So why do so many people seize on 'pressures' as a viable statistic? Pressures are graded in almost an identical manner to anything PFF does. Moreover, many sources that are providing those pressure stats are providing the stat COMPILED by PFF.
We need to stop pretending like 'pressures' means anything. The concept does - legitimate pressure can impact plays obviously. But the statistic doesn't - it's simply not a reliable measure of any sort.
