Dropped Passes - 2013 NFL Season Statistics
Obviously the "drops" statistic is pretty subjective as to which throws were catchable. Regardless of the actual numbers I think we can all agree the drops by all our WRs this year have been ridiculously high.
Now Im sure people will interpret this information differently but for me this gives me a huge amount optimism for this offense going forward. Its easy to argue that the rookie WRs have been steadily improving each week, and I see drops for WRs much like fumbles for RBs: a correctable mistake. Not sure if its big stage jitters, adjusting to Bradys ball velocity, carelessness or whatever but obviously all 3 WRs need to improve in this category. Add in the fact that we will eventually get our two most sure handed pass catchers, Gronk and Amendola, back sometime (right? one of them has to play 3 games in a row at some point RIGHT?). That means there is a very easy and achievable method to greatly improving this offense: stop dropping the damn ball!
