Makes me start to trust PFF even less. Hiw do we not have any higher ranked players when we are 3-1 and lead the league in most team defensive categories?

Hard to argue with the Dareus rating though. He has been a beast this year in run D and getting penetration up the middle in the pass.

Maybe its hard to argue that he is the highest rated player on our defense... but its very easy to argue that the best rated player on the best defense in the league should be rated better.
Curious to see how and where PFF grades Calais Campbell. Dareus has been good and disruptive at times but it's big ol' #93 that I see out there more than anybody. Campbell has routinely made a TFL or two in each game, consistently disrupts the QB or sacks the QB or has just outright taken over drives of his own.
But I still agree with a few folks in this thread. Our defense statistically has allowed the fewest points per game this season. And honestly our offense at times has pretty much turned the football over and put our defense in a bad spot where they've either managed to get the ball back or at least limit the opponents to a field goal.
I know we've missed a few turnover opportunities for sure. Ramsey and Bouye dropped two against the Jets. And then Gipson had one take back thanks to a fair and obvious defensive holding call on Bouye. If they really want to silence any doubt. They pistol whip the Chiefs this Sunday on defense.
Pretty sure PFF once said Blake Bortles was a better QB than Rodgers.
So grain of salt and what not...
PFF = Pretty Freakin Farfetched.....
Dareus has been a beast and Blake has had two really good outings. I don't disagree with those ratings. Some of the others... well, not so much. I take PFF ratings with several thousand grains of salt.
