They don't have a system. It's almost all subjective. Which makes it even funnier.
He gets downgraded for those touchdowns because they happen on free plays. Conversely though, they also downgrade him for negative outcomes on free plays (the negated fumble).
No one is omnipotent. Bills destroyed him last year, too. It happens.
smh
Overall -5.2, win in blowout.
:jnc :jnc
Maybe PFF going to that crappy new model is a blessing in disguise after all, we can all pay less attention to it....
It's this years QBR. Everyone has taken to quoting it as gospel in game write ups. And I used to love them, thought they did a pretty spot on job with skill guys.

PFF has Gronk so far ahead of every other tight end.
Montana was.
The only way to stop him was to break his body (you were allowed to do that back then). He didn't have a great arm but to me he will always be the greatest.
Qb's today play a very different game. You are not allowed to try and hurt them (and some qbs you can't even touch) and you can't touch receivers anymore.
As great as Rodgers is you can't compare the modern era to past eras (though I did exactly that!). Just say he is the best today.
That is true though. Gronk is in a league of his own.
Edit. And the coach actually exploits him well in the offensive scheme. I think a lot of tight end talent is wasted on other teams. See the Seahawks though Graham is obviously not as good as Gronk.

Boss was a solid contributor for years and made some great catches for us during the '07 run. Concussions ended his career and he was rightly let go in free agency when the Raiders overpaid. Ballard/Pascoe was our TE combination during 2011.
A tight end isn't going to be the difference maker for these Giants. With the problems this team has - you really want to expend premium high picks on a tight end? We need defensive linemen. We need offensive linemen. We need a safety. We need corner depth...all of that before we ever get to linebacker or tight end, IMO.
I wanted Tyler Eifert when the Bengals took him two picks after the Giants selected in 2013. I actually was pretty high on Ebron coming out (..and I was wrong) and frankly I'm glad the Giants didn't do what I wanted. We wouldn't have Justin Pugh playing G/T for us and we wouldn't have ODB.
Tight end isn't even a blip to me right now in the grand scheme of what this team needs.
I just want to see more of what he has to offer. He was held onto despite not playing in the preseason, so the Pats have to be expecting good things out of him.
He's only like a Demi-God away against great defenses.

Giants working out Welker today, hope he doesn't get a concussion during the drills...

Already shown on WSOP. Too late.
I've never found it to be very helpful/useful in evaluating players. I didn't like placing that much trust in independent and anonymous game reviewers. Always preferred to watch and read All-22 film breakdowns from people I trust. If a guy sucked, show and explain to me why, don't just give me a number grade.
A dumb QB like Eli wouldn't know how to use Welker anyway.

They're dumping off all their misfit toys. Jarred Allen was comically out of position and the defense looked better anytime Acho replaced him. Bostic never found a place to fit into the new scheme. Rumor has it more trades are on the way. None of these guys are the future. Pace might as well get what he can out of them in trade value while they're wanted by someone.
The Bears have two players left from the 2012 draft and three from 2013. I'm sure 2014 will be similarly reduced when the Bears can afford to move on from them. Phil Emery really did a number on this franchise. Ryan Pace needs as many picks as he can accumulate to rebuild this roster with some actual football players, and not athletes who will never develop.
In his prime he was an automatic 7-8 yard checkdown and could also break tackles and sometimes go deep.
Eli or Welker?
Vick his first two years probably.

We just got a different layout in Belgium (AZERTY), but I guess it was just time to move along with the times.

This only needs 1,000 signatures and the goal is most definetly guaranteed. Some dude named Jon Gruden signed it, hmmm

You can't play for picks. You have to play to win. If Bradford is consistently the better QB in practice, you can't bench him for Sanchez. Sends the wrong message to the team

yay we're tied for first
Well yeah I'll give him until the bye to see if he improves. But right now I'm not sure if he's playing better than Sanchez would. By the bye, that's 7-8 weeks in a new system, so he should be more comfortable in it and rust won't be an excuse any more. If Bradford still playing poorly, swap him for Sanchez because at that point it will be obvious he isn't working.

Honestly all Chicago needs to do is score 20 points and they can beat the Lions.
He lied to us all along!
I really wish they would do a better job breaking up the games. I don't want it to be an even split, but Red Zone completely falls off after the early set of games.

We're going to catch you!
I just want four games in the second batch so I can put them all on split screen on the projector. Is that too much to ask?
There's a lot of talk that Chip is a bum and got figured out. I like a lot of the things he has brought to the league. Not everything, but I hope he succeeds so more teams look beyond the John Fox/Jack Del Rio re-hires
Guys were open in that game. NYJ have a tough D and Chip had lots of big plays left on the table by Bradford. Now whether Sanchez can hit them is also a question; maybe Sam does in practice and Sanchez doesn't? But Bradford has crapped the bed in 5/6 halves. He's holding back the offense.
And the WRs have to play better. Timing is off b/c they don't get open or struggle to get off the line
I'm just mad because Stephen A. just said Brady never shows up against elite defenses, and Seattle doesn't count because they were all injured.

If Cutler isn't back by then, they'll struggle to score 7. It will truly be an epic battle to see who gets their first win of the season.

Don't listen to Stephen A.
He's an idiot
Brady looked amazing the last time he played the Chiefs.
Good job Gata
