Pettis has a well documented dropping problem.

Captain obvious everyone. What's next you're going to tell us Michael Jackson was black when everybody knew he was a white man.DerekJohnson said: -
PFF has some decent ideas but this tweet is exactly why they're mostly shit. Percentage of dropped targets is a completely worthless statistic. If the QB misses you by 5 yards and you never had a chance at the ball that counts as a target that wasn't dropped. As evidenced by Pettis having 53 catches, but 72 targets.
Drop percentage is a worthwhile stat. It requires some subjectivity (determining if a ball was dropped or not isn't an exact science), but has value. But only if you're finding the percentage of balls that could have been caught that were dropped. In this case, Pettis caught 53 of 54 catchable balls (per PFF's tracking). That's damn good, and deserves to be applauded.
1 drop in 72 targets could not be more meaningless. -

Hi -
You only point out the ones that he dropped, what about the ones that he caught and gained no yardage on??Baseman said:dnc said:
