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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
