[realtime]

Manti Te'o needs to get a few more imaginary tackles next season to boost his numbers.

Manti Te'o needs to get a few more imaginary tackles next season to boost his numbers.

A lot of guys do not like PFF but I thought Lafell was awful last season like the numbers say.

 

[mikejd]

Someone should tell Andrew Luck's bank account that he was the second worst QB last year.

I'm surprised Haden graded out as the 2nd worst CB. I thought he was supposed to be very good.

 

[Kontradiction]

Manti Te'o needs to get a few more imaginary tackles next season to boost his numbers.

Absolutely brutal.

Buffalo had no names on the list.

San Diego leads the list with 7 with Cleveland right behind at 6. No team had 5 and there's a few that have 4.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Not sure if Waddle is entirely fair ... he seemed serviceable in the limited time he was here.

ROTFL on Andrew Luck.

Chris Johnson and Demarco Murray well there's some money well spent.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Luck. Lol. . . .

 

[jah]

PFF would be on this list if it was about football websites.

That being said, lol @ Luck. Also, Haden and Flowers on the list is interesting but again it's PFF, so nothing more than a conversation starter.

 

[RobertWeathers]

A lot of guys do not like PFF but I thought Lafell was awful last season like the numbers say.

Yep. I think there were some legit reasons for his poor play but excuses aside he was brutal.

 

[Tony2046]

So there are 5 players who played worse than Cannon? Did they play in strait-jackets?

 

[Tony2046]

Yep. I think there were some legit reasons for his poor play but excuses aside he was brutal.

9 drops in one game. Felt bad for the guy. Glad he had a good year and earned a ring.

 

[Gronkowski123]

waddle's horrible

 

[RobertWeathers]

waddle's horrible

Based on what?

His play vs NYJ was not horrible.

Too harsh.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Too harsh.

I would easily play Waddle as a sub OT rather than Cannon ...
I think he's a serviceable backup.

 

[Koma]

Regarding Waddle, I agree with the sentiments that he didn't look terrible against the Jets. However, that was his only game action for NE. He got hurt in the 4th quarter, didn't return to the game and didn't play again that season.

He did appear in 8 games for Detroit. I have no idea how he looked for them, so maybe he played poorly there and that's the reason for his grade.

 

[goheels22002]

Manti Te'o needs to get a few more imaginary tackles next season to boost his numbers.

Watch for Manti Te'o to have a huge game against imaginary quarterback Johnny Manziel week 16 at Cleveland. My guess is that their imaginary girlfriends will be so proud of them.

 

[RayClay]

That's why PFF is worthless. At least half of that could be "players who played through injuries, players who got cut and picked up during the season."

Totally worthless statistics with no application in the actual game.

You can say that about any stats site, for any sport. But I agree, to spit out names and final numbers without spitting out the usual accompanying contextual data like games started, game logs, days on IR... not as useful. Especially with these "bottom of the bunch" type lists. Even then, the reader needs to read between the lines before drawing any conclusions.

Seems like a nice guy and a good teammate, but it was astounding how awful he was particularly in contrast to the prior year.
