I remember a few years back Navaughn McDonaldson rated as one of the best PFF performers at one point in the season.

He's a great College gunslinger when he doesn't have 3 major injuries to different parts of his body.

But he does, and ever since, his play has fallen off.

The play calling is not helping at all, but he is forcing throws.

Its not just black and white.

Thank you for the logical post.

Wait til TVD is gone. If we have to trot Jacurri or Emory as the starter next year, the majority of this board will be begging for TVD.

I have a feeling that he will finish the season strong and then enter his name in the draft.

Boy do I look forward to this board imploding if we have to trot any of the aforementioned guys out on the gridiron long term, specially with Mr. Fizcal and Methodical as the head corch.
 
Its not surprising

Ohio miami- ok
A&m- best in the country
Bcu- great
Temple- great
Gtech- bad mixed in with a lil good
Unc- good besides bad 3rd quarter
Uva- worst in the country

Seems like he is trending down but 2 bad games out of 8 is not gonna drop your grade that far. Lets hope the last 4 looks like the first 4

wish their was a stat for:
heart
leadership
passion
clock management
reading defenses

wish dawson threw the ball deep every series and i also wish he gave jacurri the chance to be that guy

everybody hates on him for his accuracy when hes being unfairly judged. he would be much better then jordan travis if he was fsu qb

every qb makes bad throws all the time, cousins, rogers, brady, .. it happens.. since he is a dual threat yall so quick to jump down at him

hope dawson will unleash a new offense next year but i give that a 1 percent chance with our luck but we would win a natty if he did

I honestly wished Jacurri would have been given a chance during the GTech game because of his mobility and toughness it’s exactly the type of games where he would’ve thrived right now because he honestly throws a bit behind the receivers. But in a sloppy wet game all bets are off and usually mobile QBs give defense’s problems. A missed opportunity maybe he would have clicked and got the in-game timing with the receivers and crushed The gottdamm honeybees.

He he will have a good game

Emory would tear them up. So I expect TVd to have 300 yards and 3 tds
If not he got to go

I understand grading and there’s no way in **** his first four games, against mid majors, FCS schools and TAMU was so good, him being terrible in his last two appearances was washed away. I could buy him being top 20 after that, not top 5. PFF has always been a bit sketchy in their grades, especially with QBs, it’s almost like no one watches the actual games and they take the stat line and go from there.

The larger the sample size, the better their grading is imo. Game to game I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock into it. This is over 7 games. Solid size, but biased towards the easy non-conference games. Their QB grading I actually think is decently solid. At the very least it's far better than random fans that post on message boards. They watch all the throws and assign a value from -2 to +2. And their graders watch more than TVD. They don't have it out or for TVD I can assure you lol.

He had 99 attempts against miamiOH, A&M, Bethune, and Temple. Those Games he legit played great in. His last 3 games he's had 114 attempts against GTech, UNC, and UVA. In the first 4 games there were very few if any negative plays, and a lot of positive plays. In the last 3 there have been more negative plays, but there could also have been a bunch of positive plays still. So the part people may not get, is that while he's thrown a lot of picks his last 3 games, I wouldn't actually say he's had a whole **** of a lot more that have been dropped by the defenders really. Like most of his bad plays, really do show up in the stat sheet. Also when grading the QBs throws, what is the difference in a OC that has faith in and designs great easy plays that are wide open 10 yards down the field, and an OC who has no faith in so is also designing easy plays for the QB to make that are like 3-5 yard dunk passes? In both situation a play is being called that the QB is being asked to throw. In both situations the play would likely be a 0 or .5pt grade for the QB. Yet the result for the actual team are quite different. The Qb is being judged on the pass, not the play call or how the OC is designing/calling games based on the QB...

For example Brock Purdy on the 49ers was getting solid/good but not great grades from PFF the first like 5 weeks of the season. That's because he had a lot of wide *** open throws, and a bunch of "turnover-worthy" plays. But none of those plays ended up being a turnover. So what is the result? The 49ers are cruising, and the National media is saying he's great and MVP favorite. 3 weeks later and those turnover-worthy plays that weren't resulting in INTs earlier in the season now are, and it's really biting the team in the ***, and they've now lost 3 in a row. YET PFFs Purdy grade has likely stayed about the same... But my point is you can have 2 INTs that **** the team, yet have 30 other passes that are all good decisions and passes. For PFFs grading what is the difference whether those 2 INT were caught by the defender or dropped? Doesn't matter - it's a bad pass/decision either way. But to the team and fans it makes all the difference in the world. Those 2 INTs being the difference in Winning and losing shifts our entire judgment of the player. Yet the actual throw is the same... And at the end of the day those 2 INTs could just be 5% of the attempts on the day...

Against Miami (Ohio), Bethune, Ta&m and temple... technically they count but in reality those scrimmage games inflate ratings

Does A&M count as a scrimmage game considering they have a top 7 or so defense in college football?

Other teams play similar and in this case worse competition
