WR's and dropped passes
 
Reiss sites Graham in his blog: Patriots receivers & dropped passes - Reiss' Pieces - Boston.com

Quote:
Writes Graham:

Dropped passes aren't an official stat, but Elias Sports Bureau tracks them. Elias uses a common-sense analysis of "should the receiver have caught the ball." If there's any doubt among Elias analysts, the player isn't charged with a drop.

Randy Moss led the Patriots with the most drops (7) last season.

Here's a link if anyone's interested for WR drops from last year NFL Leaders: Pass Dropped (Thru Dec. 28, 2008)

Interesting that this site is the only one I know of that lists drops has Moss @6 were Reiss lists 7

Top WRs drops:
Quote:
1 Braylon Edwards Cle 16
2 Dwayne Bowe KC 13
3 Brandon Marshall Den 12
4 Terrell Owens Dal 10
5t Calvin Johnson Det 9
5t Roddy White Atl 9

Excluding turnovers, nothing pisses me off more than dropped passes...

Wes had 111 opportunities-Amazing! And of those 111 he dropped only FIVE. Given the timing of TFB's injury I'd guess 98% of that 111 were thrown by Matt. Wes is such an extraordinary player-heart and soul. Kevin 2 out of 58,again doing it sans TFB.

Nice catch Mo. Very telling stats indeed.

I'm not too fond of missed tackles resulting in the other team scoring a TD, blown coverages resulting in quick TDs, other teams returning kicks for TDs, our going 3-and-out series after series while our D gets winded, shanked punts on our part, long Patriots gains negated by penalties, when we have a third and goal on the one that becomes third and goal on the 16 due to penalites, cheap PI calls that give the other team the ball first and goal on the one, and stuff like that.

And dropped passes.

No, he had 111 Receptions and 5 drops.

No way to tell how many opportunities because Graham only listed passes caught and passes dropped. There could be any number of passes thrown Welker's way that were not caught but were not considered drops.

So the percentage of drops vs opportunities is actually even lower for Welker (and every other receiver).
