According to NBC sports the Jaguars have 4 players in the top 20 in the NFL for drops, with two of those players tied for the league lead at six each. To be clear drop stats are very forgiving, if there's even a defender breathing on a receiver when the ball arrives it's called a pass defensed, not a drop.

Cole is tied with Yeldon at six each and Chark and Moncrief each also have three.

Cole is also in the top twenty for fumbles lost.

I think this really goes back to coaching. Injuries are a problem, but these concentration and discipline problems reach back to last year, too. The continued taunting even as the team is getting its [BLEEP] kicked are emblematic of the problem, too.

How would this team be doing with coaching that took care of these problems last season and didn't let them fester?

So Keenan was heaped praise for making something outta nothing for wide outs...
now they are dropping the ball and its coaching (but I assume this means Doug Marrone, and not the WR coach)

As for the taunting and other things... Outside of a coach handicapping his team and himself further by benching everyone and playing the 3rd and 4th string guys, there isn't much to do about things done in the moment of emotion.

Also....... wasn't Tom supposed to be the guy that came in and changed the culture and prevented things like taunting and fri night clubbin' problems?

Glad Coughlin came back and saved the franchise
No one was really complaining about any of the coach stuff last year... the bravado was accepted because we were winning.... the drops were accepted because someone would catch it right after... 

But yeah the drops are a real problem and they really make it a lot harder on our QB who already isn't great.
