putting together a strong narrative about a player.

I think their OL and DL grades are typically decent. Those are pretty straight forward to grade.
Their QB and skill position or back 7 grades are mostly useless. Those positions are just way too subjective. QB especially. Unless you can sit down with the QB and Coach to discuss the play call and all that, you can never get the full context. Also, a guy like Mahomes can get easy throws because he’s Mahomes. Teams have to respect everything he can do, which occasionally creates busts in the defense. How do you grade that? |

PFF provides an explanation but I seriously doubt that their grades would match the grades that NFL teams give after watching their own film.
Player grades at Ohio State are given by assistants who know which offensive and defensive call was for every snap and so they can knowledgeably ascertain how each player executed their responsibility on every play. Obviously, PFF doesn't have that benefit. Still, they give it a shot with the information they have. I enjoy their site; I just don't know how accurate are their grades. |

I think PFF can provide some decent anaysis/info. Sometimes. Sometimes their takes are BS. But I also think that there's not one site or analyst that can adequately analyze the whole game or player most of the time. I think you have to gather analyses from as many credible analysts as you can, like Kurt Warner and JT O'Sullivan (even Jordan Palmer) for the QB/WR general offense stuff, Baldinger for defense, and so on. The idea is to find a consensus among several analysts. If that meshes with whatever PFF says, it's probably accurate. IF not, I tend to go with Kurt or JT or Baldy over PFF.

No. They don't know the assignments. They have the dumbest criteria imaginable and they don't even hide they are just an entertainment site.
They should not be taken seriously. |
