PFF Grades - LBs

[INCowboysFan]

I don't pay for access to PFF, but here's a link to the LB grades so far for the season. In the link, the top 3 are shown, then the rest are in some random order. Just click the player's name and you will get their overall grade and rank.

Parsons is #3 overall
Jaylon is #20 overall
LVE is #67 overall
Neal is #66 overall

A couple that I also found interesting:
Myles Jack is #51 overall
Anthony Hitchens is #63 overall

Just DAL:
3: Parsons
20: Jaylon
66: Neal
67: LVE

I find it interesting how people's bias clouds their judgment on how players are performing. PFF isn't perfect by any means, but it's a decent tool and is fairly accurate in my opinion. It's limited data at this point and some of our players rankings are bound to change. For example, Tony Pollard is ranked #1 among RB's at the moment and I have a hard time seeing that hold up all year.

But I read on here that Jaylon sucks and is the worst linebacker in the league...

I don't mind PFF, directionally it seems to backup a number of opinions. But how did Dak not score a better grade missing just 5 passes on Monday?

Don't be fooled. Jaylon is not good.

Conner Williams is currently ranked #9 among Guards. That's another interesting one.

When I saw Jaylon ranked 20th and having one of the highest scores of his career all I could do was laugh at our local scouts who tell us he’s the worst linebacker on the team and league……

I think with a lot of these guys…we are hard on them without knowing what the rest of the league has.

I assumed giving up a fumble for a touchdown and failing to score on that goal line might’ve hurt him but I honestly don’t know if they factored that in to their score. He also had a 39 QBR somehow which is insane. They believed he played better last week than this week lol.

fumble in the end zone?

Agreed. Williams is actually playing well, minus the holds. Lol

You have to understand a lot of these guys…they get checks every month for their mental disabilities…..

Yeah I only see him when he’s committing a penalty. Conner is doing his job for the most part. I honestly can’t complain about a unit that’s missed Martin for a game and Collins for a few.

Man PFF hates White and Queen….I don’t know what the hell they are doing but they graded out terribly last year too. It has to be stuff in coverage. I

Yea, found that odd. I mean I don't watch their games often so I can't "judge" but generally thought those two were way better than bottom of the barrel LBs. Even Roquan Smith at 60 but I won't watch the Bears unless the Cowboys are playing them lol.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

It lines up with what my eyes tell me and exactly what i have been debating some on.

Jaylon and Williams aren't the worst in the league.

Last year i could see why some were down on Jaylon but he has been decent this season, in particular the past 2 games

what do your eyes tell you about jaylon? like what has your impression been of his overall play?

 

[Doomsday101]

While I do not put much stock in PFF I will say they are unbiased when making their grades. Fans here can't say the same thing. People have been down on Jaylon since the contract extension. This past game a lot of the spying on Hurts was coming from Jaylon and result was only 35 rushing yards by Hurts compared to the 62 he put on Atlanta and the 82 he put up San Fran. Like any player when he plays poorly call him out but when he is doing good things as well I don't see the issue in saying so.
