He finished 3rd behind Colston and Preston Parker of TB with a catch percentage of 97.3. While that sounds awesome, I don't really know how to take this stat considering it has Legadu with a better catching percentage (95.7) than Smitty (95.2).

Anyway, great to put a number with the visual proof of improvement.

LOL at the Falcons WR's at #8, #11 and #13......Also, while this stat most certainly reflects the WR's ability to haul in passes, you can't discount the fact that the QB can throw varying degrees of catchable passes. This might speak to Cam throwing a very well placed ball when it is catchable. All three of our WR's in the top 6? I like it.

theres deffinately something wrong with this numbers, nothing against lafall, but Nanne doesnt have bette rhands than Smith, Meachem or White

I always thought the main complaint against Naanee was the seeming lack of toughness after the catch and maybe not following through or hustling in his route running. I never really thought he was dropping the passes that were on target.

    • Exactly He's played two seasons and started 28 games. He's well beyond the point of being able to point to 2 or 3 games and being able to say, "THAT is the QB he is and will be in the future" Of course he can get there, but anyone trying to use just those couple of games to rank his place amongst the games QB's today and their full career's worth of playing at that level, is just asinine. Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Burrow, Hurts, Herbert, Daniels, Stafford, Goff, Geno, Purdy, Baker, Love, Dak, Tua, Kyler, Lawrence That's 17 QB's right there that have played better over their careers than Bryce has played at his best.  And I'm not saying they're all studs or guys I'd want to be our QB moving forward, Tua for example I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole, but his body of work is a million times better than Bryce's has been. It's also not including any of the other QB's drafted in 2023/2024 other than Daniels. So again, say you believe in Bryce, say you think he's going to prove he can and should be our QB of the future, that's all fair and totally fine. But nobody can say he's been an above average QB in his career thus far, it's just an asinine notion.
    • I'd think we could get one of those from Dallas for... whatever.
