I think their advanced stats are great, and I appreciate their contribution as a piece of the puzzle. But their actual player grades strike me time and again as being deeply flawed (like when Rodgers went 18/27 for 315 yards, 6 touchdowns, 0 interceptions against the Bears and received a negative grade back in 2014, IIRC). This would be case in point. Those who followed how Hayward was playing in GB and then in SD, and what he was asked to do, know that there was a big jump. He was 2nd in the league in snaps spent shadowing #1 wide receivers in man coverage, he allowed 1 TD, he picked off 7 passes, and he permitted a passer rating of only 50. That is a big jump in performance. PFF grades might not suggest much of a difference, but I think Packer fans who are honest with themselves will admit that he wasn't doing anything remotely like that when he was in Green Bay.Now you may put a lot of stock in PFF grades, and that just might be a place where we differ. But I assure you I won't be citing them when they conveniently agree with me. I just don't think they're very reliable.</blockquote>
