Highest % of passes dropped by his receivers last season

Also had the highest % of bounced balls.
Wilson missed some short, easy ones for sure. Didn’t set his feet on a couple of them. Easily correctable with some work.
But he wasn’t helped by his weapons. That was clear. Some bad drops last year. That’s what happens when you’re throwing to Ty Johnson and Denzel Mims.

I read an article that he was trying so hard to have perfect placement due to the underwhelming receivers, that he was trying too hard and got in his head. Makes sense as in college he was a great short ball thrower and last year he was trying to bounce pass most of his short throws. The arm skill is there, just has to get right between the ears. A healthy and much improved WR and TE group should be a great assist in that.
great post. we only got to see the receivers when they were really, really, concentrating with their big boy thinking caps on. can you imagine what they looked like in practice.
i have no doubt that "placing the ball" was #2's issue for the reason you laid out... he was masterful at the short game in college.
