[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 783687"] I've read the reports: 10 drops as a junior, 7 as a senior. Evidently, college target counts are hard to find. I can't find them. In Moore's case I'd reckon they were 100+. While a roughly 7% senior year drop rate is not a good number the Packers would not have been oblivious to it and drafted him anyway. Moore would need to have historically bad drops, not just ordinarily bad, in the last 2 preseason games for him to be considered for the cut list. Over the past two seasons, according to one source, Allison has had 5 drops on 61 targets. Last season it was 4 drops on 39 targets for a 10.3% drop rate with a 46.2 QB rating when targetted: [URL]https://www.playerprofiler.com/nfl/geronimo-allison/#!#current-year[/URL] That's a pretty low bar. James Jones had a couple of bad drop seasons as he was becoming an established player: 6 drops on 63 targets in 2009; 6 drops on 87 targets in 2010, with several wide open deep balls included in those numbers. Finley was dubbed "paddlehands" in these pages among other unfriendly monikers. Adams had 6 drops on 94 targets in 2015 according to sportingcharts.com, comparable to what we might guess was Moore's roughly 7% senior drop rate, and beat reporters and fans alike were putting him on the bust/cut list, an opinion I rejected at the time. You'd think nobody saw the college tape where Moore makes tough catches. Or that he's getting more throws than the other guys on the basis of winning routes. Or that on 15 thrown balls defenders have found it necessary to interfere on 3, maybe 4, occasions, called or not called. His route running is much better than I expected at this early stage. He has the Rodgers endorsement. The QB has opined that one big play and he'll be off and running. He might as well have said to Moore and fans alike, "relax". Moore is not going anywhere. [/QUOTE]
