See, this is the danger of throwing out a statement like that, without really knowing the facts or giving any concrete examples whatsoever…. somebody else may actually do some research and call you out.
Oh come on, you're ruining all of the fun2.5% drop rate with Cam shot-putting the ball all over the place and 1.6% last year with Mac. Meyers has his weaknesses but let’s not start fabricating them.
Haha
Seriously.. this is next level analysis and rebuttal.. are you working for the pats?? Extremely impressed... Posts like yours makes this forum much more read worthy than the garbage spouted in major media ...See, this is the danger of throwing out a statement like that, without really knowing the facts or giving any concrete examples whatsoever…. somebody else may actually do some research and call you out.
This data is a bit old but is still relevant. Witten had the lowest drop rate in the league from 2015-2017 at 2.33%.

Now let’s look at Meyers drop rate over the past two years.

The amount of drops is not what the poster is implying. The question is, what drops is the poster referring to that was "memorable" or had an effect on the game?See, this is the danger of throwing out a statement like that, without really knowing the facts or giving any concrete examples whatsoever…. somebody else may actually do some research and call you out.

While leading the team in catch rate.
Personally, I have no prominent memories of Meyers dropping the ball in crucial situations (not that it hasn't necessarily happened). I've seen the flip side of this argument posted recently as well, which is a claim that Meyers' receptions/yards were "empty" because the TD rate is so low. So according to some people, his mistakes are in big moments whereas during the rest of the game when he puts up numbers, it's of no consequence.
The only notable drop is the one where he lost it in the lights with no one within 10 yds of him against the Texans, but it didn't affect the outcome. I would've created a gif, but it looks like the Youtube TV video expired literally 2 days ago. He also had some drops counted against him over his career that shouldn't have been at all (basically uncatchable). Chase had 11 drops and Deebo had 10 (both around mid 8.5% drop rate). People harp on Agholor for his one drop (but that was quite critical) last year. It is what it is.
And if we're really going more Mcvay on offense (stretch, PA, 11P) Meyers will probably assume that Kupp role that resembles a TE in condensed spilts.
There isn’t a new offense. Everything they are running has always been part of the offense. They are exploring whether they want to run some concepts more than they have in the past.
We can only F'n hope.
I think the 40 is almost old news. It was a good piece of info but with live game speed measures taking over its become less important. And yea 10 yards > 40. Everyone is fast but can you make someone miss and accelerate. That's so much a part of today's game.
I'm actually getting tired of pointing out that Meyers is mediocre. I get he's a hero for many of you. He's a good WR3 but got too many targets last year for too little impactful production. But this will be my last post dissing Meyers.
Tyquan's 10 yard split in the 40 was 1.41s, which may be the fastest ever measured. So fast that I think it might be a measurement error. But he can certainly accelerate at an elite level.
