The same place the James Jones critics are ?
To repeat for the umpteenth time...the drops have been troublesome, but exaggerated. Nelson has more drops this season than Finley, depending on which source you consult.
And how many times more targets? lol
We're not talking factors here. 13 more targets for Nelson...63 vs. 50. One more drop for Nelson equates to the same drops per target.
What did Jim Del Gaizo ever do to tic you off to this extant?The only hater club that I belong to is the former QB of the Pack.
I'm not a numbers guy, so I haven't looked at that stat, and it actually surprises me, which makes me guilty of that double standard (no, I don't care). I'm surprised Jordy has only 13 more targets than Finley and also one more drop. Difference is, one of them is a professional and a gamer, and one of them is not. There's no stat for that.
The key is Consistency. Until I see that very concept on the field he will always suck.
Cant say it any better
There should be some kind of gap between "inconsistent" and "sucking". If not, then you should have been labeling Driver "sucking" at any point over the past 3 seasons. Once again, performance is colored by the junk coming out of Finley's mouth.
Driver had 8 drops on 45 catchable balls last season according to Pro Football Focus, for a 17.8% drop rate, 6th. worse in the league, much worse than Finley this season.
But since Driver is a fine gentleman and an accomplished dancer, he didn't draw a fraction of the abuse Finley has drawn this season over drops.
STATS Inc. has Jimmy Graham leading the league in drops with 9 on 77 targets, a lot worse drop rate than Finley. Most of the complainers would be shocked to hear that Finley's drop count according to STATS, Inc. is 5. "NO, NO, NO...it must be more than that!", the complainers say. That's because many fans don't like the cut of his jib, so when he gets his hands on the ball, regardless of what the defender happens to do, it counts as a drop in their eyes.

DD never opened his mouth like Fin....I dont think DD every had key drops like Fin..
My opinion is Finley SUCKED for most of the games this year....We needed him in games and he failed to do his job....To catch the football...
He finally came through vs Det..
ONE GAME... If he can do it game after game rest of the year, then he wont suck..
How about Mason? Is he sucking right now? Yup he is...But we know he can be better..
Drops---
http://stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/leaders.asp?type=Receiving&range=NFL&rank=232 Jordy andFinley have 5 drops each
Jordy has been targeted 63 times compared to 50 targets..So more chances equal more of a chance to have more drops..I can't recall every drop for both..But to me seems like Finley has dropped more of the EASY ones..
This is interesting too....Finley only catches 64% of balls tossed to him .....Jordy 68%
Really not sure why your trying to defend Fin..Some think he sucks right now and needs to zip his lip and catch....
