Sound argument.

Wait what? I'm saying PFF grades said Taylor sucks - CP says "but he is athletic". PFF says Pat sucks everybody loses their mind. But PFF says Robinson sucks and we (CP) eat it up like candy.

What Rams fans you been talking to? They hanging out with your Girlfriend in Belize?

Hence why I don't even bring up PFF anymore - people believe their metrics when the narrative fits their agenda.

Cold hard stats - that's it.

That’s not entirely accurate. PFF says Taylor is a bad run blocker but good pass blocker. And also that he’s ascending. CP says it doesn’t care about how bad of a run blocker he is because the guy is being signed for one reason and one reason only: to protect Mahomes.

I wouldn’t lean on any PFF ranking in isolation, but it’s backed up by the eye test, the stats, and the narrative around the guy. So then when you look at PFF and it grades him the same as two JAGs we know very, very well, it provides some context for the level of mediocrity we’re likely dealing with.

And could you imagine paying much of anything for either of those two guys?

That's not what the article I posted said about Taylor being graded overall WORSE than OBJ last year. But I digress...I can't speak to the eye test I didn't see him play last year and I don't hang around any degenerate Rams fans to hear their side of it. BUT I don't disbelieve that his performance the past year/two is on par with Demarcus Robinson/Pringle - my only question is can it be related to overall team performance. Hard to believe such a talent has fallen so far off a cliff. JMHO - at least Josh Gordon had an excuse (out of the league, substance abuse problems)
