That dudes a beast (thanks Gruden!) but his hands gotta get firmed up huh? His drops have been costly lately. Is this a concern down the stretch?

He killed us in Atlanta last year - dropping TD's, 3rd down conversions, etc.

I think he's a great WR but it's strange how he goes all season without a big drop and then has like 4 in the same fricking game.

Again, drops are really all about confidence I think..if someone drops a pass it usually gets in your head and becomes contagious

Last year he had an injured hand. And another thing I was discussing with a friend regarding Colston. We don't see every game involving other teams' top receiver, and we tend to think the great ones don't make mistakes. All of them, and I mean all of them, have stinkers.

nah, his hands arent very good. every since his injury hes had drop issues. end of last year and all this year.

people just forget because everyone loves colston

eta: to clarify they arent very good compared to how much people like to claim they are. Especially when it comes to some of the easier catches.

I thought Drew trusted Lance Moore the most. Drew's such a lying bitch I hate this team!

idk how you can say this when he clearly has issues consistently catching passes.

calm down. the only one bitching is you. im just discussing the team. If you want to be depressed from that then thats just a reflection of your personality.

inconsistent or overrated would be a better description i guess.

he makes some great catches some games and then drops easy passes others.

I think it would be fair to say the following:

Colston had an amazing year in 2006

Colston had a disappointing year in 2007

Colston had a disappointing year in 2008 (effected by injury)

Colston has had a very nice year so far in 2009 - one bad game.


I don't think anybody dislikes Colston - he's the type of dude that you love to have on your team. I'll be shocked if he has another bad game.

True of most receivers, including the great ones.

Incorrect. He has had many games where hes dropped multiple balls he should have caught.

Yea, hes very good but he just has inconsistent hands.

But some people on here get pissed when you find any fault with him.

finding fault is one thing but when we're 8-0 and our best receiver gets criticized its ridiculous... people on this site love to complain and bitch.... its stupid the dude had one bad gamne and last year he was banged up......
