Dropped Passes - tied for 2nd worst in NFL
 

https://www.sportingcharts.com/nfl/s...rcentage/2016/

Dropped 4.9% of passes this year compared to 3.5% last year. Harris better fix his shit in the offseason. Maclin had some uncharacteristic ones. DAT/Ware/West were pretty sloppy this season too. Conley had a couple but improved down the stretch.


At least 5 dropped passes in the loss to Pitt.


Total dropped passes: 26 in regular season

Maclin never gets the ball thrown his way so I can understand that...

Oakland has more dropped passes and they have an elite offense.

Kelce could have used some stick em

Is there a stat that tracks all the missed wide open receivers for a TD we can compare it to?

Because no QB ever misses open players... You stupid ****.

Maybe if Andy Reid can get in a time machine and bring back Randy Moss, Cris Carter, Tony Gonzalez and Marvin Harrison in their primes, we can improve to average on offense?

Well that's just not true. Alex does all the time!

Is it possible that Alex just doesn't throw a very catchable pass? I know this is not easy to gauge and I've never seen any kind of ranking among active QBs who throws a more catchable pass and who throws a less catchable pass, but the concept is not completely foreign.

For example, in the article below, Sam Wyche talks about Joe Montana throwing a particularly catchable pass.

I know that dropped passes killed us in this game. Ugh! They probably dropped 100yards worth of passes. Just unacceptable. Maybe they should start using Haley's port a potty technique in practice, or something. These guys, especially the guy that is supposed to be the best TE in the league, have got to catch those passes.

DAT and West didn't even get thrown to that much throughout the season, so they don't count.

Yes this is a very plausible theory just like the Kelce drop that was down at his knees. Would a better throw have made it a more manageable catch I think so but still no excuse for him dropping it. It was catchable.

I don't know but I saw quite a few passes this season that couldn't have been more "catchable". The guys just need to hold on to the damn ball.

I wanna blame Smith bad for us losing but I just can't. Drops were deadly. Smith converted on 4 th downs and tied the the game. Ref took it away like the NFL paid him to. They wanted Brady and Ben and got it.

He didn't play all that great the entire game. He had some errant throws some shake your head throws. He didn't propel the Chiefs to win the game and that is something he is going have to do at some point if Chiefs are serious about him taking us to the Super Bowl. He has to take the reigns and make it look like Chiefs are in business. He does not do that. Aaron Rodgers takes the reigns and you know the Packers are potent for it. That's the difference between the two of the same draft class.

I agree. It's just that this game the OL was shit and our WRs are just not very good as a whole. They dropped 4 first downs and Kelce dropped a big one damn near at the goal line.

I have no problem cutting him but it won't happen.

After that first drive, Alex didn't do shit for 3 quarters. His receivers have a couple of drops in the fourth and he manages to put up a measly 16 points against a defense that held opponents to an average of 20 during the regular season. Our "passing attack" has been terrible the entire year.

He's ****ing awful

True dat.

Considering there was no issue with catching last year. Probably not.

There was an issue last year, your stats show it

This is a huge indictment of Alex Smith. His poorly thrown wobbly balls appear to be really hard to catch.

Don't let that cock gargler Bob hear you talking about how ****ed up Alex is, he'll freak out.

Is there a stat for OP's mother dropping him on his head as a baby?

Don't you two have unemployment checks to pick up? Or is this your week to get rug burns on main Street to make a dollar?

Why did you capitalize "Street" and not "main?"

Watching Rodgers makes me jealous of what actual NFL QB's can do.

Alex Smith will never win a Super Bowl as a starting NFL QB.

Mark my words.

Because he is not Smart.

Because he's a ****ing moron.

But he's likely to win you 8-10 games a year.

Great seats still available!

I see what you did There.

2017 season tickets are on Sale NOW!

ROFL

FML

:clap:

Can't teach an old dog common sense

Yeah because there are 31 Rodgers in the league and we are the only ones without one.

The one to kelce was bad but the killer was to Wilson. We were driving pretty good till then.

And common sense tells us that Alex Smith will never win a SB as a starting QB in the NFL.

Hi pete!!!

We haven't had a QB capable of winning a SB since Trent 10 years ago.

Smith has won more playoff games for us than Green did....just saying

Go suck Alex's dick somewhere else

If you guys had given Trent a defense back then instead of a turnstile, you'd probably have won a Super Bowl - at least in 2003, when you had that crazy stacked offense.

Alex has had some great defenses in San Francisco and Kansas City and still never even sniffed a ring.

Let's give up some draft picks for Romo. And then when he's dead by week 4 we can put Smith back in.

GET ON THE HORN DORSEY

No, is there a stat that tracts how fast a qb is getting pressured on every pass attempt.

Is there a stat on how wr's get open after a play breaks down cause ours are never open on broken plays.

Wut? Everytime Alex took a sack or threw the ball away they showed a replay of a wide open receiver

This isn't ****ing Madden, kid. Real QBs don't get to see the entire route development for all his targets simultaneously and then click a button.

This argument is rediculous. Down at his knees? You see other receivers contorting their bodies in crazy f-ing positions to make insane catches but when chiefs receivers drop passes that are well placed its somehow Smiths fault. This bullshit is so tired. Harbernick GTFO of here with your tired shit and dont crawl out of your hole until Kapernick does something worthy of talking about again.

Tattoo hands down worst takes on football.

Your vagina lips are flapping verbs and adjectives again; best have a doctor look at that.

Smith is a giant bag of mule shit, Pete...just sayin'.

And that one win was against a franchise that has accomplished even less than the Chiefs.

Dropped balls is not an official NFL stat.

Don't forget Terrell Owens! I love me for me!

I wish people would learn that WRs need to get in a rhythm too. When a WR catches a ball in the 1st quarter and doesnt get another chance until the 4th, he is not in a rhythm. Doesnt excuse the drop, but it is a factor.

At least half the QBs in the league could have won a Super Bowl back then if they had that crazy stacked offense plus a reasonable defense.

Objectively it's pretty clear that Smith isn't the problem for KC. As the OP states the Chiefs need to focus on improved receiving talent and developing an O-line that can give Smith time to throw.

The other area to look at for KC on O is running back. Ware isn't the answer.
Reid's play calling is a big problem.
Also don't be afraid to evaluate your punting and your short kicking game.
And obviously the cheerleaders need upgraded.

Just leave the QB position as it is.

First off, the OP is a reerun unfit to feed ducks at a public park.

Second, no.
