looks like the only capable running team in the NFL is the Chiefs with their 24 run plays. Look at that the NYG had over 200 yards rushing but PFF has declared they have a poor run offense. I dont even know what to believe.

they didn't declare that the giants had a poor run offense.  They stated that the unit (o-line) had a poor day run blocking, which is pretty much in line with what Espn said based on win rate percentage.

You can have a great run offense with out your o-line playing great.

Example:

Offesinve lineman gets bulldozed but the running back breaks the tackle and runs for 65 yards.  Thats a bad grade for the O-line but good grade for the running back.

The people who hate PFF are not all that bright and don’t put any time into understanding exactly what they’re looking at and the metrics the ratings refer to, which are not perfect. They just look at a number.

Yet no one picks another rating system and explains why it’s metrics are better overall, because of the rating context this really isn’t possible.

Ironically about PFF without offering an alternative and debate is truly being worthless, and full of poo.

You literally just described the argument against pff because the numbers people don’t know what they are looking at half the time either when it comes to scheme/play that was called. Baseball is a numbers game, football not so much.

But I’m just an idiot because I don’t agree with you.

It goes both ways on who it is.  Look at elfelin.  One of the higher graded guys on pff last week and everyone says pff is junk.  It all depends on how pff grade lines up with our personal opinions and thats how legit it is.  PFF is pretty solid at some positions and weak at others.   I would say it is fairly weak with the lines in general.

Elflein isn't quite as bad as we think but he isn't that good either. But yeah I agree with you it's more accurate for certain positions more than others. It's all just data we can take it or leave it but some of this stuff we know from watching the games. It's about time for us to draft our next franchise center.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
