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.

C'mon man.  That was a tough catch by any WRs measure.  Yes I read the sentence after that bolded one.

The fact that it's even brought up as a "drop" is ridiculous in my book.

Chase has clearly had some drop issues but some people trying to fabricate things like he's butterfingering it out there is wild.

I remember some of my favorite all-time Bengals wrs dropping passes and tipping up ints.

Chad dropped a few against the Browns.  AJ had a couple of games where he was dropping and tipping passes(which of course were Dalton's fault because no way AJ could make a mistake. lol)  Did we forget about AJ's automatic TD near the goal line in the playoffs?  As a vet not less.
