Just how bad has Robby Anderson been?

[Peon Awesome]

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.

Both Anderson and Ridley are on my FF team ...joy

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.

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,,,

Brady and Darnold are trying to force the ball to Robby to help him get over his yips.  It is hurting everyone involved. 

I actually miss Zylstra in the passing game. That is ... a bad sign.

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.

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

Hmmm.....I wonder if the Broncos would have a use for him?

At least he got paid

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

I miss Bersin. He couldn't do a lot but his hands were glue.
