From Worst to BEST: Brutal PFF Grades for EVERY Big Ten Signal-Caller in Week 3

42 minutes

In this casual, screen-share deep dive, host JR walks through PFF's Week 3 offensive grades for all Big Ten QBs, starting from rock-bottom (Northwestern's Preston Stone: 11/21, 135 yds, 2 INTs, 3 TWPs, D- from JR) to elite (Indiana's Fernando Mendoza: 19/20, 270 yds, 5 TDs, 94.3 grade, A+). He explains metrics like big-time throws (e.g., Stone's 2 negated by 3 turnover-worthy plays), ADOT, sacks, and pressures, while noting drops and scrambles. Standouts: Purdue's Malik Washington (16/22, 261 yds, 1 TD/INT, 93.1 grade, A-) shreds Towson; Illinois' Ethan Garbers rebounds (A-); Penn State's Drew Allar middles pack (B- concerns). Flops include Michigan's Bryce Underwood (5th-worst, C) and Nebraska's Dylan Raiola (B+, but vs. FCS). JR's grades diverge from PFF for context (e.g., no A+ vs. FCS usually), emphasizing run contributions. Power rankings cap it: McMahon #1, Mendoza #2, Allar 3rd-worst. Fun, transparent process—great for stats nerds. Timestamps: 0:00 Intro & Method; 2:00 Lowest (Stone); 10:30 Middles (Allar, Raiola); 25:45 Top (Washington, Mendoza); 38:00 Power Ranks; 42:00 Outro/Q&A. Hit like for more PFF breakdowns! #BigTenQB #PFFGrades #Week3Football
