What in the hell are you talking about? The article clearly explained how the grading process works. And it is not a site I frequent. I did a quick search. It was right at the top of the page. Your claim was fabricated. I recognize you won't admit to being wrong, but others will see the truth if they take the time to read the article. You laughing emoji won't change that.

From the article:

This is a thing of beauty on many levels.

i dunno why people are hating on Wills.

is he not part of the offensive line that has us leading the league in rushing? or is that another LT that i'm not aware of starting for the browns.

is he not the LT that isn't letting JB getting destroyed from the blind side and allowing him to make really good plays in the passing game? or is that another LT starting for the browns this year that i'm not aware of.

he doesn't need to be the best LT in the league. he just need to continue doing what he's doing, which is helping us lead the league in rushing and making JB look like a legit NFL starting QB.

i get we all love stats and grades, but at some point the eye test still needs to the primary factor. and the eye test says Wills is doing just fine so far.

Wills is inconsistent, but we can win w/him. Our OL has been--and continues to be--and huge strength for this team.

He was the 10th overall pick in his draft. There were other OTs available to compare against...many people (not necessarily me...or you) thought him transitioning from RT to LT wouldn't work out. The criticism may be unfair or even harsh at times...or may be spot on...but it is what it is due to ^.

Throw in the slight hints from Teller last year that JWs work ethic could maybe be amped up and you get some critical takes.

i agree. and yea he's been inconsistent, but posters trying act like dude is Cam Irving or something. Wills is still young with plenty of time to get better and develop consistency.

I think he was battling through minor injuries most of last season and that was the cause of most of the inconsistencies. Someone posted above "He's healthy now" - that's a huge part of his play this year. I still have faith in him developing and improving and being very good.

j/c...

I think we all guessed/recognised you can't flip a car 'several times' without going pretty fast. Even a light weight sports car like MG's Porsche. Honestly - 65 in a 45 isn't as bad as I feared. Bottom line.... hope he gets healthy - hope he participates in some driving school which will probably be mandatory, and move on and be better and safer the other side of this.

65 in a 45 isn't all that bad, except that the roads were wet & slick.
It was poor judgement that turned out extremely well for him; though, I haven't seen any further update on his passenger's status.

They're citing him with failure to control. They know his record of "speed"... but can't accurately predict it in this case. It was probably much faster than 65. You have troopers being lenient because they're happy they weren't prying dead bodies from the car... and probably think there is a good chance Myles has learned his lesson.

Hmm... didn't know we had a witness. Did the witness see Rudolph crossing the road??

The four legged one or the two legged one?

it could've been faster. but when i look at the damage and the environment, him wrecking around 65 isn't surprising.

people gotta remember what that day was up here. it was the day that it rained HARD on and off all day. then you have to take into account that its a Porsche, so he's on summer tires, being either the michelin super cups or the pirelli p zeros. not bragging here, but i had the bmw M6 with pirelli's, and i can tell you for a fact that i wouldn't be caught dead driving the M6 in the kind of weather Myles was driving in, cause the ass end of that car is BEGGING to slide out. so we got that factor, hydroplaning, etc. Lead has/had a corvette Z06, and im sure he can tell you how dangerous the ride could be with summer tires even in DRY conditions.

then of course, after saying all that, its a combination of that plus he's on a backroad trying to show off with his girl in the car, which typically never ends well for anybody, especially mustang drivers.

im just glad everybody seems to be ok, and the one thing we ARENT having to talk about is him being drunk or something like this. good old fashion car wreck.

He may not have swerved in that case.

What happened to the "deer"?

He's "third fiddle"... behind a crappy QB and an over-rated rookie.

have you ever seen both of them together?

Couincidence? I think not.

Willis isn't J Thomas, he looked BAD on that play, but he's rated pretty good by PFF on pass blocking....next subject, PAUL HARVEY the rest of the story.....I supported Miles about the deer and YADDA, YADDA, YADDA....now he's doing 65 in 45 on rainy roads...he's a TEAM LEADER- Browns doing NOTHING against their SUPER STAR isn't good....FINE his butt, heavily ...he bitched about rookie DT not being a professional.....calling the kettle black....he owes the team an apology. Availability counts....this sucks for a so called leader.

Wills PFF Grade on pass blocking actually isn't very good. His overall offensive grade is 56.7. His pass blocking grade is 59.6 which has him ranked 47th of 67 OT's ranked in pass blocking. Just an FYI, Wills run blocking grade is currently 51.3 which is 59th of 67 rated OT's.

Well, according to Steve's poast, Wills is failing no matter if he is getting help or not.

I think intelligent people understand that using only one source is not a good way to measure things unless you are only attempting to convince others of your own particular biased opinion. For example, in this case a person who wants to say that Wills is really good would ignore the PFF score and the tape and point just to the pass blocking won/loss rate. A person who wants to say he sucks would ignore the won/loss pass blocking rate and the tape and only use the PFF score. Both would ignore that it is early in the season.

An unbiased person who only seeks the truth would consider the PFF grade, the Won/Loss pass blocking grade, the tape, and the fact that the data is limited due to it being early in the season.

I think you already know all this....LOL.......but, it's worth noting.

The problem with your breakdown is you automatically assume a poster as being biased if they are critical of a player's documented play. Case in point, I see no one - not a single poster - saying the PFF Grades are early in the season, are limited, or should be ignored for players like Garrett, Chubb, Tiller, Bitonio, Clowney, or Brissett. For those guys, PFF is gospel, and I haven't seen a single post claiming anyone as being biased or to proceed with caution because it's the early season or worst yet - we've played bottom tiered teams to this point.

Instead, now we will use the comment that only an intelligent person would understand that using only one source (the holy grail of sources if your players are rated exceptional) that the person is trying to convince others of your own biased opinion. This couldn't be further from the truth.

In regard to Wills:
Wills has struggled mightily since entering the league after being made to switch from RT to a position - LT - a position that he has never played before in his life. If you look at how he's actually performed at the position, there's major concerns that the trend clearly points out.

As a rookie in 2020, Wills PFF Grade for the season was 62.6 which was ranked 57th of 79 OT's ranked. In 2021, Wills was injured but playing most of the year. On a team that lets fans use the injury excuse for some to explain poor production but not for others, Wills injury would appear to some to have been an issue for his production level where his PFF Grade in 2021 was 66.1 which ranked him 52nd of 83 OT's ranked. In 2022, now healthy by all reports, Wills has started out after 3-weeks far worse than he performed the previous 2-years. After 3-weeks, Wills PFF Grade is 56.7 which currently ranks him 57th of 70 OT's ranked. The trend is showing he's performing worse than the 2 previous years. He's also in his 5th year option decision point where the Browns must decide if Wills is worth over 20M for 2024.

Is this really the type of production we should expect from a top 10 first round pick? Considering the 2022 production of some of the other OT's taken in 2020: Thomas NYG picked 4th has a 2020 PFF Grade of 90.1, Wirfs TBB picked 13th has a PFF Grade of 75.8, Steele DAL was undrafted and has a PFF Grade of 71.0, and Becton NYJ picked 11th (who's had season ending injuries in 2021 and 2022) had a PFF Grade of 74.4 in 2020. Comparatively speaking, Wills looks like a bust when you stack him up with the players he was drafted with and the poor PFF Grades he's producing. This is not being biased, this is looking at the level of production exhibited on the field where to date - he's having his worst year as a Browns OT while playing bottom tiered teams these first 3 games.

So sir, an unbiased person who only seeks the truth would consider what the player has actually produced over 2-years and 3 games rather than living in the world of possible potential that has yet to raise it head to notability. In fact, only a biased person trying to convince others of their own biased opinion would discount the production level of poor performance in 31 starts as being early in the current season and limited when the numbers consistently show a completely different story.

Here is an article that reviews the tape to examine Wills' performance.



Nothing is showing up on my screen. Here is a link to the article. You can watch the videos from here.

They will accentuate the good PFF grades on Browns players and try to undermine the bad ones. You've been around here long enough I thought you knew how that worked by now.

We need to hire the Dolphins medical staff... pronto.

This.
