His drops have been costly lately. Is this a concern down the stretch?


How have they been "costly"? They haven't cost us anything but more points. He'll get it shored up...it's one game. Same as Brees's turnovers lately....he'll get that squared away. These last few games, we've had moments where we weren't exactly impressive, and still are winning by double digits side from one game. They're working on the areas they need to improve on...we'll be fine bro.

I'd be interested to see "# of passes dropped" versus "# of passes thrown to"

So, prior to the four drops he had vs. Carolina, he had three drops in seven games.

Three drops in seven games is hardly a sign that a player has "issues" with catching the ball...

You bet it's a concern down the stretch...


...if he doesn't get any better at ball handling than this

meh, my excuse this week is that he was coming off the flu, I'm not worried about Colston down the stretch!
