profootballfocus is stupid. And according to it Roman is the teams best safety by a mile. There are about a million other problems with the list that it creates at each position.
theyre purely stats. they dont take into account some things are more important than others. like VD having 12 TD's to match his 12 drops, or his 11 penalties.
but unfortunately, stats dont lie, and the stats say VD's run blocking is awful, and his pass blocking is average at best for his position.
It's not purely stats. They watch every play of every game. I'll trust them over some biased poster on Ninertalk.
And btw, if Roman was a starter, his effectiveness would go down. Considering that he doesn't have the same responsibilities that a starter would.
the point is they can poke holes in VD all day because of poor blocking, drops, and penalties, but in the end, hes a 1000 yd TE with 12 TD's, which is definitely better than 53rd overall among TE's.
what it means is, VD shouldve had an even bigger season than his current numbers, but his poor fundamentals stunted it. when you drop 12 balls, thats good for at least 100 yds and maybe a TD or 2 off your totals.
with stats, you have to know when to consider them, and when they might not make much sense to apply.
Not saying that either of these are the case or that we wouldn't franchise him, just that it's more complicated than us merely wanting him an offering him a fair or even good contract.
