The bottom line is Anzalone was BENCHED for Kwon Alexander because the coaches saw enough. I hope I'm wrong and Anzalone plays lights out. I'm wrong A LOT and I'll be the first one here to say I was wrong. But until he does, I'll be concerned about his lack of playmaking ability in the playoffs. |

Lol Here you go- multiple teams and head coaches talking about using PFF. Also worth noting all 32 pro teams and 80+ College teams use the data for scouting and player insight. Wow, that took all of 30 seconds to find... https://www.pff.com/team-services For the record, I don’t care about Alex and would rather see Baun get a shot. However, so many of you are delusional in thinking Kwon was this amazing player and our D will suck without him.... wake up. |
The Saints are 0-42 when running the ball less than 15 times in a game.

And by the way, scouts use a mountain of data including new technology to try to gain an edge. PFF is probably a part of it, but in no way the definitive source for information. You're also mistaken in calling members here delusional. I haven't read a single post referring to Kwon as "amazing", in fact many have cited his missed tackles and over-aggressive play as potential problems. I haven't read a single post saying "our D will suck without him"... That's Again - when a benched player who had fallen out of favor is forced back into a starting role for the playoffs, people who wonder if he'll be a liability are justified. |

Re: Kwon Alexander Torn Achilles
If delusional means I am completely confident that we have the best team in the NFL and will absolutely win our second Lombardi, yes I plead guilty. If my believing that losing Alexander is not going to have a material effect on our achieving those goals, then color me delusional.

Check this out ... LEARN ABOUT PFF PLAYER GRADES. If Anzalone was near as bad as you imply he wouldn't be on the active roster at all. |
