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.

Exactly. Tua didn't have any throws that could've been intercepted that should've brought his score down. Not to mention he threw some absolute dimes out there. How do those not give a high score? Of course this isn't that important but I thought it was a little strange in that pff has graded him lowly in some of his best games, while giving really high grades in some of his normal games.

What I don't understand about PFF's love affair with Murray is why they seemingly ignore the fact that he's throwing to comically wide open receivers 15+ times nearly every week. I understand the idea of knocking QBs for incompletions that should have been interceptions and not giving them credit for screen/pop passes that turn into 60 yard TDs, but completing a 40 yard pass to a guy who doesn't have a defender within 10 yards of him really shouldn't be viewed much differently. Any semi-competent college QB should be able to make that throw with relative ease.

Same here, man.

They graded Ruggs

Henry Ruggs III, WR – 70.2 overall grade


He had 5 receptions, 62 yards totals, 12.4 yards/catch, and 2 TDs.

Plus, he had 2 key monster blocks waaaaay down field to help Jacobs and D Smith into the endzone.

PFF = rand(75)+25.9

Murray also had a fumble turnover in his game. Two turnovers, and almost all of his passing yards was seven yard drag route passes that went for TD's because WV defense is so bad it will melt your eyeballs out. Only defense I've seen worse than theirs was Oklahomas D.
