I think the criticism of him being horrible is unsubstantiated at this point of the season. However you feel about him outside of the white lines is different and should be separated, in my opinion.

To be honest I don't think he played that bad on Saturday. I don't think he was great either, but horrible?

Like Chris Black said, even the greatest drop passes. Hell, 6 or so of his targets were not even catchable because of bad ball placement.

He's not horrible. He's also not a guy that needs to get 23 targets in one game.

He's something in between.

I hate the saying "if you can get a finger on the ball you should catch it." A few of those balls were hard to catch. But 2 of them were the softest, easiest throws he will get all season to catch. It's hard to get offensive momentum with routine dropped balls. Those have to stop.



Interesting quote from J'mon regarding Black. I like that he sees himself as a big time player, but he needs to make big time plays to go with it.

Yes. Has not progressed in 3 seasons here. Still has all the physical tools with no talent. Gets no separation. Bricks for hands. If you don't progress in 3 seasons, you deserve to be ridiculed to the fullest extent.

Notice how I didn't beat up on Crockett for his costly fumble. That is a freshman error. He should learn from it and not let it happen again..especially not in 2 years time.

Not like moore, that's been his M.O. on the field the entire time he has been here, drops entirely routine stuff consistently.

Receivers can have lots of different skills and still be successful, some are fast, some are big and strong, some are elusive and sit down at the right spot. Being unable to catch half of the balls thrown at you is not a trait that anyone looks for though.

Truthfully don't think I've ever seen a W.R. like him at these levels that drops as much routine stuff.

So call it 17 targets where he had catchable balls. How many did he actually catch? I'm gonna bet that's still a pretty horrendous ratio

He is terrible and has been for 3 years. He can only catch when there is no pressure to do so. he is the opposite of a gamer.

You cannot have a player like this as your #1 WR.

Alligator arms and hands of stone is not a winning combination.

I'm sure he catches everything in practice though...
