Dobson has 9 receptions on 12 targats 75%
Edelman 30 receptions on 42 targets 71%
Amendola 8 receptions on 10 targets 80 %
Gronk 16 receptions on 28 targets 57%
Chandler 6 receptions on 8 targets 75%
So clearly Edelman, Gronk and Dobson need to be benched for Amendola and Chandler.
But even with your logic, yeah you need to take into account the whole performance; a player isn't one game or two, he is his entire body of work. Do you need to expect a RB to have 4 YPC and any player who has anything less than that in a game should be cut immediately, no that would be stupid.
But it got covered up by the PI call, which I'm not sure we would get week in- week out on that same exact play.
All in all, the film snips are not terribly optimistic for Dobson. To meet his potential, he has to hold onto those.
Do you have a replay of Dobson PI? When I saw the replay he looked untouched. I was thinking he was damn luck to get it called.To be fair, Dobson's hands issues stretch back beyond one game, and even cause him problems with balls he does catch. That said, I agree with you that people are being unduly harsh on him. The kid has improved a great deal in all other facets of his game and, despite the lingering dropsies, doesn't deserve the abuse he gets. Honest critiques aren't enough, fans have a bizarre need for a whipping boy.
I suspect that would be called at least 80% of the time. It was pretty blatant.
When the snippets focus on the plays he missed, of course they aren't going to be optimistic!
Thanks for posting those, I agree that the EZ pass should have been caught as well.

No way man, I just watched it again frame by frame. 9:36 in 3rd quarter and they showed 3 replays. He wasn't touched. Complete phantom call.I watched it on Comcast On Demand and he clearly gets mugged. The fact that he was able to fight through contact and still get both mitts on it is great..... if he would have just held on to the damn ball.

I don't know what you see, I don't see it. Do you have all 22?I rewound it several times. The contact isn't as he's going for the ball, it is a few yards beforehand.

You remember wrong.Trying to compare Dobsons 75% catch rate to gronks and Edelman and Amendola is unfair because those guys catch more difficult balls and most of the time they are catching on the run. Dobson usually gets to his spot and catches it but when he has to catch on the run it is not just awkward. He is just inconsistent. He can block but a reciever needs to catch the ball too. At least fight for it.
As for the Dobson pI. If I remember correctly the ball hit in the chest and he was squared up with both hands free.
Apparently Dobson's mom is commenting here.
No. I'm not at home right now, so I can't check, but I'm pretty confident in what I saw.
Dobson is the ultimate tease...just when you think he's finally gonna break out, he reverts back to his old tendencies.
Because of his lack of consistency, he's a frustrating player to watch. And it's hard to root for him, when you feel that other players would perform better in his place.
