These surprise me sometimes. Wouldn't have thought Samson graded so low.

 

How the **** did Samson grade out that low?

 

How did Thornton get graded so high.His only skill is running into people with force.He can;t cover or tackle.

 

Thornton should be - 2,000,000

 

Lafayette flashed from what i did see

 

Malachi had more than one catch lol

 

Lafayette flashed from what i did see

If Lafayette could have stayed on his feet, he would have had 3 sacks

 

PFF lmao

 

Curious if anyone has clemsons PFF grades ? These miami ones are suspect. I need every OL on clemson to be around 0 for them to regain any respect

 

Can someone explain why we take PFF grades seriously?
How do they assess performance so quickly -- is it an AI tool? What is their criteria?

This is what I have never understood lol how many people are on staff to watch 60 snaps of Rodriguez 60’snaps of Samson all of them have to be individual to grade it right

 

The fact Thornton scored high, and significantly higher than Samson, tells me PFF’s metrics are absolutely low IQ garbage and should never be taken seriously again . Everyone that opened this thread is now dumber for having read through those rankings .
