The early stats for the NFCS's Rookie WR's... What does it mean?

[PanthersAlv]

Looking over the Rookie WR stats for this season so far, Is there anything that can be deducted from these stats?

(Highlighted are the NFCS Rookie WR's)

 

 

FOR NOTE: Devonta Freeman has 5 catches(tied for 16th) for 47yards(17th), and Philly Brown has 7 catches(tied for 10th) for 66yards(14th).

According to this link: http://www.sportingcharts.com/nfl/stats/drops/2014/

Evans has no drops, on 20 targets and 13 receptions.

KB has 3 drops, on 25 targets and 16 receptions.

Cooks has no drops, on 24 targets and 18 receptions.

With all the talk about Evans and Cooks over KB... seeing these stats, being KB is in teh middle of them in catches, but leading by a big margin in yards... what can be said about the comparison, if anything at all?

[Cam2Benji]

All I know is that we got the steal of the draft and the best WR of this draft class.

 

 

Benjamin has star written all over him!

[The Huddler]

KB had an off day in drops with the lions. Cooks and Evans are very good players going into the futre in their own right, and have lived up to the hype.

Benji Is special. He has Bryant, Marshall, Green, Johnson type of caliber. not necesarily a direct comparison to any of those guys, because he is his own beast that others will be compaired to.

Kelvin

[The Huddler]

Those three drops came against the lions. Perhaps hes a little bit inconsistent or streaky at this point, but he has hands. He could go 100 targets without a drop and it wouldnt suprise. He also will be in the top ten plays every week.

every week

Amidst all the things going on with Hardy I really wish DG would have went with Allen Robinson over Ealy in the second round.

Why do humans look for patterns in everything? I got a high five from a spider yesterday that doesn't mean I'm trying to figure out if the spiders are starting an uprising

For a second I thought that article was current. It was from May so that was about right coming put of the draft. KB would definitely be near the top of anyone's list now.

[Ricky Spanish]

Looks like KB is going to be our TO

 

Drops some head scratchers then comes back and gets you 90+ yards and a TD.

 

Lafail would drop balls then just give up, so that's an improvement I spose. 

[The Saltman]

Dont forget about Sammy Watkins. I know you guys are only looking at receivers in the division and/or Conference but Watkins to me is right there under Benjamin.

i would love to know what kind of logic brought you to that conclusion... Robinson is a WR. with Hardy's issues, it seems to me that its a GOOD thing that we got Ealy...

[NYPantherFan]

It's too early to try to compare these stats.. Panthers feed KB the ball and has more catches over 20+ yards than the others. It's just a product of not having anyone else to throw the ball to.

I mean Philly Brown ranks 10th on that list in receptions. Doesn't mean we are screaming he is better than others.

Plus, we're not hurting at WR. DG plugged that position up well.

Next you'll claim he plugged up DT the year before. Get out of your fantasy land!
