Now, that is just MY opinion and some share that and others don't.
Last year, several stat trackers had Torrey as only having a handful of drops whereas I had him having a handful of drops in just ONE game.
The receivers for the Ravens do drop a lot of passes. Hell, Torrey dropped one that hit him in the hands in the end zone. Yet, everyone wants to point a nasty finger at Flacco for overthrowing receivers here and there. What about the OPI Boldin committed when Flacco hit him on a perfectly thrown out on 3rd and I think 11 it was. Because of the penalty it was 3rd and 20 something.
Bad routes = a small window for Flacco to throw the ball = dropped passes.
