Just how bad has Robby Anderson been?

I try not to dwell on negatives but came across this really interesting stat and felt compelled to share. It compares how many receiving yards a player actually has compared to how many they'd be expected to have based on expected completion probability and expected yards after the catch, e.g. factors that account for how good/bad the pass was and the defense your facing. Robby Anderson is worst in the NFL, almost twice as many yards left on the table as 2nd worst (Calvin Ridley). 

DJ Moore's yards and expected yards match almost perfectly this year. On the other side, Jamarr Chase is otherworldly, outperforming his expected yardage by roughly 400 yards. You can go to the original twitter page to see more of these diagrams.

right now its hard to find a worse starting WR than Robby, plus the big issue is he has goten plenty of targets especially in the last few weeks. 11 targets 3 recs 14 yards is team killing,,,

Greg Olsen was damn right when he said something to the effect of "I've never liked the 'getting someone involved' mantra. You should never force the ball to someone when they don't have the hot hand".

He said that in something as early as the Dallas game IIRC.

If only he would play as good as he used too with Sam....

I blame Gase for all of this, even though he is playing worse this year. 

Robby had a 53% catch rate his two years in NY with Sam. 
 

Better than this season, but the connection was always poor with a random deep mixed  in that we saw on sportscenter

It's all just crazy. Add in the extension and 5th year option and it's kind of comical.

    • I would take the giants roster over Panthers. Lawrence, 3 OLB/DEs, Thomas, and nabers. Lawrence is better than dbrown and Thomas is better than icky. Panthers don't have one edge that would start over those 3 not matter how people feel about burns. Id believe....I think I would take nabers over the whole WR group....Id need to think about, but I feel it is right or 50/50..... Now after the top 10, Panthers may have claim. Im just not that big of a NFL fan like past time to make a good case. I'd just take giants on their top talent.    I will say this, if BY carries this team to the playoffs, he alone would flip this. 
    • Looks like he ran out of real estate.  He had 5 total TDs. As good as we have ever seen in Carolina? Looks like he is the only QB in our history with 3 passing and 2 rushing TDs and he tied a single game record of 5 TDs in one game with Cam and Beurlein.  Throw in his 73.4% completions and zero turnovers, literally the ONLY thing you could argue against statistically is total yardage which was only 275.  You may not agree with that statement (not 100% sure I do), but it's really not THAT wild...
    • I have for too long lacked giving good posting beers, fire, etc.  Good post, its beyond prove it time and until then 30s is where they belong.
