You know as well as I do that it's impossible to know that unless you go and watch the game film.

They don't keep (or at least publish) stats on dropped passes.

But for argument's sake, let's say you're right. The receivers drop more of Lee's passes than they did of JJ's passes last year.

So effin what? What does that say?

To me, it says our receivers drop passes. Just as they did last year.

What does it say to you?

Because I'm interested in the truth, even if it's not on my side I'll share this:

quote:
Drops have not been as consistent of a problem as the quarterback play, although LSU receivers dropped 10 passes in the first four games. The Tigers had none in the next three games, but the performance in the Auburn game was alarming and costly.

So in 2010, LSU had 10 dropped balls in the 1st four games. None in the next 3 games. Then 5 drops in the Auburn game.

LINK

Too tired to bother looking up drops for the rest of the season (post Auburn).

To recap, through the first 8 games of last year, LSU receivers dropped 15 passes with 5 of those coming in one game (Auburn).

So I guess the receivers really do hate Jarrett Lee.

ETA: Jim Kleinpeter said we had 5 drops against Auburn, not 6 as The Reveille reported, so I'll go with the far more reputable Kleinpeter on that one.

So now you can say that our receivers dropped as many balls in the last 2 games as they did through the first 8 games last season.

Why do the receivers hate Lee?
