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

It’s gotta be killing the #JaylonHaters to see him playing well.

 

[Captain-Crash]

jaylon and playing well in the same sentence. lmao

I rank PFF #99 in informative material.

I will adjust my ranking when this publication releases a detailed description on their ranking formula.

They are actually very open about their scoring system. I see you've taken a real deep dive into their web site.

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

Thanks for posting this stuff. They wanted like $200 to view their player rankings. It was $40 last year. So, I dropped the subscription.

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.

Well the second half was terrible for the whole offense.

 

[atlantacowboy]

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

You have to understand that PFF grades every play and they don't weight them. Each play is scored +1, 0, -1. So, Jaylon might score a -1 on a missed tackle that turned into a 50 yard TD, but the next series he scores a +1 for a run stop on first down. In the PFF scoring system, that run stop essentially nullifies the missed tackle that turned into a TD. A fan or anyone viewing at home will have a far different impression of his play. So, whats the point right? Their system measures effort and consistency as much as anything. If a guy scores 90+ on their scale (Zach Martin is currently doing), they are essentially playing at a HOF level. Anything over 80 is pro bowl level. 70+ is considered a decent game. Anything under 70, usually means they hurt the team more than helped the team to some degree. So, again, a guy can make a came saving INT and get carried off the field, but his PFF score might still be 49. Fans will celebrate the clutch play and idolize him for the play. PFF considers that just one snap among dozens of others.

Don't be fooled. Jaylon is not good.

Agreed. Because he makes a tackle after a 7 yard gain, that he should have made after a 3 yard gain, lets not celebrate the tackle.

thanks for the breakdown. i was just curious of rocs personal viewpoint

Well the second half was terrible for the whole offense.

I wouldn’t call 14 points scored “terrible”. It’s a pretty good half scoring wise.

 

[the_h0wey]

Jackyn sucks

Never heard of her

 

[the_h0wey]

And you’re gonna see it and read it more before the season is over...

unless I don't

 

[the_h0wey]

That was last year. Not sure if you are aware, but its a new season and it seems Jaylon has woken up.

I thought my post was dripping with sarcasm, but I guess you failed to pick up on it

Can I do my swipe yet? Or, should I save it for Sunday?

6th highest payed, 20th best performing. That's what you're hanging your hat on. Jaylon is doing alright, certain improved from last year which is great. But he's still getting cut at the end of the year IMO.
