Pro Football Focus is taking some heat after first giving Aaron Rodgers a -2.3 score for his performance against the Chiefs (which has since been changed to a -0.8 because of an "input error") in a game where Rodgers threw for 5 TDs and scored a 138.5 QB rating.
Here is their reasoning:
My question is, should this raise huge doubts about the "model" that PFF uses to grade players or do you still have confidence in their methods, overall, and feel it's still the best objective analysis out there?

Why Aaron Rodgers’ grade was just average versus Chiefs
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers ended last night’s game with a -0.8 grade overall. This isn’t a bad game, just because the number begins with a minus, but it is an average grade very close to zero for a player who threw five touchdown passes, which seems crazy on the face of it. It’s not.
On the surface, Rodgers’ raw statistics paint the picture of one of the best games of the season. 333 passing yards, five touchdown passes, no interceptions, a 138.5 passer rating; Rodgers’ should be supplanting Carson Palmer in our team of the week as the top quarterback, not earning a grade with a minus in front of it, right?
Well, not if you dig a little deeper into Rodgers’ performance on a play-by-play basis.
