The fact that GB, ATL, and BAL are right there in the top 10 (GB 11) tells you that drops don't dramatically affect passing results.
I would like to see a scatterplot on this and see how the correlation is. I think it will be more scattered than linear.
3 of the teams with the best passing attacks in the NFL (Pats, Saints, Texans before Schaub got hurt) have a low amount of dropped balls
HOU is ranked 17th. Now throw in MIN, TEN, OAK, and WAS down their in the low drops and I think the correlation here is not very strong at all.
Drops by themselves, no. That is not sufficient data to judge.
Exactly. I know it doesn't play the only importance, but QB ability weighs in the most when it comes to pass production.
I wpuld argue it is a team thing. Qb ability, WR ability, OL pass blocking and how ,uch respect does the run game command. Give me an average NFL QB and give me a line that gives him 5 seconds to throw every down and I will give you a QB that makes the pro Bowl. Megatron and Randy Moss Both made QBs look pretty damn good. Randy gives us a before and after picture..
But there is no question what Megatron does for his qb. Just fling it...even into double coverage. Does not need to be accurate.
