WR drops

[CRA]

Only 4 NFL Quarterbacks Sunday had WRs drop passes on Sunday.  

Allen, Rodgers, Tua, and Lawrence. 

3 of those 4 QBs walked away with wins.

Remember when Ted Gin would drop TD passes and we were all like shucks, laughed and said try it again? 

I couldn't care less about winning at this point, just make it watchable and semi-competent. It's such a low bar to have to clear.

We all just realize that with Bryce the window for error is so small. Every missed opportunity for a big play is massive because there's only gonna be a couple a game.

Panthers WR's weren't credited with a single drop. Only player to get one was Chuba.

it was just clarifying some confusion, there have been about 48 billion posts made by some Bryce apologist that WRs dropped balls and let Bryce Young down (and that's why we sucked). 

So it was just clarifying the WRs had no drops, and the QBs that did see a drop....it didn't ruin their teams day.

Drops are far from the only measure of WR play. Having no drops doesn't make XL a good blocker or route runner.

didn't say it was.  Just addressing the billion posts about drops. 

being wide open over the top doesn't mean much either if your QB can't get the ball out there properly.

Total bullshit stat. Cam Ward’s receivers dropped 8 passes Sunday.

All bryce needs to win games is for every other player on both offense and defense to play perfect,  its really not his fault that every other player on the team is not a probowl player, he is an awesome qb everyone else just needs to play at 200% so everyone can see how great bryce is ahahahahah

By pff but not by the NFL.

NFL does not officially track drops on their sites. They get that data from third-parties like PFF and ESPN.

This is cherry picking in the same way that Bryce apologists are bringing up random pff stats to say he was good.  There were clearly plenty of plays left on the field by receivers.  The XL not getting 2 feet in while catching the ball 5 yards from the sideline should count as a drop imo, and there were a handful of other plays to be had that good wrs make.
