Suddenly, everyone loves PFF.
Back when I made PFF threads, I'd get a bunch of "PFF doesn't mean shite" and "that grade is bullshite, it doesn't meet my eye test" week in and week out.
Even after I wrote in a disclaimer that "these grades should be taken with a grain of salt," I still got complaints.

And Lattimore was the 4th overall highest graded CB in the league last week. I love that we finally have some athleticism in the defensive backfield again. Our best teams always had that difference maker.

whats funny is PFF was more accurate when you were posting it than it is now.

I have to be honest the only reason I've paid attention this season is because of how well Tredavious White and Kendall Beckwith are playing.

I definitely prefer the old PFF.
When they changed up their scoring and the interface, it was borderline unusable.
They went from basically using z-scores to using...I have no idea what...school grades?
And then you couldn't find player's grades as easily as you could before.
It's why I let my subscription lapse.

Probably a good thing. Any grown man paying for a PFF subscription needs to take a long hard look in the mirror.

I'm saving my money for a Josh Dobbs fathead.

If I were a writer I'd pay for it. Sucks that it's outrageously expensive

I still treat PFF the same. It's good to get a gauge of where a player might fall, but realize these guys are fans like us and they also don't know the play calls on every play and what everyone is supposed to be doing.
I think the out of a hundred thing they do now is better than the plus/minus/nil thing they did for each play because many plays just used nil.
Edit:
To take that last comment further, if they had a player who was deemed to "do his job" on 65 snaps (for a nil score) but was deemed to have 5 bad plays, he'd finish with a -1.0 (iirc).
So while said player didn't do anything spectacular all game to earn any pluses, he did his job for 93% of the snaps, while only having bad plays on 7%.
I always thought the players should get some kind of positive score just for "doing their job".

Lattimore will be an all pro one day if health allows

I don't particularly like highest rated "rookie" categories...how many actual rookies are starting at each position...if he were the 3rd best Safety through 4 weeks I would be more excited. He has played well and I like his movement to the ball. Should have had a pick last week but I guess the speed of the game and being in the moment his hands were just out of position. Bright future for sure.

What this says is that we are basically getting the same level of production from Williams as Adams and Hooker. Great pick.

PFF guys rave on twitter about Lattimore. Saw a thread between a couple of them asking who was a better prospect at CB in the last 15 years. They came up with 10 possibilities. Prospect, keep in mind. Couple of them already crowning him as a top 12 CB in the league. Obviously we're all pumping breaks a bit, but it's exciting to know that people who have at the very least an advanced knowledge of football can already see extreme potential in Lattimore.

He makes complex changes in direction look easy. Very fluid when receivers make cuts. Can't teach that

Any article that puts a Saint or the team in a positive light is a "good read."
