Dropped passes

LOL. It is always the WR's fault, even though Anderson threw a errant pass. You Andersonites crack me up. Give it up.
Doesn't it seem DA has a TON of dropped balls compared to other QB's? I wonder why that is?

This thread is about the Receivers ... input?

Heck there's enough blame to go around. I just want to put glue on their hands. Supposedly they all spent time catching balls from a machine all week to improve their skills. It certainly didn't show.

It's a little from column "A" and a little from column "B". Anderson needs to get better with his throws but the recievers also need to make plays. Every throw can't be picture perfect.

LOL...input? Sure. Our RECEIVERS suck BECAUSE of DA's passes.

Yeha, let's give DA a pass because he threw one decent pass all day.

This thread is about a guy that can't throw anything but a 100mph fastball. You notice those sidleline outs that were uncatchable? Gonna blame Robiskie for the high out he couldn't drag his feet on?

You notice the dork that can't handle a snap from center? Or underthrow a gift INT into double coverage?

You notice a guy that can't even complete 50% suck level of his passes?

You notice the guy that sees a jailhouse blitz coming and is clueless about how to handle it? (Go watch Flacco compete a pass given the same situation).

SERIOUSLY, YOU GUYS ARE SO USED TO SEEING SHIT QUARTERBACKING, YOU'VE FORGOTTEN WHAT A REAL LIVE GOOD NFL QB LOOKS LIKE.

I couldnt have said it better myself by just adding insult to both columns! hehehehehe

Anderson is the one that needs the most improvement. His throws are off the most. The denial is amazing.

Are you serious? Please tell me you are busting balls.

If the ball hits you IN THE HANDS you have to catch it. Except when you are in pop warner football. Shit even in high school football you know that.

Very dumb comment. We had a ton of drops with Quinn as well.

#1 PROBLEM with the Team.

If the ball hits you in the hands 7 - 15 times a game.

How can you generate a drive???

How can the Defense get a rest?

How can any QB look good??

Simple, easy, right in the hands passes...

7 to 15 per game.

#1 Problem..

The team is getting "slightly" better since the first few games, but you can't see that very well when simple passes keep hitting everyone in the hands.

Kevin Johnson (and maybe KII) is the only WR that we've had since the new Browns that could consisitently catch the ball. These current guys are a joke. Our offense didn't lose this game.

This Thread is about WR's ... sober-up and try again.

From an outsiders point of view, it was a receiver fest of drops. Yes, DA had a pretty off day, but not as bad as the numbers indicate. Your receivers are terrible. That Massaquoi??guy has a lot of upside though, as well as Robiskie, but you need some guys that can catch. You cant blame DA for throwing the ball too hard, that's just stupid. Elway threw a lot harder and his guys caught the ball. DA may not be your answer, but he is the best you have right now. He was a good QB in '07 when you had some decent catching receivers.

GRAVY_insane

If the ball hits you in the hands, you make the catch. Period. I didnt see many balls that were 100% DA's fault today. Call me crazy, I just didn't.

I do agree that Anderson needs to do a better job with ball placement to give his guys a chance to get some YAC. But they'd have to catch the ball first.

VaporTrail

DA only threw one uncatchable ball (I'm only talking about the drops here, the passes he threw out to the sidelines weren't good enough). It was the one to Furrey.

osusev

8 drops in the first game...... i honestly dont even know how many more this game...... I like how suddenly these highly paid PROFESSIONAL athletes cant catch these " hard thown inaccurate balls"...... So DA has to place every ball perfectly and the velocity has to be a specific rate...... sure.........

the ONE drive we scored DA was 4-4 and Momass actually caught almost perfectly thown balls....... suddenly we had offense.........

This is not rocket science as much as the DA bashers want it to be....... its simple if in two games you have over 15 drops you cant offensively compete in the NFL.

Perfect analysis of our situation. You can't catch a ball blazing at you 100 mph. DA's got no touch.

Curious how all the receivers just happen to have the dropsies? Common denominator is the awful QB throwing them uncatchable balls.

Eventually someone has to make a freakin play. Not everything can be a feather pass in perfect stride right on the numbers.

I agree.

These guys are paid to catch the ball. It isn't like making many of those "catches" would make some highlight reel. Players all over the league make those catches every Sunday...they make them on Saturday.

Sooner or later we need players to make plays.

Next Year

The Recievers need to catch the ball, whenever a defender has a chance to intercept one of DA's passes. they intercept it!

This is Bullshit. How can anyone on that team not walk out on to the field and grab MoMass by the face mask and rip him a new asshole?
Do you guys watch other games & high lights? Is it me or does every other team in the league have guys with five fingers on each hand?

I have yet to see 1 defender DROP the ball on DA so this excuse he throws the ball too hard is silly. They showed a video collage of 8 passes dropped vrs Buffalo. The average professional RB, TE or WR can make those catches. In 1 breath we want blame the OC for bad play calling but in the OTHER breath we need to find out WHO we can trust. That can't be easy calling plays right now. Parcells would have cut every receiver that couldn't catch the ball if he watched history repeat itself too many times.

There's times he can add some touch but there's ALSO times our WRs need to come BACK to the ball and close on it when applicable. Guys that aren't SCARED can concentrate and focus. Guys that are scared are in the wrong business. It's up to those at the business end to decide if we waste the next 10 weeks on dropping easy passes or we sign guys like maybe Marvin Harrison or even Matt Jones. It's not like we have much of an alternative. We can also pray Heiden gets healthy enough to play again.

LOL....you do make a point....if a friggen DB can catch it, why can't we???
