I am on Bre shad Perriman's bandwagon

[top dawg]

I pulled info from this site. Seems like they have pretty accurate info, but I could be wrong.

http://www.sportingcharts.com/nfl/stats/drops/2014/

It looks like they calculate the drop % off of total number of targets to drops. 145 targets, 10 drops, drop percentage of 6.9%. According to Rotoworld, Perriman was around 12.9% in 2014, but maybe it was calculated a different way? 12.9% is a pretty scary percentage of drops, but I've not followed him at all, nor have I watched any game film... still scary tho.

I was actually referring to KB's last year in college when I mentioned the +9% drop rate.

That's cool.  That was the information I was giving Mr. Scot in the other thread he was talking about, that you were unsure, in a previous post, where he got it.  I gave him KB's year last season, to Perriman's year last season, in terms of drop percentage.

There's this though...

Gil Brandt ‏@Gil_Brandt 3m3 minutes ago

Perriman: 8 drops on 99 targets in 2014. No drops in final 4 games. Bowl vs NCST: 9 catches, 138 yds, 16 targets, 0 drops, 7 1st downs

Dawg, if you really like this guy, you don't want me on your bandwagon.

Over the last few years, the Panthers have spent first round picks on several guys whom I've had concerns about. So frankly, my being worried about this kid is probably a good sign for him.

Just to get the record straight, the 8 drops on 99 passes was calculated by Pro Football Focus which should make a lot of people feel better about Perriman.

I am pretty sure that the other figure came from some other hack who didn't watch every pass and came up with the number based on what he saw.

Anyway, an 8% drop rate is still a little high, but it was less than Kelvin Benjamin's in his championship season.

As a refresher, here's probably the best site for checking out prospects for yourself instead of blindly listening to the prefabricated opinions of Kiper and the other media "scouts".

Main thing to take away from these videos, in my opinion, is how absolutely horrible Perriman's QB is.  Pay attention to how many of the passes he catches that he has to contort his body around to make.  He drops a couple he shouldn't, but I think his drop numbers are severely inflated by the quality of the passes thrown to him.

Not to mention how many times he would have been all alone for several easy touchdowns if his QB had the arm to get it to him. Dude simply outran his quarterbacks arm. That doesn't happen with Cam. Cams arm and this dudes legs are a match made in heaven.

You brought up football pedigree like it matters. Tough poo. Make a better argument next time.

You're counseling me on making arguments when I contradict your baseless one about Perriman's football smarts?

Priceless!

@Gil_Brandt: I don't worry too much about WRs w/ drops in college. Not too much. Coach Landry believed you could teach player to catch. I agree.

[top dawg]

This drop rate discrepany is maddening. Apparently there is CFF also that came up with a 14% figure, and PFF that came up with the 8 out of 99. I am going with Gil Brandt for the time being.

[top dawg]

It's not baseless. Scouts have knocked him for his lazy work ethic, limited football IQ, inability to finish routes consistently and his drop issues.

The only player we should be looking to draft from UCF is Jacoby Glenn.

They have knocked him for his work ethic, not his football IQ. Where the fug are you getting your info from?

In case you don't know, knowledge and IQ are not the same thing.

check out this throw. slant route, low and away. has nothing but green ahead of him, but because of the pass, he can only get a couple of YAC. should have been a huge play.
