They are not gospel. Whats worse is their use here at seahawks.net has created far more confusion than clarification. The reason is that too many users of PFF data don't understand what it is they are playing with. New age analytic sites including PFF are works in progress. The data produced on players, coaches and officials are works in progress. They do not produce, by way of analogy, the equivalent of definitive SAT or ACT score on anybody.
During this past past season, and by way of analogy, too many .net members were shooting PFF grades back and forth as if they had never been on a range before ..... much less participated in a gun safety course.
Although administrators and/or moderators may chose to move this to the NFL forum after a time, I've posted it in the main forum because of the growing challenges we have recently seen at .net over poorly understood analytic sites. Since the introduction of analytic sites has been unleashed on the public and is growing, it is my hope that we can all learn and benefit together in this thread.
With the off season upon us, I present to you a couple of links to off site discussions and opinions for your review and edification. Please feel free to contribute additional links on the subject.
