most air yards lost due to drops..guess where Cam ranks?

[Captain Morgan]

That would be first, at least according to PFF.  And i know Huddle gonna Huddle, but remember: 4-0.  This post is more about how Cam is carrying our offense than our receivers hands.

Not surprised.

Not surprised.

And us as fans shouldn't be .. nor worried about it

I think about every QB on that list but Newton runs a WCO or short-pass based offense.  Could be wrong, but I think we're the only longball team there.

I wonder if they have info on the number of drops and yards per...

I knew you would quickly grab that shot of Norwell. LOL.

I doubt they have the seniority to complain so...

You're wrong about that one. Arizona with Palmer go deep often. Arians likes to chuck it around.

Arians is an Earhart-Perkins guy, so there's a lot of flexibility possible there.

Does Palmer still have the arm to consistently go long, though?

It looks like he tries, if these are correct.

For some reason, when I read this, I can't get the picture of Ted Ginn dropping that sure touchdown against Jacksonville out of my head.

Palmer in 5th place. I'm sure it's that scrub Fitzgerald costing Palmer those extra yards. They need to cut his azz.

so we can snatch him from the Cardinals like we did with Ginn :)

[t96]

Yep and his completion % would be well over 60% if not for drops. And he'd have a 8-1 TD-INT ratio instead of 7-2 if not for Norwood's drop.

That's what you get with a piecemeal WR corps.
