This is part of the reason i cant really trust the PFF grades. How does a QB grade out that well throwing that many interceptions?

 

Are you referring to Manning's performances in the article?  The article is about single-game grades, and Manning didn't throw a single INT in either game.

Manning's stats in this matchup weren't gaudy, but they were very efficient Completing 21-of-28 passes (75.0 percent) for 351 yards and a huge 12.5 yards per attempt. He only tossed one touchdown compared to two interceptions, but he hit on 10 passes of at least 10 yards including a pair of 60-plus-yard throws to Marvin Harrison.

I will preface this by saying, I'm not a fan of PFF either.  I posted this because 4 Colts games were on the list and two of them were surprises.

 

That being said, I'm guessing it's because 2 plays don't wipe out 21 other good plays, especially if some of those good plays were extremely good.

Wonder how many players had "career" days against the Colts defense? Brandon Marshall, Maurice Jones Drew and that Chargers punter come to mind for starters

 

If, as a Colts fan, that is what interests you, then I encourage to research it and start a thread.  I'm sure you can find the info in the article linked in the Colts.com write up.

I stand corrected.  Maybe they weren’t attributed to bad play on his part (batted at the line or knocked in the air by the receiver)?

As expected Manning is on there twice but I would not have guessed either game.  The best game ever by a Colt was not something I would have guessed.

Wow.... # 19 all-time, NFL-wide?

 

I would have never guessed Lilja either, Coffee.

 

Question.... career-wise, the writer gives Lilja some pretty high praise as an "excellent lineman in his own right".

 

I mean, he wasn't THAT good, was he?

 

It just feels very skewed, because even with PFF's metrics in a one-game evaluation where Lilja scores this all-time Top 20 ranking.... it's notable that he was sandwiched between multiple Pro Bowlers LT Tarik Glenn and C Jeff Saturday.

I don't know if I can an honest evaluation because I liked Lilja as a guard, but since he has retired he lives not too far away and he came several times to a youth team I coached and talked to the team (he met the head coach at a business function and since he played in the league I coach in and played for the HS our team was affiliated with he was more than willing to come talk, so, my opinion of him may be skewed.   But yeah, I thought he was a top 15 guard when he played with the Colts.  He was not a devastating run blocker but he was an excellent technician and kept his guy away from the ball carrier.  As a pass blocker though he was top notch.

      Potential/Average/Concern

      By RollerColt · Posted

      Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out.

      What I’m reading on him the Pacers did get good value. Looks like he will need time to develop but he is in the right situation to do that. The pacers are stacking some quality young players that will prove to be more outstanding depth or assets if they choose to make a trade. Very exciting time for the team right now.

      I’m not a religious person, but since you’re an educator I think you’re doing Gods work!   In these crazy insane times we’re all living in you’re doing one of the toughest jobs on earth.  And you’re teaching perhaps the most difficult generation to deal with.     From a distance it feels like you’re being very unfair to you.  I’m hoping in time you’ll see yourself in a completely different light.    Someone highly thought of.  A leader in the community.  A protector of young minds.   I couldn’t admire a teacher more.
