I really don't understand the dropps issue. T.O. has the most dropps and you don't hear anyone talking about cutting him. No, I am not comparing Devery to T.O. ...... just don't see that as the major reason to cut him. Is he a superstar...NO, but he is an average WR.

The reason is that T.O. has production to back up those drops. And in 2006 he had a built-in excuse.

The problem with a receiver that drops the ball is that you can't trust them. Fundamentally receivers have one primary job: CATCH THE DAMN BALL! If they cannot do that one job consistently, then they are a liability to your team.

That's why Moore and Copper sometimes get the nod, Generally they catch the ball when it's thrown to them.

We can afford to have Henderson around as the #3 or #4 guy simply to stretch the defense. But really he's supposed to be the trusted #2 veteran guy at this point.

That is true about TO dropping passes and you cannot ignore Devery's SPEED WHICH KILLS
