Um, yes they do. Do you remember Reche Caldwell? In 2006, when he was surrounded by players that, like him, didn't belong in the NFL, he was targeted 102 times for 61 receptions and 760 yards. A year later he was out of the league. Besides 2006, his career highs were 43 targets and 28 catches, and 352 yards. He was not a better receiver in 2006, he was just surrounded by comparably even lesser talents. So it was with Stevie Johnson in Buffalo.
No, they can not get open or drop the ball.
Was Tom Brady throwing to Johnson in Buffalo, or was it somebody just as good?
Nobody has to catch the ball. Nobody has to have 1,000 yards receiving seasons with crappy QBs. If all we needed was a body, why would anyone ever draft or sign WRs. Why would they try them out in camp?
Maybe Ochocinco didn't know that all he had to do was put up his hands, because the ball was in the air, he was somebody, and somebody has to catch the balls.
