PFF may not be perfect, but when you have trained analysts, many of whom are former coaches and players, focusing on only one player and watching every single snap that player takes, and then before a grade is determined, it's reviewed again by a senior analyst, I don't know, call me crazy, I'm going to put more credibility into that than the typically biased opinion of Burnsville Bob watching Red Zone through his bottle of Grain Belt. If it weren't at least somewhat credible, GMs wouldn't use it. All of them do.
They do need to step up their college game though.
Logic and common sense are the bane of my existence.

Hate to burst your bubble but you can have a championship caliber roster and still criticize moves individually. Wasn't that you in the other thread bashing that POS Okudah...who we just signed? Yeah, thought so

Can't speak for JIT, but you can bash Okudah for being a crap corner and legendary bust and still be OK with the team adding him as cheap, experienced depth. This is just not a move that moves any needle in any direction. If we pay him more than $5M per year, I'll be right there with anyone criticizing this move.

All Okudah needs is one good, healthy season to erase a lot of bad memories. He wouldn't be the first, and we're getting him for a steal.
As for the Mason acquisition, when his main RB partner is celebratory in response to the signing, that's the kind of team chemistry that makes me guzzle the purple Kool-Aid by the gallon. JJM and our offense in general are looking as formidable as an season short of '98...and, if the kid lives up to his potential quickly, it might even surpass that insane roster...!
Build on 14-3, take back the NFCN, break the ****ing curse. Simple.

Are you seriously suggesting my criticism of this recent move somehow equates to your nonstop bashing of the architect of a championship roster?

Lmao you've been back on the board for like two weeks, but I've been nonstop bashing the architects moves huh? I've actually been very complimentary. You keep bringing up my "championship caliber roster" comment right, so what does that tell you? So much for logic and common sense being the bane of your existence

Dude, you were bashing Kwesi practically upon him taking the job. You’ve got multiple people stating the same thing.
You want to look like a clown, be my guest.

You've been on hiatus for 2 years and don't know shit. I've supported a lot of his work. I think he's been excellent in free agency despite his drafts still needing a lot of work. Even still, I was hugely supportive of our draft last year and thought he did a good job and stated as much. You three circle jerks love piling on though any time there's a questionable move. Still kinda cute after all these years.

Oh boy. The original 'what? who me?' of the board. Please.
Not sure how much more gently I can disagree with your take, saying its opinion, trying to qualify my point, etc. I believe you also hated the competitive rebuild, the Darnold signing, but why keep receipts right? Let's just move on an enjoy what looks to be some improvement and hopefully another really fun year.

Lol and here we go. I knew you'd come through Sticky...Maroon chiming up in 3, 2, 1...
Why would I hate the Darnold signing? We all assumed it was to be the backup or a stopgap until McCarthy was ready. I was as verbal as anyone on this board about getting off the Kirk Cousins money carousel. But if you want to start throwing around "receipts" let me know. I've got plenty..
