Does anyone know how many drops the receivers had today. I know Legette had one and I believe Moore and Hubbard both had one but how many did Cooker have? I believe it was 2? And how many of the drops where on 3rd down?

Depends on what you call a drop.  That ball that Hubbard "dropped" was too high. Yea if he gets fingers on in it should be a catch, but that was an easy throw that allowed the defense to rally.  Even if he had come down with it, he would have been tackled immediately.

Receivers drop passes, it happens...especially rookies. 

They are gonna make mistakes along with others time to time.  Thats all there is too it.

Yeap.  Receivers drop passes, qb's mess up throws, coaches make bad calls, defenders get burned.  I never get annoyed when one or two of these things happen in a game.  In the end, the team that wins is usually the team that makes fewer of those mistakes.

It seems that the story of the day was really turnovers (which are sometimes mistakes, sometimes just great plays)

Not even Bryce's momma thinks that was drop by Chuba. He had to jump with all he had to get his fingernails on it.

I dont know why this is so hard to comprehend...there is no reason to lob a ball that high to receiver out the backfield. He had pressure in his face and really just threw it up while spinning around.  It was just off.

I agree. The problem is I know at least 3 of them where on 3rd downs ending drives. When your coach is not asking you to throw it often, they all count

I guess I'm just trying to point out that while BY may not have lit it up today, I can't help but think he was better than a lot of people are giving him credit for given the drops at critical times.

Sometimes the easiest throw are the hardest to make. I remember cam had a bad habit of throwing 90 mph fastballs to his checkdown receiver.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
