PPF stats don't lie? Aaron Rodgers rated below Foles, Bortles by Jamie Wright 2h agoSep 28, 2015; Green Bay, WIGreen Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (12) throws a pass during the fourth quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs at Lambeau Field. Green Bay won 38-28. Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY SportsAaron Rodgers: Cover your eyes …The NFL analytic website called ProFootballFocus (PFF) has been widely renowned as … brilliant. It’s how each player for each position group is graded, week-in and week-out, on their total gameplay.When a statistic is floating around about a positional players’ negative or positive rating for a specific week, it’s stemming from that system.However, it seems that the PFF analytics just … can’t be trusted anymore.The statistics that lieOn Monday Night, Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers offense put on an absolute clinic in a rout of the Kansas City Chiefs at Lambeau Field. Rodgers had a performance for the ages, tossing five touchdowns and (again) zero interceptions, a feat that puts him in the NFL history books.Rodgers and Peyton Manning are the only two QBs to throw for 10-plus touchdowns and zero interceptions through the first three weeks of football. Manning did it in 2013 and Rodgers joined the elite company last night.It wasn’t just that, however.Rodgers became one of the only quarterbacks in the history of the league to throw for 5-plu TD’s on four separate occasions. His streak for touchdowns without an interception at Lambeau Field is now extended to 19 games, well over 400 passing attempts and 48 touchdowns without a pick. His last interception at home?His birthday, December 2, 2012.It’s been a while.When the grades came out today, you wouldn’t have expected to find Rodgers’ name at the bottom of the QB list – with an overall negative grade of -0.8, sitting in the same company as Teddy Bridgewater, Nick Foles, Blake Bortles and Jameis Winston. In fact, of the quarterbacks rated above Rodgers on the list are Andy Dalton, Marcus Mariota, Tyrod Taylor, Derek Carr and a hapless Ryan Mallett.When asked why the two-time league MVP and 5-touchdown (to zero interception) guy was given such an awful grade, the analysts responded by saying that the formula takes into account all plays demonstrated on the football field, even the two that won’t show up on the stat line.Yes, they are referring to a fumble in the 2nd quarter which was negated because of a penalty down the field. They said that Rodgers’ fumble showed “poor pocket management” and counted negatively on his overall performance.The other slight?A near interception thrown in the third quarter, which was dropped and called an incompletion. Rodgers said that he “just didn’t see him (Josh Muaga)” and it was a close call that went the Packers’ way.So – PFF, I pose this followup question to you: TWO plays, neither of which negatively impacted the offense or the game in any way, are what you’re going by here?Rodgers tossed 24 completions against just 9 incompletions, 5 of those went for touchdowns, none wound up in the hands of the opponent. His cadence drew multiple offsides penalties, one resulting in a huge TD catch by James Jones, another a huge completion down the field to set up another TD. He collected a whopping 139-passer rating, far and away the best in the league, week three.But a fumble and an interception that wasn’t – made that great an impact?Well … I guess the Packers should just trade him away now. What’s the use in wasting all that money on a guy that grades out like Blake Bortles against the defending SB champion, Patriots?Go home, ProFootballFocus.You are clearly, drunk.link
