You'd also have to look at how they dropped the ball. How many of those passes were hailmary passes, how many were passes that would require some amazing circus type of catch, how many of those passes were just short enough to get one hand on it, but maybe too long to really reach out to catch. I just think there are a lot of variables that one must consider before saying the receiver has the case of the dropsees and shouldn't be considered.
