He was in on 6 pass plays and had the ball thrown to him on three. I don't know that he sees that high a percentage in a real game -- he's not getting half of the passes thrown directed his way nor is he going to catch everything targeted to him. So projecting in that manner is bit foolish

fair enough but my point was the grade itself was high and would have been much higher if play carried out at that level over 4 quarters.

As of this moment- having seen Parnell through the preseason so far:
What is your honest opinion of him?

He has been better than what people are saying. If you watch all of his snaps, and not just the obvious one where he gave up a sack, he looks decent. His run blocking is really good. He doesn't look as good as he did in 2012 when he played 2 games at LT and rotated in 4 games at RT with Free, but he was playing though a knee injury in this past game.

If I have time I'll do a play by play review.

I would look forward to it.

fair grade considering the penalties (4 on OL) which PFF overrates.
only one I'd question is Martin who I didn't see miss a pass block.
truth is the grade mirrors the game.
the majority of the scoring came late with back ups in and they graded higher.
earlier drives often stalled due to penalties and they penalize that heavily.

He got marked down for one missed block on a screen.

PFF stats are valuable, if nothing more than registering every player's snap count. Their grades are dubious on a per game basis, and most certainly useless in a pre-season game where player's snaps are limited. But on a full season basis, the grading seems to be correlated with overall individual performance measures.

Kinda disappointed in RT John Wetzel's overall score of -3,1. I'd been hoping he'd be doing better to challenge Parnell.
Hell's bells, even Aladenoye had an overall rating of .4 and his chances haven't been generally regarded as good. Sigh.
Never have been a big fan of PFF's ratings, though.

Always worthless, but particularly so when you're scoring players playing against dramatically different levels of competition.

Lol, projection of different comparison groups is always a difficult project, unless one is limited more to actual technique and reaction sequences. Accomplishment against a challenge always is a variable for interpretation then. Not pure cross comparisons of an event's statistical relevance.
