Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

From what you wrote above it seems like you only have a very cursory and uninformed understanding of what PFF does. This might help, although your mind is probably already made up...

How We Grade

Our approach to rating is thorough, one of a kind, and goes beyond the surface of the game.

Step 1

We grade. An analyst grades every single player and every single play on a scale of -2 to +2.

Step 2

We grade again. The initial grading is reviewed by a second analyst to ensure accuracy.

Step 3

We grade a third time. The second analyst’s grading is checked by a third analyst. You can never be too careful.

Step 4

We verify. Our grades are verified by the Pro Coach Network and their 400 years of combined NFL and college coaching experience.

Step 5

Advanced Normalization: The raw grades (as seen in our Premium Stats) are normalized to better account for the situation; this ranges from where the player lined up to the drop-back depth of the quarterback, to everything in between.

Step 6

We set the grade. Convert to 1-100 scale.

Suffice it to say that the many NFL teams that pay for their service disagree with you.

Just because Cooley (who isn't infallible either) disagrees with 1 grade from 1 game (on a player who PFF grades as one of the best LT in the league) doesn't seem like a good reason to me to consider them garbage. Maybe Cooley should call up Howard Mudd (heard of him?) who works for PFF.

Anyhow....any comment about David? Or does he still sux because PFF is garbage?
