considering he lost one game with a late pick and only won the other with a miracle, blind throw, the results were mixed at best
Tua played at 60% last year

Worried eh?
Can we put all your lame ass Watson takes in one place and burn Em
I really can’t believe that anyone who actually knows anything about football actually takes PFF seriously. A bunch of nerds who never played a down of football feeding their biased information into their computers and coming up with their own clueless rankings.PFF is absolute garbage. Keep hanging onto them though.
Bill Belichick admits his limitations studying film, challenges accuracy of PFF
“We get it wrong, too. We’re watching another team on film, and we’ve seen all their plays and we’re still not even sure who was supposed to do what.”patriotswire.usatoday.com
Here's a prime example as there is a click on here that hold PFF tighter than thier little dinky, especially with Oline rankings.
I think I will just watch the games and form my own opinions and skip the BS the nerds are spreading.

Sorry but it was not sub par, it was average at the least.
You don't have to play the sport to be informative and be a good analysis. The late Howard Cosell did not play much football.
Cosell was effective because he was a personality but I never saw him as someone who actually had a lot of football knowledge. The fact they always had two former football players in the booth to explain what was happening on the field while Costello rambled on clearly showed he wasn’t put in the booth as an expert on the game of football.
I respect your opinion and all people's opinion. However, when people want to put down my opinion and your opinion, and dress up their opinion as fact, and ask for proof, then only stats and numbers from places like ppf can use as metric.
I am sure you are right about Cosell. But I am absolutely certain he had more knowledge in football than most here. Me included.
I liked Cosell in the booth because of the entertainment factor he bought to MNF but I never saw him as a football expert. I listened to Frank and Dandy Don when it came to explaining what was happening on the field and I listened to Cosell when I needed a good laugh during a boring game.

Cosell had a connection with Ali.
Made him a star but football wasn't really his wheelhouse as I remember
He was entertaining on MNF

Cosell had an amazingly thin skin.
There was a bar where they raffled off a chance to throw a brick through a TV screen when Howard was talking. He sued them.
Free publicity and he couldn't take the criticism... sad for a guy who made his living doing commentary.

Worry about what? I want Tua to improve and take the next step. I only worry if he fail to achieve that.
Thats how I defined between homer, fan and hater.
Homer, all players in the team can't do no wrong. And will find excuses for any bad performance.
Fan, call it what it is. Give both praises and criticisms. Want the team to do good and don't mind player changes.
Hater, has their own agender to want the player to fail, even it means dragging down the team as a whole.

Do you even realize what PFF is? It is absolutely not a statistic. Passer rating, QBR,YPA, TD/INT ratio,ECT these stats and stated as a fact.Those can be stated as facts because they are stats you can argue over what stat is more important but that is it.
No PFF is not a stat nor a fact. PFF is mainly based of a person giving a grade on each snap to a player from -2 to 2. It is an opinion and not every snap/player is even graded by the same person. It is absolutely full of human bias/error. So you can use PFF to support your opinion but you can't state it as fact.
PFF grades every NFL player on every play on a scale of -2 to +2 using half point increments.[6] The grades are based on context and performance. A four-yard run that gains a first down after two broken tackles will receive a better grade than a four-yard run on 3rd & 5, where the ball carrier does nothing more than expected. A quarterback who makes a good pass that a receiver tips into the arms of a defender will not negatively affect the quarterback's grade on that play, despite the overall negative result for the team. So it is better than pure stats such as TD/INT radio.
It is sudjective, however it has a straight set of rules. Way better than so call 'eye test'.
