The Dropsies

[Brandon494]

Who TF voted for Nelson? Its clearly Jennings WHEN hes healthy.

I'd rank them as so:

6. Finley
Infuriating in every way. Finley is the only guy on the team with the baby soft hands to rival those of Jones but is too much of a headcase to make any use of his talent. He has Steve Blass syndrome for receivers.

Actually a reasonable possibility : http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/6461

how the hell do you come up with just 4 drops for finley?

he's had multiple games with multiple drops. hell he had 3 in that one game

he's closer to 10 not 4

Receivers don't get charged a drop when a defender jars the ball out with a big hit or a punch-out. Nor do they get a drop on their record if the ball is tipped before it comes into their hands.

Finley has had multiple times where the catch is not completed only because he bobbled the initial catch. Sure a defender eventually hit him, but if he doesn't bobble the initial catch it is a completion. Is that a drop? In my book, yes.

Didn't know where else to post this but I like #25 signalling Touchdown! for the Pack. I thought that was quite courteous of him.

No, no, he's gesturing to heaven and saying "Jesus help me!"

I've seen that a few times too. It often looks to me like he catches it and double clutches at a ball that would have been secure without the re-grasp. I really think he's freaking out and double clutching at balls he's not even bobbling.

I'd rank them as so:
1. Jones
Has the most naturally soft hands on the team, has a bit of a rep for fumbles and drops but that's just because of very few incidents that took place in big moments. He's over it and is back to glue-handed James Jones.
2. Cobb
He's droppier than I thought he'd be but still still very reliable. Very natural pass catcher but isn't a huge target.
3. Jennings
Probably last on the team in terms of god-given naturally soft hands but has proven to make up for it with exceptional concentration, putting himself in good position, and tracking the ball over his shoulder.
4. Driver
At one point in time Donald would be probably 1st or 2nd on this list. Drops used to be rare with him and announcers still love to say that when it happens but its been noticeable the last year or so.
5. Nelson
Nelson is pretty frustrating because you know he can do better. He doesn't have the strong natural hands of some of our other receivers but can at least be average. Drops are getting to be routine with him now, he is prone to lapses in concentration. Most of his drops seem like short routes.

I'm not too sure what you mean by that. When I met him and shook his hand, it was like grabbing a hold of a normal person's leg; freakin' meat-hooks I tell ya. I could feel the strength in them, although he didn't give me a full on kung-fu grip.
And I'm not exactly small at 6' - 193, FWIW.

Maybe the other receivers hands are just that much stronger?
