SIAP: PFF Grades for MSU/UM

Scanned the board and didn't see this already posted. They really liked Speight, Darboh, and Peppers, which I think we all saw coming. Beyond that however, their grading shows Hurst and Charlton had monster games.

Charlton was terrible in that game. If he can't beat a single hold/tackle on every single snap what good is he?

But vacated his rush lane too much for my likely allowing the QB to step up and run when neeeded.

I'm not sure if it was Taco specifically, but there certainly were a few times where gap-responsibility seemed to be forgotten and our front 4/7 somewhat over-pursued.
Again, I'd have to re-watch, not saying it was Taco. But there were a few rushing lanes that we ourselves seemed to create.
Also LJ Scott is simply a great back, maybe the most valuable player on their entire team.

Yeah, if that's having a great game, then I'd hate to see a bad one. All I can see when watching the replay is Taco getting pushed around by Price in Sparty's first three offensive series and losing the edge for big chunk plays. I get it that he was being held a ton, but cmon, one can still protect the edge while being held if he stays in his lane.

since Brian Griese was playing. So it's not really a relevant comparison.
Pro Football Focus, which is an unaffiliated service that wouldn't be biased or overly critical graded him as an average QB for the first six games, which isn't that good for a team with champtionship goals. He's been much better the past two games since the bye, even by his admission and it seems the complaining has stopped from anyone reasonable.

But that's not the question.
Would you take anyone else over Speight as is, coaching aside? You can make a case for Barrett, Thorson, maybe the PSU guy - but none of those is a slam-dunk over Wilt.
