Re: Ravens have the best dropped passes rate in the league
It's not entirely clear, but I trust the guys at PFF would apply their definition uniformly across all the plays they reviewed, so we're back to even playing field basically.
Also what is the WR can't get separation? Our problem is that our WRs get locked down too often so a lot the catches they have to make will be heavily contested.

Re: Ravens have the best dropped passes rate in the league
I'll admit I'm slightly biased since I never use PFF, but I find any statistic that has to be labeled as "reasonable" to be flawed.
My whole idea on what is reasonable could be very different from your idea. Some think that anytime a WR can get two hands on a pass it should be caught.
I'm just not comfortable with it.
I agree, but this is a separate issue.
For example this very article says that QBs with a low drop % have no excuse. I saw Boldin drop multiple passes in the KC game. If Boldin cannot gain enough separation to have many "reasonable catch" scenarios then all his drops might not get counted by this guy. He isn't just laying out stats for general information. Instead he is using flawed numbers to build a case for which QB has excuses for a bad completion % and which does not.
I know the Boldin example makes me sound like a homer, but I would expand that around the league. How many drops are not getting counted? Why would he not record the total number of drops and then separate those which he deems are "catchable"?
WRs in this league can make ridiculous catches every week so IMO a catchable ball is one that the WR can get his hands on. It might be very hard or nearly impossible to catch, but it is still catchable.360 tag: Ahhhhhhhhnold

Re: Ravens have the best dropped passes rate in the league
When they list Boldin as only having one drop, when we all saw him have three in the first quarter of the KC game, that's all the evidence I need to figure out that PFF sucks. I know that much.

Re: Ravens have the best dropped passes rate in the league
You have still not come up with an argument as to PFF using the same data and premise to what a drop pass really is to all other teams too. So your basically now saying that PFF are pro Ravens and dislike other teams and mark them down as drops more often than for us? It doesn't matter if Boldin had 3 dropped passes against KC, if PFF didn't mark them down as drop balls, then that's not what they class as a dropped pass. They will be doing that for every other team in the league, and we still come out pretty high.
