In an article that will undoubtedly get some fans IRATE, I am yet again at odds with PFF’s “subjective” grading system as it pertains to our Washington Football Team.
My focus here is on the defense - and for good reason.
First, it think it’s best to go over exactly HOW they grade...
The PFF grading system evaluates every player on every play during a football game. We believe that #EveryPlayCounts and that attention to detail provides insights and data that cannot be found anywhere else. The grading system was founded on the principle of grading “production” rather than traits or measurables, but perhaps a better way to describe it is a player’s “contribution to production” on a given play.
