This stat line here is going to make EVERY Green Bay Packers fan disregard EVERYTHING ProFootballFocus.com ever grades, ever again!

I'm going to list off the top five graded 3 - 4 outside linebackers for the 2014 post season snaps ONLY.

[list=1]

Erik Walden (118 snaps) +6.3

James Harrison (52 snaps) +5.5

Julius Peppers (35 snaps) +4.0

Terrell Suggs (108 snaps) +3.6

Pernell McPhee (76 snaps) +2.4[/list]

Here's a write up about "The ultimate outsider—an Englishman who never played the game—abandoned a profitable business to run an NFL advanced stats website. In just a few years he’s gone from 80 page views a week to overseeing an international staff of 80 that’s helping to transform the league"

A little snippet some might find interesting.

“What really impressed me is the fact that 13 NFL teams have contracted with Pro Football Focus for their data,” Collinsworth told The MMQB last August, after becoming a business partner. “I have been around the NFL for over 30 years, I know how hard it is to get behind the wall of those teams. And they’ve got 13 teams to trust their data. That’s huge.”

They've updated their site and provided pictures to help people understand their method.

Erik Walden... Erik freaking Walden...

...and that is all the people need to know...

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

The only thing that is 100% in the NFL is the team with more points, wins. Aside from that, everything has an "exception" to every "rule".

Majority wins out. And when NFL teams are trusting the values, we are going to side with that majority over one person griping over one player. 🤬

I've already said my piece months ago on how I feel about PFF.

My thoughts on PFF are well documented. I would have more respect for the site if YOU ran it. That's no joke. Some nerdlinger who doesn't know football runs an analytic site that some teams in the NFL use. Some don't use it.

You like it... I don't have a whole lot of respect for it.

Our org does it's own grading but perhaps uses this as a supplement? I don't know. I would hope we don't use this. I would hope we have real football people grading real nfl players involved in real nfl plays and that is our sole method for grading our team.

Again, I don't have much respect for the site.

beast (1h) : Seems like he was just pissed because he was no longer the starter

beast (1h) : Campbell is right, he's rich and he doesn't have to explain sh!t... but that attitude gives teams reasons to never sign him again.

dfosterf (22-Feb) : I have some doubt about all that

dfosterf (22-Feb) : I read De'Vondre Campbell's tweet this morning (via the New York Post) Florio says that if he invested his earnings wisely, he will be good

beast (20-Feb) : I haven't followed, but I believe he's good when healthy, just hasn't been able to stay healthy.

dfosterf (20-Feb) : Hasn"t Bosa missed more games than he has played in the last 3 years?

Mucky Tundra (19-Feb) : He hasn't been too bad when healthy but I don't feel like I ever heard much about when he is

Zero2Cool (19-Feb) : Felt like he was more interested in his body, than football. He flashed more than I expected

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : If the exploit is not fixed, we'll see tons of "50 top free agents, 50 perfect NFL team fits: We picked where each should sign in March" lo

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Issue should be solved, database cleaned and held strong working / meeting. Boom!

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : It should be halted now.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : usually spambots are trying to get traffic to shady websites filled with spyware; the two links being spammed were to the Packers website

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : you know when you put it that way combined with the links it was spamming (to the official Packers website)

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Yep. You can do that with holding down ENTER on a command in Console of browser

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : even with the rapid fire posts?

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : I'm not certain it's a bot.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : I've got to go to work soon which is a pity because I'm enthralled by this battle between the bot and Zero

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Yeah, I see what that did. Kind of funny.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : now it's a link to Wes Hodkiezwicz mailbag

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : Now they're back with another topic

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : oh lol

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : 118 Topics with Message.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : what's 118 (besides a number)?

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : They got 118 slapped in there.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : that's why it confused the hell out of me

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Yeah, but this is taking a headline and slapping it into the Packers Talk

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : Wasnt there a time guests could post in the help forum?

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : lol good question, kind of impressed!

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : So how is a guest posting?

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : Tell them its an emergency

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Working. Meetings.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : Lots of fun; the spam goes back 4 or 5 pages by this point

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : I thought you'd look for yourself and put 2 and 2 together lol. I overestimated ya ;)

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : I thought Guests couldnt post?

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : And gosh that's gonna be fun to clean up! hahaa

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Oh. Why not just say that then? Geez.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : check the main forum, seems a spam bot is running amok

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : What?

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : Is the Packers online game "Packers Predict" now available for 2024? I can't tell

Zero2Cool (17-Feb) : Bengals planning to Franchise Tag Tamaurice Higgins
