Agree with most of the OP, however, we need to sign at least 1 legitimate NFL player via free agency at the WR position or make a trade.  We need a proven #1.  Not a potential #1.  We can't waste another season of Cam's career with the type of WR's that we fielded in the Wild Card game.  I know Samuel and Byrd were injured, however they are still unproven for the most part.  We have seen some glimpses of their potential and the talent that they possess. They may be good in the long run.  Really good.  However, its time to stop gambling and get some proven talent on the roster and if Byrd and Samuel end up being really good then we will have a superb WR core.  We need at least one proven talented NFL veteran to be our clear #1 since Funch is really a solid #2.

      You might want to re-read that. They're specifically saying they DON'T use stats. They arbitrarily judge each play and then extrapolate that into a grade.

      You're correct (on its face). But PFF does indeed use advanced stats to come up with their grades. Not trying to turn this into a debate about PFF (at all because it's been done ad nauseum), but here is how PFF explains it:   GRADES VS. STATS We aren’t grading players based on the yardage they rack up or the stats they collect. Statistics can be indicative of performance but don’t tell the whole story and can often lie badly. Quarterbacks can throw the ball straight to defenders but if the ball is dropped, you won't see it on the stat sheet. Conversely, they can dump the ball off on a sequence of screen passes and end up with a gaudy looking stat line if those skill position players do enough work after the catch. PFF grades the play, not its result, so the quarterback that throws the ball to defenders will be downgraded whether the defender catches the ball to notch the interception on the stat sheet or not. No amount of broken tackles and yards after the catch from a bubble screen will earn a quarterback a better grade, even though his passing stats may be getting padded. The same is true for most positions. Statistics can be misleading. A tackle whose quarterback gets the ball out of his hands quicker than anybody else may not give up many sacks, but he can still be beaten often and earn a poor grade. Receivers that are targeted relentlessly could post big-time numbers but may offer little more than the product of a volume-based aerial attack. https://www.pff.com/grades So PFF uses stats to come up with player grades and rankings.
