[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 844456"] Something just dawned on me that sounds a bit fishy: 1) PFF says they grade every player on every play on a -2 to +2 scale. 2) They have two guys producing preliminary grades. 3) Then a 3rd. senior guy resolves any discrepancies. 4) They take into account stuff like, "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 defendper will not negatively affect the quarterback's grade on that play, despite the overall negative result for the team." 5) They say they produce the grade for paid subscribers [B][I]within 24 hours[/I][/B] of the conclusion of the game. Let's say a particular game has 65 offensive plays by each team. So, 130 plays x 22 players = 2,850 player grades to produce. Lets say those first two guys spend 12 hours reviewing a game, during the game taking notes (for their first take "Refocus" notes) and then tape review after the fact. 12 hours x 60 minutes = 720 minutes. That breaks down to 15 seconds per player-play grade. At that pace, these guys are going to be bleary eyed before they hit the two hour mark of tape review making snap judgements at breakneck speed. This does not account for the numerous plays where a considered judgement would require multiple rewinds. This does not appear to be reliable process. [/QUOTE]
