Even if a lot of those balls had been caught, they would have done nothing. If a receiver really has to extend himself to get to a poorly thrown ball, there's not much he can do once he's caught it.

I totally agree that YAC would have been minimal if those balls were caught but since many that were dropped were done so past the line of scrimmage the result would have been shorter yardage on the next down or in some cases a first down.

Im not defending JJ but also frustrated that our superstar super talented WR group would touch so many balls and still drop them.

And this is the root of the problem, especially on the third down throws. They either fall down trying to catch it, or at least try and make a play.
