	Tampa- Roy drops a ton of balls. I remember last year telling my friend that Roy drops a ball every 2 games. Well it just so happens that he dropped 8. Exactly 1 per 2 games. That is too many drops for a star WR. It's the reason I could actually argue Detroit trading the guy. I'm sick of seeing him drop easy passes and then laugh it off. Roy needs to step up his game this year and finally become an ELITE WR. He has way too much talent not to.

	Simba, My point wasn't that Roy doesn't have drops, it was that I have never seen any receiver drop as many passes as Terrell Owens and with the amount of balls that go his way I really can't imagine that anyone has more in any season. So I ask again, what does the league count as a drop?

	To clarify the question of dropped passes - dropped passes is not a league tracked stat, but is one that is tracked by some media sources (particularly if they're interested in fantasy football). As to what they count as a drop, I don't know specifically - but going out there and finding a resource that you can compare everyone on isn't too hard, so I went to the Washington Post to get some comparison numbers for discussion. From what I found there are plenty of players who are worse then Roy Williams in passes dropped, including for example Randy Moss (9), Terrell Owens (10) and Braylon Edwards (12). These top-receivers were all on the "leaderboard" for the leaders in dropped passes over the 2007 season go to: stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/leaders.asp On this board the worst Lions player is Shaun McDonald, who is on the leader board with 8 dropped passes (tied for 9th worst in that category), whereas Roy Williams falls off their leader board as he only has 6 dropped balls by their stats (stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/playerstats.asp).

	So I see my boy Braylon still has the dropsies!!! they still must have missed about 10 of TO's because I swear everytime i see a game of his from Dallas, Philly or San Fran he drops a good 2 balls. People have always just seemed to forget about it because of the 60 yard TD he scored!!!!! Thanks Elric.

	Elric, Most of these guys don't even catch 60% of what's thrown their way by these stats. I am sorry but there are very few receivers that i would take above Roy.

	Doc, Roy's negitives seem to be the same as the other top receivers negitives except the one that's out of his control, his QB!!!! No one can afford 10 drops in a season in my book. Keyshawn Johnson doesn't get a lot of respect but I would be you can't find a season where he dropped more than 5 passes. We Lions fans appreciate the AVERAGE TEAM label at this point!! So I take it that you run that web site? I enjoy your posts. Keep it up!!
