Epidemic is right. And that's a great question. It's a great question...and like penalties, it's not just rookies either... veterans are just as guilty on the drops, penalties, injuries, etc.

I wish I had an answer...I'm sure ShanaLynch do too.

Probably would have a lot more if there were more catchable passes thrown

Poor players drop passes. That is what makes them poor players.

At this point in the season, I would like to think the staff has spent a good deal of time on this already.

Agree poor players drop passes but we're leading the league in this category.....it's a different ball game...

We lead the league in poor players, hence leading the league in dropped passes.

I can't imagine the mental pressure Beathard faces. Not only does he know he is going to get smacked much of the time, he also knows he has to throw a near perfect pass and even then, it might be dropped.

In a close game like yesterday, just having one sure-handed receiver like Garcon in the game could have changed the result.

Frustrating...

this offseason we need to:

-ditch Goodwin, sign Taylor Gabriel.
-Get Garcon back healthy
-Draft or sign a starting TE. Kittle is a solid #2 but not a #1
-Draft Simmie Cobbs

nope. shanahan's fault.

We're also throwing 50 times a game because we're always behind. Then again, you could say we're always behind because these guys can't do their job AND CATCH THE DANG BALL. Take away one crucial drop per game and no doubt we have at least one win by now.

This...and it's not just the quantity, it's the quality. Critical drops in the RZ and EZ and so many on 3rd downs that killed drives and momentum or missed out on FG opportunities.

Yep. Add in an untimely false start or sack in those situations, and there's a reason the team can't score. Just a perfect storm of a bad season.

This is why we need to stop hyping up mid round rookies. Kittle has hurt us more than he's helped us this year. His hands are absolutely brutal. The honeymoon with Kittle will wear off around here soon -- if he doesn't turn it around he'll be the new Vance McDonald around here by next September.

Also, guys like Goodwin are cheap free agents for a reason. They can't catch.
