Although WRresponsibilities and reactions can get pretty complex. I know lots of guys do reference them now, I hear them talk about on NFL radio, but I still don’t trust them. For example Hernandez of the Giants is highly rated, but he sucks at picking up stunts and moving laterally, does it show up in the score? Nope. I’ve seen him mess up several times. Something is off there.
All of the arguements against PFF except Omaha's are fair and valid. I don't think they are the end all, beat all judge of performance and that someone ranked 75.4 is always better than someone ranked 71.7.

However, by and large, I often agree with them in general and that the numbers I see tend to match in accordiance with overall NFL stats or my eye test. I think they are one data point to help judge overall effectiviness of a player but not the sole judge.

So, we will agree to disagree. I place more weight on their numbers than many here and that is fine. I am just tired of Omaha's continued rants of "anyone who puts any credibility on them is an idiot" number. Get it, don't agree, let's just move on. Closed minded folks and all...

Walk Worthy,
