Wouldn't you have to take into account how many times they are targeted? And the fact that Alshon is going up against teams second best corner, while Calvin is being double teamed?

Just seems Alshon should catch a higher percentage under those circumstances.

I don't see how any of that factors into DROPPED PASSES.

PFF has some much different numbers than both you guys... for instance they have Calvin with 199 targets, 14 drops, with only 136 passes of them being catchable.

Aj green isn't listed, but heres what I found FWIW.

https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2013/01/21/signature-stats-drop-rate-wide-receivers/

Dropping the Ball

A good place to start is to look at which guys have dropped the ball the most. In that regard a hearty congratulations to Wes Welker who dropped 15 catchable balls in season 2012.

Ouch.

That’s one more than Calvin Johnson, who himself had one more than Brandon Marshall. That shouldn’t be much of a surprise when you consider those three represent 75% of the Top 4 most targeted receivers in the league (the exception being Reggie Wayne). Obviously it stands to reason that the more opportunity you have to drop a ball, the more balls you will drop.

It’s for that reason that we created our Drop Rate. So take a look at who had the most drops below, and then move on to see some numbers that really matter

edit - had the numbers listed but they come out all bunched up and hard to read

I think he assumed you meant AJ as in Andre Johnson or AJ Green...not AJ as in Alshon Jeffery.

which is why i want evans or watkins. I'll be content with either - but if I had a choice I'd take Watkins.

Frankly, I think when considering the strength of this draft, I'd rather just wait until after the first round if we want to address the position...unless Mike Evans falls to #13.

Not really I agree with what Fisher said they have some players that are going to allow this team to score a bunch of points. The absolute most important thing for the Rams is to protect Bradford, if he is out the rest does not matter.
