It was ruled a catch on the field… he had control and was down in bounds and the ball only popped out during contact after he was out of bounds.  That’s a hard one to over turn.  If they had called it a non catch in the field I think that would have stood as well.  Wasn’t conclusive either way on review so it stands. 

I’ll be honest…I don’t even know the rule anymore. 
 

Like is it over when his butt touches the ground? When a part of him touched out of bounds? At what point is it irrelevant to maintain possession of the ball?

 

I’m fine with whatever, but when you see multiple plays just like this over the years, and it is called inconsistently…then I just don’t know what the hell to think anymore.

They got away from the idea of maintaining through the entire process. If the player has control and is down by contact they want it to be a catch because he play is over at that point.  
 

and yes,  Cotchery caught it.

      Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).

      We clearly need to add a veteran stopgap at safety one way or the other.
