I think when there's enough will and aggression, there's no shortage of talent either.  |

Finley is a bigger target than Driver, and based on the very small sample size we have from Driver so far this year, Driver drops the ball a lot more than Finley. But this very well may be a product (in part) of not getting enough snaps. |

I think Driver has only been in/thrown to on a handful of plays all year and one of those was a 26 yeard TD up the middle against da Bares. |
 Thanks to pack93z for the sig!!! |

Credit to ProFootballFocus -> Zero2Cool:  Obviously that is a very small sample size for Driver, and I don't know how this "Drop rate" is calculated, as 2/6 = 33.3%, not 40%, but the targets and receptions seem sound. And I seem to recall at least 3 drops from Driver so far, but a "Drop" may be subjective (If it hits you in the hands but a defender knocks it loose with a strong punch, is it a drop?). Regardless, you can see Finley targeted 6 times more than Driver has, but with only 3x the drops. Obviously two catches in a row could dramatically change these figures for Driver, but the fact is that he's dropped (at least) a third of the passes thrown his way. |

Out of six targets, five were catch-able. Of those five he dropped two. 2 out of 5 = %40

Since Driver wasn't the target, I'm not sure that counts... also Driver showed great body control just to react and get in a position to put his hands on. |

Why isn't there a catch-able list? ... They're adding the receptions and the drops together to get the catch-able amount. So their formula for drops is (100/(R+D))*D = D% Where R = Receptions D = Drops D% = Drop percentage |
