Because a virus is something you catch, I'm just glad knowing the receiver room should be very healthy this cold and flu season.

So 2.3 drop/game? That doesn't seem like a lot.

Besides for the definition issue, it's possible that they were only referencing Big 12 games since they compared Big 12 teams. If so, that would be 3.5 a game.

That's probably at least part why it's not an officially tracked stat in college, too subjective to be useful.

It would be something akin to an error in baseball, which is obviously somewhat subjective but absolutely tracked.

In football I think we are simply more interested in the counting stats that are more common and popular.

They have been a few obvious drops that would have been critical tds or first downs.

I agree.

Pass hits WR in the hands and he just drops it without contact - obvious drop

WR lays out to catch a deep pass, hits his hands and but falls incomplete when he hits the turf - not a drop in my book

WR stretches out to catch a high pass, hits his hands and he is lit up by the defender and the pass falls incomplete - is this a drop or a good defensive play?

Your last one probably depends on degree of difficulty, high pass behind receiver that hits his hands, not a drop

Super high pass that hit the fingers not a drop

Outstretched hands, no jump and defender hits the receiver in the mid section, drop.

Kind of like an error in baseball, you know it when you see it.

Apropos of QB accuracy talk, what constitutes a WR vs not, and subjectivity- I would love to see a how Rocco compares in QB pass placement with other QBs and how that accuracy might have changed overtime this season? One of the football reporters suggested a shoulder injury and Campbell has also alluded to how much Becht is physically fighting through.

Unsurprisingly, this data/visual requires $

p.s. data like the above could be analyzed in a quantitative way to remove subjectivity.

I'll correct myself, Dom O would.

But Ikenna and McDounough would start for very few big 12 teams. That's an issue. Our pass rush is a whispering fart.

I agree.

I was thinking about errors in baseball. That is up to the scorer and is a judgement call. There are plenty of times where I've heard announcers disagree on whether or not a play constitutes an error. You could have some basic rules, like if the reciever can get both hands on the ball or it hits his body then its a drop, otherwise its a bad pass.

Might I humbly suggest just the tiniest tweak to the title of this thread?

Like really, just one letter right at the beginning…

Mouser would be insanely green. Honestly he would be an awful hire

But sometimes the joke about the schizophrenic nature of the message board is more important than all that.
