PFF grades the play, not its result, so the quarterback that throws the ball to defenders will be downgraded whether the defender catches the ball to notch the interception on the stat sheet or not. No amount of broken tackles and yards after the catch from a bubble screen will earn a quarterback a better grade, even though his passing stats may be getting padded.

They grade a players responsibility and impact on every play, not what the stats say.

Kyler Murray received a 93.4, while Tua received a 73.5


Murray's stats

20/27, 74.1 completion %, 364 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT
9 rushes for 114 yards, 1 TD

Tua's stats
25/32, 78.1 completion %, 324 yards, 5 TDs, 0 INTs
4 rushes for 26 yards, 1 TD

Now, I realize that Tua had less passing yards on more attempts, but he also had more TDs, a better completion % and zero INTs, while Kyler had 1.

And I realize that Kyler had a better day rushing, but Tua still had a good ypc, and the same amount of rushing TDs as Kyler.

I can see why Kyler's PFF score is higher, but there is no way that Tua's should be 73.5 while Kyler's is a 93.5.



Having said all of that, I have no fricking clue exactly how PFF does their scores.

Whatever criteria used, something ought to account for being able to throw a ball to the right spot to a receiver that has barely a half step on the defender compared to tossing it to a guy who doesn't have anyone within 15 yards of him.
