lol Okay. There's no getting through to you. If you can't understand that PFF has ABSOLUTELY ZERO knowledge of play call or responsibility, I don't know what to tell you. At best, at maximum, PFF stats are complementary. At worst, as in here, they're pretty much meaningless. By your rational, someone that had 5 plays a game over a season but graded out well in those plays has a great chance to start and be good. That's just really poor reliance on fallible statistics.
If your only argument is "But, PFF!" you have no argument.
My only argument isn't but PFF though as I've listed several times.
And its such a lazy argument to say "they don't know the play". For O line I can maybe just about accept that. For a linebacker it's evident. You don't have to be a Sean McVay to diagnose what the linebacker should be doing.
Look, if yoyu can't see Collins is a good player who's going to be better than Hicks I can't help you. That's your problem.
I can. We can revisit it in November and see who's right.
