A useless metric of nothing. This is a prime example of why such things need to be disregarded. So subjective it adds nothing to the conversation.
...but...but...if a guy had 8 drops it would tell you. If a guy had 8 drops, I'd know by watching the game.
Seriously I wonder how many people are employed in this useless field of nothing. It extends well beyond sports, into just about every business and gov't, screwing things up and making it harder the vast majority of the time. In the end, you still need actual knowledge and decision making to make an accurate decision. These things, only add more to do, don't add anything, except muddy the waters and opens things up to errors.
Specifically on this, most people consider if it hits you in the hands, you gotta catch it. There are a few reasons why maybe it's ok to drop it. You get injured on the play. You are leaping full out - on the way down - and it barely touches the last bendable section of your middle finger. But of course, these are actual things people have to figure out and judge on their own. Numbers won't tell you this.
It was funny, so many people on that thread missed what Sando was saying, and were saying ....oh so Wilson can't get it in there. Or I can't believe Crabtree didn't have any drops.
...and people wonder why such useless things should be avoided at basically all costs? Because no one understands it, and just about everyone misinterprets them. It fools most of the people, all of the time.
