Cooper, Gallup, and Cobb have each contributed, Cooper the most.

Dak currently has a 74.5% completion percentage. Without drops that would go up to 85.4% for the season.

The most notable 2016 QBs all in the top 3.

Cant be, I heard here that the only reason Dak looks better than Wentz this year is because of drops. Interesting.

It'll get better as their concentration does -- let's hope that happens very soon.

Somebody needs to remind Cooper that he's not with Oakland any longer! ;)

So how has this not prevented Dak's QBR from being so high? Isn't completion percentage a factor in QBR?

I’ll be honest.

I really haven’t even noticed this. Dak’s been so sharp even with the drops, I guess it didn’t really register.

They typically occur in the first half along with most penalties.

Looks like Wentz has even less excuses now, despite his excusers blaming his bad play on dropped balls.


(I have seen a lot of drops by Dak's receivers this year, but they were plays that Dak eventually made up so they were ignored. Wentz's receivers dropped balls when the game was on the line.)

Couldn't care less what goes on in Philly, but we need to get this fundamental resolved before it actually starts to hurt us - stating the obvious here.

Cooper dropping the football isn't new. It's one of the reasons he's not in Oakland anymore.

In Dallas so far what he's brought to the field has outweighed them, but I don't think they're going anywhere any time soon.

Don't forget T.O. dropped a ton of balls too. Sometimes even great receivers have the problem.
