PFF ranks teams by number of "missing pieces" from being a super bowl contending team

This thing is bologna. Going through looking at other teams and ours, their evaluation of players seems off. Desean jackson is one, he is rated as just good for washington. I believe he js elite but maybe his stats dont show it, his qb level is poor. Stats alone doesnt properly grade players. And they have a few players rated average on our squad that i think are far from that. But what do i know? Still pretty cool thought.

they actually mentioned in deseans section that he is an elite player but qb play was a factor.

Olsen ran a 4.51 at the combine when he came into the league.. that was better than what Graham and gronk ran at their combines. TE isn't a fast position. It's a "block well and catch the ball when your number is called" position. Olsen is absolutely elite

Yeh Olsen is probably the most underrated tightend in the league.

Hes the same size as Cam, runs a 4.5. I have rarely seen him drop. I think most sites credit him with 2-4 for the year.

PFF grades should kind of be taken with a grain of salt.  A tackle that loses a battle to an undrafted rookie is graded the same as a one that looses a battle to JJ Watt.  It's like a +1 or -1 no matter who you are playing against. 

 

Also some of the coverage grades are kind of questionable. A LB or CB or S that picks up a receiver that was not his responsibility,  but no one else picked him up gets graded down for allowing the catch.  But he was picking up for someone elses mistake.  So should he be?  

 

All I am saying is PFF is a good base line to grade someone but its not like its the bible or something.

I think Remmers is our viable RT. Unless he degrades.

Successful teams never just pencil in a guy that had a few good games as the starter.

Competition always breeds success

The Browns tied for sixth?  That is rich

 

The browns played really well this season, they were a good team. Just marred by terrible QB play.

If you are putting a lot of stock in PFF offensive line grades, then.... Welp.

2 Tackles, 2 WRs, 2 Safeties? Super Bowl?

2 Super Bowls*

I don't disagree.

Lol at the 49ers being anywhere near a super bowl.

And the Cowboys too.

He must've gotten the jump on the gun, or 4.51 is "slow," because he is.

This is report is very well done. Thanks for the link.

YAC make WRs elite, not TEs. Sure, it's nice, but not really the expected for TEs in order to be considered elite

 

Jimmy Graham is elite. Olsen has great hands, but Jimmy Graham, he is not.

 

So, I guess for TEs, there's "elite" (aka, NORMAL limitations), and then there's super-elite Jimmy Graham.

How else are we going to grade offensive lineman?  Madden?
