Re: Clemson has a 8.4 percent drop rate

Genuine question - What constitutes a "drop"?
Is it the WR touching the ball? Does it have to be "catchable"?

is the percentage of "catchable targets" dropped by a receiver.

I'd say that the ball touched their hands or hit them in the body but they didn't catch it. That's my guess.

Either way being 84th in it is Inexcusable...DJ and WRs etc.

I'd like to know the "catchable rate" on passes thrown

by our QBs.
In other words, what percentage of throws are considered catchable? I'd guess 75-80% at best.
And no, this isn't a criticism. I'm legitimately curious.

54.3% of his passes were caught, obviously catchable. 8.4% that weren’t caught were deemed catchable. So 62.7% of his passes have been catchable.

Match this up with the fact that it seems only about 1 in 4

is a catchable ball, not hard to see why the offense is not clicking. You could chunk it on every down, and still not put together enough completions to sustain a drive. Which is pretty much what has been happening. All us TNet geniouses can see that.
The question for the coaches is, what steps can really be taken to help overcome this at this point in time? Per rules, are we allowed to bring in a QB guru to help DJ work on footwork? I don't think so, otherwise we would not hear about college QBs who are draft eligible suddenly working with such people. They would have been working with them all along.
We have at least two former Clemson QBs on staff, Streeter and Boyd. Between them, they should be able to work these problems out. Tajh might not have made it in the league, supposedly because he couldn't read pro defenses, but NOBODY ever threw a prettier, more accurate deep ball than him. DJ has a Howitzer for an arm, but a Howitzer is only useful if the bomb lands on target at such a speed that it doesn't bounce off.
Streeter as a QB was tougher than nails, and adapted to whatever situation he was presented with. He certainly pulled a quick miracle with Cole Stoudt. No doubt that is what got him this job. So, what is the disconnect with DJ, because there certainly seems to be one. I have seen QBs in the past who never improved from their freshman year (Hello, TOAD ELLIS),but DJ appears to have taken a quantum leap BACKWARDS. If it is frustrating to US, I can only imagine what it is to him. This is a kid who has known nothing but success all his life, up to now.
Without work on fundamentals like footwork, release point, reading defenses, etc, just more practice in and of itself is not the answer. It would be the equivalent of grooving a bad golf swing. It just never holds up under pressure. That I CAN tell you from sad personal experience.
