exactly. when you throw few passes in a game....every drop has a big effect and it did. Frankly, backup QB's like Tebow is won't come in a light it up because they've work with the second team. BTW........Was every pass Brunnell by recorded and commented on???
1) Very bottom? No. Bottom 20% Yes. Big difference there. 2) We don't need to infer whose fault it was, but we do need to separate the Orton's from the Tebow's (reference to my previous post)
Start by telling us how many of Tebow's passes Decker and Thomas dropped. You can't deflect by bringing up Brunnell. And I fixed that for you.
You're right. Decker's 20 receptions in the first four games were all thrown by himself or Knowshon, but definitely not Orton. :rofl2:
Hence my repeated omissions of Thomas. See post #14, point 2. Now proceed to correct or retract post #45.
(94-77)/94*100=18.1%. Do you prefer I say bottom 18.1% to bottom 20%? Bottom 20% is a simple fraction (1/5) and thus valid (in addition to being factually correct).
These Broncos receivers are looking terrible. Decker only has 2 TD's in the first quarter of this game.
So Tebow was to blame for drops? Is that the conclusion you're offering? The relevance of drops is to understand if Tebow's completion percentage might have been above 50% but for a few special factors. The point of looking at drops is not to trash the receiver.
Yes, that's what I've been saying all along. The point of you guys bringing up drops is to make another excuse for tebow sucking at qb. As if every qb doesn't have dropped passes.
No, the point was to evaluate whether he had an above-average number of drops, to place in context his low completion percentage. Because it was too low. The above average number of drops is a mathematical fact. So, you think they were Tebow's fault. Got it. That is a common refrain I read last year on the internet, so perhaps there is something to it. But I don't think so.
Excuses, you guys have many of them. Again, off target wobbly passes are more difficult to catch yet still can be considered catchable. Manning puts it on target w/a tight spiral almost every time. Have we heard anything about decker & thomas dropping passes this preseason? I haven't seen any.
Oh you mean that bullet from hanie that hit the finger tips of his outstreched arms as he came out of his break? Catchable, yes. Ideal, hardly.
I think it comes down to the level of acccuracy and touch required to be good at this level. There's much less room for error in the pro's.
It was a drop. Just too funny that it happened right after you suggested that we should conclude they don't drop balls because we haven't see one. And right before our eyes, he dropped a ball.
