Do we need to be worried about Shelley Smith?

[Zounds]

True but, I believe most can look at a play and see if the QB appeared to make a decision or throw earlier than he would have liked to.

I disagree. Lots of these "hurries" are borderline calls. How about a screen pass where the OL intentionally lets the DL get penetration? What about on a blitz play where a rusher is intentionally left unblocked, and the receiver is determined pre-snap? What if a rusher gets right up into a QB's face but that QB's throw is unaffected by the rusher? I believe we've had this discussion before and there are lots of contingencies we could discus here, but there have been times where I have watched a player and could not even come close o justifying the grade PFF had given them.

All good points, and subject to one's opinion. Which players are we talking about?

Go look up my first post about Shelly. Then we will chat.

You mean this...

"Yeah, and that reason is because we decided not to get the best OG available, and decided to settle for Shelly instead. Now it is playing out like everyone knew it would. Shelly is not a starting caliber OG, never was and never will be. Thomas and either Brenner or Turner are your day one starters unless you bring someone in."

Really insightful....that's what I based most of my comments on, this baseless comment.

lets hope these clowns at pff can differentiate letting someone go free on a designed screen play vs a blown protection when determining a pressure on a play...smh

all of those things u listed if someones grading them the right way should be able to be determined properly...i hope these across the pond cats can do it otherwise they have zero credibility

If you remember. last season I compared what you said to what they said after a game or 2, and you both said the same things. FWIW.
