Going back to the old board, this is basically the only place I see this even discussed. Many talk about his drops as if other receivers don't drop balls. I just did some research... went back to 2011 using AJ, Dez Bryants, Calvin Johnson, Julio Jones, and Jordy Nelson. Below are the percentage of dropped passes by year.
2014:
Dez 3.7
Julion 3.1
Jordy 2.7
Calvin 2.3
AJ 1.7
2013:
Calvin 5.1
AJ 3.9
Dez 3.8
Julio 3.3
Jordy 2.4
2012:
Jordy 8.2
Dez 6.5
Julio 6.2
AJ 5.5
Calvin 5.4
2011:
Julio 6.3
Calvin 3.8
AJ 2.6
Jordy 2.1
Dez 1.9
Yes, there might be some discussion over what counted as a drop and how the list was compiled, but they all drop balls... it happens, they are human. Note though, AJ is never at the top of this list.
