I did not watch every play astutely but I question the consensus of "Branch can still get separation, Stallworth cannot" that has developed here to explain the differing performances. In the plays I saw, neither were consistently getting separation on outside-the-number routes.
I do agree with the consensus that Branch has a much, much better knack for the ball, such that he can routinely haul in back-shoulder bullets that scrape the ribs of the defender. But the defender is still right there with him.
Throwing a 50/50 ball to Stallworth seems to always be a 0% ball.
