When you break out a position by a single stat you can get some wildly inaccurate stats. I'm certainly surprised that there's 10 "catchable" balls that he dropped. What that stat doesn't speak to is the amount of double teams and coverage rolls Steve gets any given Sunday. Steve Smith's speed and route running ability forces defensive coordinators to change their protections just to try to shut him down. That opens up opportunities elsewhere on the field. To just take the "drops" stat and say that Smitty has fallen off, is a long stretch in my book.

meh....smith sucked last year. wasn't all on the QBs throwing to him. his attitude sucked. he was making poor decisions. he was hurt part of the year. he just wasn't anywhere near his level normal play.

You could tell by watching that he wasn't running the correct routes either. The timing was way off quite a few times.

Any article that doesn't have Roddy White in the top 5 and has Braylon Edwards in the top 10 has no credibility. I would like to see what he categorizes as a drop. Roddy White dropped his first pass of the year in week 15 or 16.

There is no arguing that Steve Smith dropped a lot of passes last year. There is also no arguing that Steve Smith has great hands - last year was an outlier.

so the stats were lying? :lol:

it was a look at drops...thats all. a look at what receivers were able to make the most catches when the ball got to their hands. it isn't a gauge of who puts out the best fantasy numbers or TDs or yardage or targets...just who had the highest and lowest percentage of drops.

everything that profootball focus does is credible. you may not agree with conclusions or like the results, but they are the most accurate place to get stats and numbers there is.

      So.... you're admitting he's never going to be the type of QB who can drag his team to victories on a consistent basis? Because in today's NFL, the teams that are constant contenders have QB's who can put up those kind of games will their team to wins when needed. If Bryce was anything near as amazing last year as the Bryce defenders try to insinuate he was, we'd either have won more games or his stats would have been better, if not both. Yes, he showed significant improvement over the last 2 months of the season.  Yes, he had a few clutch  moments/throws/drives in that span too. BUT... It's also very much a true statement that on the whole, he was still AT BEST an average QB during that time period.   And for a QB who was touted as being a PG who can get wins without elite talent around him because of how he sees the game, that's just not good enough, sorry. And none of that is to say he can't do that this year, especially after we gave him a weapon like T-Mac and hopefully an improved XL and Coker.  But stop trying to say he was this amazing QB to end the year who has proven he can (and should) be considered a long term solution as a franchise QB, as it's just not true.

      In what way is that remotely the same thing as I'm saying here? First things first, comparing QB's to any other position is just asinine to begin with.   Second, you're trying to imply the exact opposite of what I'm saying here, so it just doesn't make sense. I'm saying if you remove the players that teams haven't committed to as their long term QB solutions yet, Bryce is the last player ranked in this set of rankings, that's all.  But sure, go ahead and try to make some weird convoluted equivalent for my love of T-Mac (who btw, you'd probably only need to take away 12-15 WRs for me to rank T-Mac #1 in a dynasty format, just sayin, lol)
