Explaining the comprehensive player-grading system.
Introducing Rumblings Grades for the 2016 Buffalo Bills season. These will obviously begin with the Bills Week 1 game against the Ravens. I’ll publish the grades for each contest — along with running overall grades as the season progresses -- early every week.
I’ll be assigning number grades to each Bills player on every play this year, so keep in mind... the grades themselves will be inherently subjective. However, they should provide a relatively good idea of which players are struggling and excelling on the field. This system is not precisely how Pro Football Focus grades — they have multiple graders for each game and use a different numbering system — but it’s similar.
