Yeah, but to some, anything less than the GOAT first ballot HOFer that has a zero percent drop rate and owns every record in the book by the end if their rookie contract means that...
They are just a guy.
Joking aside, stud to the network for showing the PFF stats for each player now. Nice. Amazing how Bac, Lang and Bulaga all are ranked #1. Stud, stud, stud.
#1 in
pass blocking is what they showed for those 3 players.
The overall grades displayed at the start of the Packers first possession were Bakhtiari #2, Taylor #26, Linsley #6, Lang #5, Bulaga #7, so the run grades can't be all that good with the exception of Bakhtiari.
Among defensive "starters" displayed during the Lions second possession, the highest ranked were Daniels and Burnett, both at #9. However, they showed Peppers as the starter at OLB, not Perry, so I couldn't quote Perry's grade. I would guess it's pretty decent, though probably sliding some with the club.
I can't argue with these grades except maybe the presumed high run grade for Bakhtiari.
Now, I don't know who decided who the defensive "starters" are, but if it was Collinsworth this would be precisely the kind of thing about him that so regularly annoys me.
