This post seems like you are saying because Kirk wasn't on their most improved list therefore they're garbage?

Okay.

You left the part out where I mentioned all of Kirk's INDIVIDUAL accomplishments that supported how much he improved INDIVIDUALLY.

How is Kirk not on any list for the most improved player?

Blake Bortles still sucks donkey balls:

It was just one example of why PFF is garbage.

Would love for Mudd or whoever botched the grade on Trent so badly, to sit down and go through that game play by play with Cooley and explain why they graded him the way they did.

The quote you cite from Gunther Cunningham actually addresses the same criticism of PFF on this thread. He says player grading is where they fall short and uses the service for stats.

The issue is how can they grade a player when they don't know the play or the players' responsibility. Umm, . In fairness, he does mention the grading of one player where he did agree with PFF.

They screwed Trent's grade up big time and nobody knows if it's an anomaly or a crappy product because nobody knows:
1. who graded it,
2. the standard it was graded by,
3. the bias of the grader
4. how quickly the grade was churned out,
5. how many times the play was watched,
6. or the grader's knowledge of Trent's responsibility on a given play.

It's not shocking that a person in a position of talent evaluation would rely on an outside service for stats, I seriously doubt that any GM or coach relies on PFF for grading a game performance. It's just common sense, why would they rely on strangers who don't know what the responsibilities are?

Do these other 19 nfl teams use PFF for grades or, like Cunningham, for stats?

No way they use their grades, just want to see your response.

I hope Blake Bortles gets some money out of this sham.

EDIT:

Please let me clarify. PFF's player grades are garbage. I honestly have no idea about their stats.
