If you do the math, the difference between the worst and best drop percentages amount to abut 2 per game if you use an average of 35 attempts. If you look at the top 20 it's about 1.4 per game. We aren't talking about huge numbers. The real issue is when the drops occur. A drop in the end zone is way worse than one one the 40 yard line. If the receiver drops a pass when he's wide open with a clear path to the end zone it's far worse than a 5 or 10 yard throw that was going to be a short gain.
i'd say the down on which the drop occurs is even more important than the location on the field. a 3rd down drop is drive killer or the difference between a FG and a TD.
That too.
Could the drops also be related to the fact that we have the 4th worst on target percentage per pro football reference? We're only behind Chicago, Carolina, and Dallas.
And does anyone know what bad % means?
