Re: PFF: Basically Saints Fans are FOS, 'Offensive Line Is Very Good, And Has The Potential To Be Great.'
This has to be a joke. I'm going to keep bashing PFF until the day comes that people finally call that garbage what it is.
The offensive line that is UNIVERSALLY acknowledged by observers everywhere as one of the worst in the league, and even our own coach has expressed his concern. You rank them 3rd BEST in pass protection? For the love of all that is good, can we please stop paying any attention to what these trolls are saying? |

They aren't the only ones. It definitely has not been labeled anywhere close to universally as anywhere close to the worst in the league. I listen to football radio all day long and hear from all kinds of experts all day long and I don't get that impression at all.

But this grade by PFF is based off of last year. And anywhere you looked or listened people were talking about how they were going to get Drew killed. He was constantly on the run. And by the way, I don't think the offense will struggle, per se. It's just not going to be anything like it could be, and used to be UNLESS the line improves. |

Did I say THE worst? No, I said it was AMONG the worst LAST YEAR. This is an article about a grade given to last year's performance by the line. Do I think it's still bad? Yes. I sure do. There is exactly one different starter from last year, and he is a second year player who has struggled. I haven't proclaimed it the worst line this year. I am always watching for improvement. But I reserve the right to have a certain expectation. But that's all beside the point. This was a reaction to a grade given from last year. I have consistently pointed out the fallacies of their grades over the years. So maybe you should back off. Can YOU do that? |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

You can dismiss PFF if you wish, but then you should also dismiss all of that supposed UNIVERSE that says they are one of the worst in the league. Just wait until you have actually seen them in real action.

You have no legitimate argument to defend this line. You have only repeated that we should wait to see them. We have seen them many times. I don't know what magic potion you think they have taken to solve all their issues. |
