I feel like I've defended Jojo quite a bit this year but to be honest, I just wasn't that high on him to begin with. He came here with a reputation for bad hands and then people complain about the drops. It's weird.
He's a competent #2, a high #3, and without Jules around, he's being covered by a #1 CB. He doesn't always beat good #2s, and he's absolutely going to struggle against #1s.
I'm not disappointed, but this is more or less what I expected from him. Last year was a shocker, the outlier in his career. If you prorate his numbers this season to a full year, it would have been his second-best year as a Panther.
His success last year had largely in part to do with Jules and Gronk getting double-teamed, and he'd feed on the space beneath. Without both, he struggled. Combine that with the slow injury recovery and I just don't know why anyone is really surprised at his season.
