The drop pass is , IMHO, the dumbest stat ever created.
A guy gets his hand on a ball thrown behind him and almost makes an unbeiievable one-handed catch but doesn't quite come up with it, well that counts as a dropped pass.
As wpr stated, it's not how many but when some of these passes are dropped that really matters.
Then there is always the "what happens after" the dropped pass.
I go back to 2010 Superbowl, Jordy Nelson drops a pass over the middle that would have been a 1st down, the very next play is the play he catches the ball over the middle and almost scores.
That 2nd play probably would have never been called if the 1st play was good and The Packers were operating with a 1st down.
James Jones has had a few critical drops in his career.
Last year almost everything thrown at him he came up with.
In the course of a season, players are going to drop some passes, but, especially The Packer receivers since 2007, have evened a lot of the dropped passes out by making some unbelievable catches.
IMHO dumbest stat ever!!!!!
