You wanted Orakpo till Mecca came out with his "toilet brush" crap and then you cooled off on him a bit and I never really understood why. That guy knew a lot about players, but his ability to add it all up and make a call on any player was poor at best.
I asked about everyone here (when I first started an account on CP) why they didn't like Orakpo and "he played at Texas" was the common answer. Never made any sense. Guy is a ****ing terror as a pass rusher, owning not only speed moves and GREAT HANDS, but also immense power to bull rush. He also shines in run defense, consistently standing linemen straight up and owning the corner and Ive seen him even lift linemen right off their feet and walk them backwards, even as a rook....extremely impressive player that had every tool you look for in a 3-4 OLB. At least Tyson is turning into what most in the NFL thought he would be when he was drafted, a guy that started to turn it up in his third year and it wasnt a totally wasted pick like some here thought it would be from the start. The fact he is our best DL and Dorsey isnt is very telling. |

Mecca's toilet brush comment came after I stepped off the gas (but still definitely liked) Orakpo. My biggest concerns with him were 1) his late season swoon, and 2) his propensity to get dinged.

I asked you how PFF does their analysis. Your response is to point to message board posts as a way to validate their analysis. You don't see a problem with this line of logic?

You are seeking to prove Raji doesn't suck balls, correct? It would seem there's little evidence he's having a good season.

Tyson Jackson has 2 sacks his whole career.
BJ Raji has 3 sacks this season. The ****ing fail between GoChiefs and BossChief is amazing. |

A nose tackle who can rush the passer, but can't hold up against the run, is pretty useless in the Chiefs' defensive system.

These guys have been doing this for over 1,000 games. The NFL puts stock into their product. They are legit. You rarely question, say, PFF coming down hard on Barry Richardson, so why the sudden skepticism?

I completely stumbled upon Raji's rating by accident. Then I decided to post this thread as drafturbait.

We still don't have evidence that their statistical model (and how do they reach their numbers, BTW?) is indicative of good play. Football is much, much more difficult to quantify than a game like baseball, which is still largely misunderstood by the vast majority of people who watch the game. Yeah, we can see things like missed tackles and TFLs, but how does the model treat someone who stays in his gaps all day and makes every play he should but no spectacular ones as opposed to the LaVar Arringtons of the world. I don't know the answer to that question. It may be eminently fair. But I'm also not going to assume that it is simply because it offers a nice potential solution to a problem.

I'll tell you why I think it's fair.
PFF's ratings for Tyson Jackson by year: 2009: -40.9 overall, -33.4 run defense 2010: -3.4 overall, -1.4 run defense 2011: 6.4 overall, 9.3 run defense That falls in line with the consensus around here that Jackson was awful his first year, showed improvement last year, and is playing pretty well this year. To me, when I see stuff like that (and I could do this with a lot of other players we've watched closely over the years, like Cassel, Hali, DJ, etc), I put a lot of stock into what PFF does. If that's not good enough for you, so be it.
