True they may be easy as pie to catch physically. Been there done that. The mental part is sometimes hard to beat, but the good ones will. You remember when,I think it was Bowie?, that was attempting to catch a long sideline throw and actually went thru the motion of catching it and actually threw the ball straight up? - That was a nervous nelly attempt with stiff hands.....but he overcame it.

Yeah, some WR's get "shell shocked", or have mental blocks. But it's far more rare than weak technique.

Another point: Too often coaches fall in love with "track" speed. I'd rather see a 4.7 40 guy* who catches 95%+ of his targets, than a 4.3 guy who drops 20%+ of his targets.

*like Jerry Rice - Berry was slower.
