4 Marques Colston NO 82 80 2 2.44
Not bad for a 252nd pick.

Moss had a broken hand. so I can understand the drops.

Well, if they threw 100 passes to the guy who only caught 43, chances are he'd get there faster than the guy dropping 15 balls. Look, I'm not saying he's (white) horrible, I'm saying dropping 15 passes is horrible and it is.

Re: ProFootballFocus: Best/Worst drop rate for 2011 WRs
all I'm saying is that if he were a better player or open more, he probably would have gotten more targets.

Re: ProFootballFocus: Best/Worst drop rate for 2011 WRs
Was surprised Tana didn't have more drops but then a took a second look at the number of times he was targeted...not all that many...no wonder he's on the "naughty" list. I hope he's not on the roster this season simply because we should have more/better talent than what he can offer at this point in his career.

Re: ProFootballFocus: Best/Worst drop rate for 2011 WRs
Leading the league in drops isn't good any way you spin it. I'm sure Roddy White would be the first to admit that. That said he went through some early season struggles but got things worked out. It happens.

Re: ProFootballFocus: Best/Worst drop rate for 2011 WRs
We had a guy in the 80s/early 90s that dropped his fair share, but he made up for it w/his toughness & ability to make the chain moving catch in the middle of the field, and a lot of big plays downfield - Gary Clark.
Of course Clark played w/a couple great wr's & was always part of a good to great offense. I think big play wr's that drop a lot of passes are analogous to home-run hitters. If you have a good lineup around them, it's worth it to deal w/those occassional drops. If the lineup around them isn't that good, those drops become a much bigger deal cause the team has a harder time making up for it. Adding a HR hitter w/a poor batting avg. to a poor hitting lineup probably doesn't get you much, but if you've already got good hitters, you can deal w/a few strikeouts from your power hitters. The problem w/Moss is that he's no longer a HR hitter. At this point in his career he's got to be close to sure handed. I think he deserves some slack after coming back from a broken hand, hope he can make the team next year. Either way, we need a complete reciever, a guy that's a deep threat & can make the tough catches. Hopefully Hank will be that guy. |

Re: ProFootballFocus: Best/Worst drop rate for 2011 WRs
This seems like as good a thread as any to mention how ready I am to move on from Moss...

Re: ProFootballFocus: Best/Worst drop rate for 2011 WRs
If we can get a playmaker in the draft or free agency, I'd move on from Moss too. We've got Gaffney to fill the possession type of role, and Hankerson to continue to develop.

Maybe Hank changes that quickly or a new FA or draft pick does as well. Still, the past 2 years have shown that Shanny will keep a trusted vet WR on the roster, e.g. Galloway, Stallworth, Anderson. Maybe Gafney is the only one for that spot, but I think Moss still has value for the team if he can get over his drops from last year. I see the point though, Hank, Paul & Gafney are pretty certain to make it, if they only keep 2 others that could put Moss into some tough competition. Armstrong, Anderson & Stallworth aren't likely to be here unless there's training camp injuries. |
