Can't wait for someone to discover the PFF post on Tomlin

I think a distinction between "data" and "analysis" should be made. I would think teams would collect data from a variety of sources as this is just collecting information/numbers based on whatever you want to collect numbers/ data on. However, I believe each team does their own analysis of whatever data they feel is in their best interest or how they historically value data on certain aspects of the game. Teams probably pay people a lot of money to do this and wouldn't rely on something or someone outside of their organization especially if they are doing the same for other teams. Someone needs to call MT and ask who does their thinking for them. JMO>

 

PFF definitely puts some good information out there. They do a fairly good job of evaluating players. I find some of these coach ratings they are putting out there to be garbage.

I find PFF to be a useful tool for fans, and members of the media to stay informed. I don't believe for one second that any NFL team relies on information they receive from PFF. These teams have plenty of guys on their staffs to evaluate players. I would trust the judgment of former players and coaches far more than I would some of the analytics nerds that work for PFF.

 

32 out of 32 is not miniscule, even if the didn't grade Ben or Bush as high as some had hoped.

You guys are peeing into a fan on this one.

 

NFL teams have their own analytics nerds. That's the way the game is going.

Merrill Hoge thinks every Steeler player is a hall of famer. I don't trust his opinion on them as much as I do someone grading every single play.

 

I agree with the first part of this. That is the way the NFL is going. But this is kind of my point. NFL teams have their own guys. They don't rely on PFF.

Hoge is a huge Steelers mark. He is far more analytical when analyzing other teams than he is the Steelers. I am sure that would be different if he was a paid team scout.

 

He's one of the muppets?
