James White with only one drop? That's a pretty generous interpretation.

 

[ahmed]

Drop stats are always way too generous. Literally has to be a perfect ball right in your breadbasket without having to stretch at all for it to be a dropped pass.

He had at least one drop a game. there were plays this year where brady hit him perfectly in stride on a screen and he just dropped it to the ground.

 

[Dexter]

Amendola has such amazing hands. For him to drop a pass equals to Wilfork missing a meal. Almost never happens.

Amendola has such amazing hands. For him to drop a pass equals to Wilfork missing a meal. Almost never happens.

Amendola has the highest catch percentage of any WR (79.3%) with over 20 receptions. Ignoring RBs, next comes a TE (Jack Doyle) followed by WR's Eddie Royal, Cole Beasley and Michael Thomas. And then none other than Martellus Bennett.

This can't be right. I remember Lafell dropping 6 in one game.

 

[bormio]

Face it, the Welker pass was not a drop.

The first Jets game if I remember correctly

Let it go.

Let it go.

It was a joke. The official definition of a drop is ludicrous, but there are posters who think if it grazes your hand while you are getting drilled that should count as one. The stat is silly - it is totally subjective.

It's a little bit of both, here. It's clear that there are more drops than are tallied. It's also clear that some people are ridiculous with how they evaluate drops, in both directions.

I think you're right.
