Whadda stat or call when your QB almost throws an interception and a WR catches it off the DBs hands for a nice gain?

Just like Chase bobbling the catch that turned into an interception the previous game.

Some things that happen out there are hardly even factored into the actual stats.

He leads the league in total drops and has one of the worst drop rates in the league among WRs. He has also shown that he is a flat out stud, is poised to break records as a rookie and is a major reason for the offenses explosive start early in the season.

What are you disagreeing with that I’m saying? You’re coming across oddly defensive about this.

(12-14-2021, 12:30 AM)KillerGoose Wrote: It’s a ratio issue. He has nine drops, not seven. With 98 targets, that is roughly a 9% drop rate. Out of those nine drops, three of them are touchdowns (that I can remember). If the sample size of an NFL season was bigger, it would be less of an issue but a single missed play can have a huge impact. I’m also skeptical of the numbers that PFR is putting out - I think he has more. They have him down for nine drops this season, but zero against San Francisco. I have him with two drops against San Francisco, the dropped third down pass early and the dropped touchdown. Even if you want to call the TD an iffy call, he cleanly dropped one early.

Now, he isn’t quite as bad as many think - he has the 4th worst drop rate among WRs in the NFL. He is also offsetting those drops with his production, kind of like Burrow and his INTs. Has Burrow thrown a lot of INTs this year? Yes, but he has been offsetting those TDs with high production, so it’s a net positive. The frustration stems from the missed opportunities. Chase would likely have over 1150 yards and 13 TDs if he was mor sure handed, and the Bengals would potentially have one or two more victories.

(12-15-2021, 10:37 PM)KillerGoose Wrote: It appears that it was counted as a drop. PFR updated their numbers and credited him with two drops for San Francisco. I’m of the opinion it was a drop. Was it a bad drop? No, that was a tough catch. He dropped it, though.

(12-13-2021, 10:27 PM)Sled21 Wrote: With yesterday's numbers, Chase becomes the fifth player in the Super Bowl era to have 1,000+ yards and 10+ touchdowns. He joins Odell Beckham Jr. (New York Giants), Mike Evans (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Randy Moss (Minnesota Vikings), and John Jefferson (San Diego Chargers) on the list. Over 1000 yds, with 4 games to go. Higgins is at 812 and should break 1000 as well if he remains healthy.

It's not all exclusively about Chase what I'm talking about either.

Burrow has thrown some crap throws and what was the defensive situation in the drop?

Yes the drop numbers are high for him.

There is more to it though.  Not so cut & dry as someone who just focuses on drop #s(no, not just pointed at you specifically)

You don't throw stats out as useless numbers but they also can be flawed.

That is all.  Not personal to you. 

I'm just stating that what should be a positive thread about Chase's success quickly shifts to his drops.

There's a difference in "complaining about a player" and bringing up an issue we'd like to see cleaned up.

FWIW, I hope it's not just "on this board" I hope the coaching staff are talking to Chase about the drops and Joe about the INTs; instead of just ignoring them because they're otherwise "awesome".

Honestly, I still have no idea to this day how he didn't get an extended look in the league: yeah, I know he was a subpar blocker, but he had 228 offensive snaps in the NFL and in those snaps, he had 18 catches, 177 yards and 2 TDs.

From weeks 1-5 this year, Ceej had EXACTLY 228 snaps and these were his numbers: 11 catches, 150 yards, 2 TDs.

Still think he should've had an extended look and HK showed that he wasn't an unwilling or lazy guy.
