[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1098738, member: 10086"] I’ll take you for your word there. I 100% agree he needs to clean up parts of his game like getting grabby and causing negative plays. If he could get into respectable 6-8 across a season that would help. Although if someone is going to make assertions of quality and going to use PFF as evidence? We should factor that 114 CB’s eligible and the [B]median grade would be around #57[/B] ranked (1/2 way mark) So an average graded CB by PFF standard is give or take +- #47 to #67 or C+ to C- grade area. Thats roughly average with some wiggle. 90% of that top PD list is better than the average #47-67. Go look that’s not by chance. Nixon actually graded at #42/114. So he’s slightly better than an average CB in that respect. Then we can look at the outlier who is Emmanuel Forbes, he logged 3 INT which was #9/114 also. Plus he logged a FF so he gave the Rams Offense the ball back 4 times. He tied for #5 in Takeaways (4) by a CB of 114 qualified. He ranked tied #9 in the league across ALL DB’s in takeaways. That includes Safeties and CB’s or over 212 players. That top 95% tile for Forbes in game changing Takeaways. Forbes also recurses a 56% QB pass completion % in 2025. I think we all know a QB with 56.6% throwing his way is putrid. So the 1 outlier (Forbes) is really not nearly as bad as his low PFF grade. It was his missed Tackle % that drug his grade down imo. Now I’m not putting all the weight in PFF but it’s a relatively reliable metric. PFF actually list Penalties, so I’m pretty confident those are already factored into his grade. According to them Nixon is a C+/B- on a C scale. [/QUOTE]
