PFF grades after week 3 (not for the faint of heart)

How does Zavala, (or anyboby for that matter), get a goose egg for pass blocking? You'd havde to think that a palyer would eventually accidentally get in the way of a rusher for a play or two a game.

PFF has a weird formula. If I remember right the score is the net of negative plays and positive plays combined added from zero. So it’s not grading you like a math quiz, it’s how many positives vs negatives and then some other X and Y factors to get the score. 
 

Basically he did little to no good with very capable match ups and conditions and it was so one sided he couldn’t push the formula to a positive number.

I hate to break it to you but fans don't want to see Young at least reasonable fans who realize Bryce is most likely a bust

LOLwut?  No way you're being serious.  As I've said, its too soon to call Bryce a bust, its also too early to say he'll be fine, but its an unknown after 2 friggen games.  That said, no one, not even Andy Daltons mother have ever said they want to see Andy Dalton play QB right now.  Dalton is on his last leg in the NFL and offers absolutely nothing to us for future hope regardless of how he does.  Since we suck, we need to play young players and see if there's any hope for the future with them.

Isn’t there a thread of folks saying start Dalton the rest of the year?

Didnt even think but yea, you're right.  Its a terrible Idea there too, Ive seen the thread and presumed it was everyone just saying how bad of an idea that is.  Fact is we need to see how our young players are, we're not winning now and its obvious, so we need to see if theres ANY future with the team with our young players.

Ummm... the Vikings are gonna score 50 

I don’t think so. The betting line is going to be pretty accurate in this one I think. Been looking at the Vikings all day, they literally only have the Cousins to Jefferson connection which will be 3/4 of their yards. The OL is like ours and the run game isn’t there. 
 

Their defense isn’t there at all. If Dalton plays it’s close. I expect a 27-24 or 31-27 type game.

If Bryce and his 20 flat routes show up it could get ugly.

I'm going to give Ikcey a break since he's having to try and pickup some slack from Zavala filling in at LG - and is coming off his worst game of the year by far - but it is disappointing. His PFF grade was like 20 points higher on the year after the Saints game, IIRC.

It's a reminder that, despite playing well overall last year, Ickey is still a young player with developing left to do.

I am not sure if we realized how much missing the starting guards would set this team back. This line was put together as more to run block than pass block. That was one big change from last year. The Offensive tackles have probably been affected by trying to compensate for ineffective guard play as well.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
