The definition of a drop is what I wrote above. You don't like it because some of what you thought were drops were in fact bad throws by Trevor.

Entirely false.

The "definition" and reality are two entirely different things.

Again, you're just showing that you actually haven't watched the games.

Yes, Trevor missed some throws and air mailed some passes (none of which were considered drops) he should have made, but that doesn't change the fact that he made multiple throws that literally bounced off of the chest of his receivers, and/or hit them in both hands.

But I get it, In your eyes and some of the other dumb [BLEEP] around here think Trevor has to be perfect no matter what and nobody else can ever be at fault. It's never anybody's fault but Lawrence's right..

Get a grip.

He is right and unfortunately you are incorrect.

Dropped-pass rate most certainly is a great tool for evaluating the quarterback, not his support.

For example: take a look at the top-10 quarterbacks with the highest dropped-pass rates in 2020 just two years ago:

Carson Wentz (10.7%)
Daniel Jones (9.4%)
Drew Lock (9.0%)
Andy Dalton (8.9%)
Tua Tagovailoa (8.8%)
Jimmy Garoppolo (8.7%)
Ben Roethlisberger (8.7%)
Lamar Jackson (8.3%)
Baker Mayfield (7.9%)
Sam Darnold (7.7%)


I can do a year before that and we can keep going...


So, of the 40 quarterbacks to rank top 10 in dropped-pass rate in a given season over the past four years, only five of them (12.5%) ranked among the league’s top half in passer rating. Only one (Prescott in 2019) ranked in the top 10.

For example look at Josh Allen. His dropped-pass rate has directly correlated with his performance. In both 2018 and 2019, he was not a good quarterback, ranking outside the top-25 in each of net yards per pass attempt, overall PFF grade, and adjusted completion percentage. He had the league’s third-highest dropped-pass rate in both seasons. In 2020, he made the jump to superstar status. Where did he rank in dropped-pass rate? Way down at 30th out of 41, sandwiched between Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees.

I know it sounds stupid, but stand infront of me 4-5 yards and let me throw it as hard as i can and u prolly wont catch it. Now imagine an NFL QB with a much stronger arm than a normal everyday guy doing that, and you're running and you JUST turned your head around.

It's also mean an indictment of his own accuracy.
