well i guess it's a good thing that the rams, according to the gang at pff, have a smokin' oline because the same gang at pff apparently thinks the rams offensive skill position players suck, ha ha....

qb? 22 have played better than goff through week 2, good fuckin' grief.
wr? 30 have played better than the rams top guy, cooks, while woods and kupp come in at 38th and 43rd.
rb? well i think we all knew gurley has been middle of the pack so far!

so apparently it's not goff's supporting cast that's been propping him up, carrying him, instead it's been the oline carrying all of the offensive skill position stiffs! who knew?

and how about the rams defense? you know, that nfl unit that currently leads the league in fewest offensive points allowed, most forced punts per drive, most forced 3 and outs per drive, lowest pass td% per pass attempt, second lowest qb rating allowed rate, etc., etc., etc.? well clearly it's been a smoke and mirror job, or the weak competition, or (insert whatever here), anything but the notion that their defensive players have played well.

dline? beyond donald at 10th, 32 dlinemen have played better than brockers, while 40 dlinemen have played better than suh.
corners? 51 have played better than talib, and 85 have played better than nrc, ha fuckin' ha!
safeties? 40 have played better than both joyner and christian, oh my.

PFF is a joke.

Their methodology is to assign numerical values to subjective opinions and then pass them off as "statistics."

As @Aeneas1 aptly demonstrates, PFF needs to step back and say... "Wait a second... this team is 2-0 with a +54 point differential. Maybe we need to look at this again because our rankings make no sense."

I just saw that Brandin Cooks made PFF's "team of the week."

So let me get this straight... he was one of the top 2 WRs in Week 2, but he's #31 on the season? How badly do they think he played against the Raiders (when he had 5 receptions for 87 yards)?

I think Ricky Bobby said it best...

ha ha, so did hornsby see our pff thread, realize what a blunder their grades were, and then scramble to make them look a lot more reasonable? snaps counts are the same right now as they were this morning when i pulled all of those low grades, so it's not like the grades i posted were for just one game, but the grades have magically changed, here's an example:

this morning these 3 guys ranked 10th, 33rd and 41st, now they rank 2nd, 11th and 19th? :D gonna check the other guys....btw, from my experience, this wouldn't be the first time pff screwed up on their grades - a couple of years back they had to pull their final year end grades and re-do / re-issue them after i pointed out that they had transposed pass pro and run blocking numbers...

I was never a big fan of PFF,,,, Maybe I'm too old school..... :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

I use to laugh at posters on my other site that lived off of that....

They might be a few things that I'll get from PFF,,, and that's only the true stats numbers...… that most stats site have... but their grading system,, I'll take with a grain of salt... :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:
