On the threat Michael Bennett poses as a pass rusher:“He has a great motor, he’s a very creative rusher, he’s very active. He’s big enough to match up yet still quick enough to get away from guys and make them miss him. I think he’s just what we’ve been looking for and as we figure it out—it’s really going to take us another, I think, three or four weeks before we have it settled and we know how we’re going to set it up. We have a lot of ideas and things that we had planned to work on but we have to make those come back together when everybody’s in the same room at the same time. So we’ll keep looking forward to that.”

Sherman Puts on Show as Seahawks Rout 49ers - NYTimes.com
Right now, the Seahawks’ Richard Sherman is the best cornerback in football. Sherman, a third-year pro who also talks a good game, normally plays exclusively on the left outside. But Sunday night in a resounding 29-3 home victory against San Francisco, he frequently moved around to shadow Anquan Boldin, who was fresh off a 200-yard debut for the 49ers. Sherman held Boldin to one catch, which was as many as Sherman had himself (he celebrated the interception by dancing with cheerleaders and later patted his former coach at Stanford, Jim Harbaugh, on the behind).

On Scouting Wide Receivers | The Rookie Scouting Portfolio
I believe analytics have value, but the grading of wide receivers based heavily on speed, vertical skill, and production is an ambitious, but misguided idea. Further the application is the torturing of data to fit it into a preconceived idea and making it sound objective and scientific due to the use of quantitative data. Unless the data is getting into some Nate Silver-like probability analysis, analytics is going to arrive at conclusions that are safe based on the past, but lack game-changing predictive value.
