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.
