#1. Trevor Lawrence - 16.1%

There continues to be national mumblings that T-Law's balls are hard to catch or something? Matt Ryan even came on and was like Trevor throws the ball too hard. 

Watching the Jags games, I don't get that sense. But I don't watch enough of the other NFL games to know how he compares.

There's a throw every week that a receiver drops and the reaction is that he put too much on it. 

There have been times it was an accurate assessment. (mostly his first two seasons) 

But I find most of them ridiculous. I mean - he hit BTJ right in the hands with perfect placement in front of the facemark leading his route etc Sunday and it was dropped.  Yes, it had heat on it, yes fans echoed this old complaint again. 

It was a very catchable ball from a QB under duress. Unless it's a RB, I put most of those on the receivers. 

We've seen three players (Zay, Kirk, Engram) come here from other teams and immediately have career high receiving numbers with Trevor. 

That doesn't sound like "hard to catch" to me.
