    If we're going to give validity to this idea that Fitz not throwing the most catchable ball plays a significant part in the drops, then he and any receivers who feel like it's a problem need to get together and play catch for an extra hour every day for the rest of the season. Fitz can't improve his fundamentals and mechanics in the heat of the moment overnight, but our receivers can do more to get used to the ball he throws now if they're not already.

    Fitz was 19 of 30 with 6 CLEAR Drops. Add in those 6 and Fitz is 25 of 30 80% which is Heisman QB type numbers.

    Yes, there were six clear drops. But 3 of those were on passes that were behind the WR or that they had to adjust to make the catch. Passes that I fully agree "should" have been caught, but Fitz didn't make those catches as easy as they should have been. His accuracy still needs improvement.
    It's the roller coaster of hope that this program keeps us on that makes it hell being a State fan. - CadaverDawg, 10/15/22

    Any of the sports media/stats sites actually track "Drops"? I'd be interested in seeing those numbers for the past few years

    When I was writing the article I couldn't find one unfortunately. Would love to see the actual number.
