Week 5 - Cardinals at 49ers 4;25pm ET

[Dodub]

I thought I read that Elflein was doing very poorly in the league thus far

You probably read that he's been dealing with some injuries.

He was doing just fine today against a damn good Eagles defense (Fletcher Cox in the middle).

He had a grade of 51.6 which is average

Maybe Pozz can shine some light on it, I’m not sure where that ranks him

While struggling with injuries. He's a quality center.

Witherspoon's PFF grade is 42.3, by the way (probably went down today).

Neither one is an all star

What has Richburg done wrong?

Nothing. But the Niners' guards are dog crap. They could've drafted Elflein & signed a guard. Or Richburg could play guard (or Elflein). Instead, they have a lame CB & a poop OL.

You read correctly.

Three different grading scales I use have him in the bottom two, the bottom 3, and the bottom 5 in the league.

However, he missed the first two weeks of the season so it's possible his grade may have improved had he played those weeks. Of course, it's possible he would be even lower had he played.

Now if someone wants to say they like his traits and they'd have liked him in offense X or offense Y, that's fine.

this is what makes this game so frustrating, it should have been a blowout win
