Here are the top performing Hurricanes against Pittsburgh, according to Pro Football Focus.

Shaq had the highest grade and Rousseau wasn't even top 10.

It's because they grade play after play and don't grade impact of individual plays. There's little value to it on game impact.

So Rousseau having 3 sacks with huge impact may not offset other plays he technically lost his matchup. Shaq has some real bad plays but also makes a lot of volume. And as someone else stated, some are clear wins/losses, pressures, tackles, etc while others are subjective (like coverage). A guy may not be thrown at but that doesn't mean he's in good position. On the flipside a guy may be in a WR's hip but the pass is completed anyway. Then there's zone coverage, who's responsible, etc.

I wasn't able to watch this game so i have zero imput on how guys faired. Just an opinion of what i see from sites like PFF.

How subjective is a RB and QB obliterating the angle on Quarterman and running for 10+ extra yards?

I think it's pretty clear, Pinck as well. Others may not be able to see it. Same with setting an edge and keeping your outside shoulder free.

You guys are just figuring this out?

Whomever took PFF seriously then they don’t have a clue about football bc if they did then you’d know there is no way PFF can issue grades on any player.

they probably gave him a -1 on that play while rousseau only got a +1 for his sack. If Rousseau didnt get a QB pressure on the next play he gets a -1 and that sack is pretty much cancelled out. Thats PFF for you

No I've known it was bad but I think this is the worst one I've seen. I basically read them now to see how far off they are, and this week they didn't disappoint.
