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.

    • Lord, I remember that time. It was wild in here. The Nolan Nawrocki hit piece comes to mind, and the dudes in here who wanted that to be so true. Something like Cams smile being fake. Weve had some characters in this place as well. I remember Grits, TheRealDeal, Sanjay and his constant posting of that one football play, King Taharqa, PhillyB lol. It’s been a wild ride
    • Oh, duh! Just sign the best players! Haven't thought about that one before!!
    • You can play one through six degrees of separation with all of them if you want.  Okay they have this in common or that in common.  I don’t know how to assign meaning to it without evaluating each one.  For example in Darnold’s case his arm could bail him out sometimes and it could get him in trouble sometimes. Bryce is not going to get bailed out by his arm. He  very obviously, IMO, has trouble seeing the field and his margins with his arm strength are smaller or thinner than a guy like Darnold’s margin would be. By a lot. Or Stafford. Hell he threw a ball almost 80 yards when he was young and can still do 70.   Bryce does not have that.  If he succeeds it is because he is near perfect.   I just don’t consider him as offering me any real advantages.
