Correct. Grant would be a 5th stringer at Morgantown. LolRemember, Doege is a a better QB Per poutie fans Then Grant
Trevor Lawrence about to become " Broadway Trevor" this spring! Jet's are a dumpster fire but maybe he can lead them back to the Namath days!I like Grant Wells a lot, I think we all do, but graphics like this simply show that PFF grades are a garbage statistic...
Trevor Lawrence – By a mile the best QB in all of college football – 24-32, 404 yards, 5 TDs, 1 INT (pulled after the first drive of the third quarter in a game his team won 73-7) Rating of 226.4
Grant Wells – Our guy, we love him, tons of potential – 19-24, 277 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT, Rating of 177.8
A metric that grades Wells above Trevor Lawrence for last Saturday is a shitty metric.
PFF does much more than simply look at a stat line and assign a grade. They literally look at every play and build a rating.I like Grant Wells a lot, I think we all do, but graphics like this simply show that PFF grades are a garbage statistic...

Now, I'm not saying their ratings should be gospel but I find the process they use to calculate them pretty fascinating. You can read up on it here if you're interested: https://www.pff.com/grades
..or officially change their name to what we've all called them for years " deadskins". If the folks resting in the many graveyards across this great country don't find that moniker objectionable!The Washington Lawrences has a nice ring to it.
I think they should go to a symbol the way that Prince did.The Washington Lawrences has a nice ring to it.
You're one of the best posters on HN and I really respect your opinions, so we will just have to agree to disagree.I get their process, it's simply a failed methodology... Unless they are watching how a guy hands the ball off, there is no way to put a grade on Wells performance that is better than Lawrence's performance. I watched both games, Lawrence was lights out. If he played it out for four quarters against Georgia Tech he would have thrown for 600+ and 6 TDs.
Using an "analyst" who doesn't know the play calls for either team (by their own admission) and trying to decide on and assign a grade for each player based on that players actions every play doesn't work. You don't know what a guy's actions were supposed to be on any given play, you can only assume the QB made the right read, or that player A was supposed to block player B, etc.
They acknowledge that checkdowns that go for big plays don't benefit QBs grades because those are easy throws, and the WR does most of the work, but I would argue that the checkdown is often the correct read and exactly what the QB should do/execute on that given play.
There's no way for the "analyst" to know if the running back hit the right hole, or if a pre-snap defensive line shift should have changed the blocking scheme, etc.
It's junk science... And yes I know analytics are "so hot right now."
There may be weeks that Wells has a better game than Lawrence, but it wasn't this week.
I hope for his sake he doesn't.Trevor Lawrence about to become " Broadway Trevor" this spring! Jet's are a dumpster fire but maybe he can lead them back to the Namath days!
