The Good Hands Team
here is the list of receivers with the highest drop percentage from last season (according to kc joyner, the "football scientist"):
all i can say is... yikes.
on a positive note, donnie franchise was best among the leagues full time starters in kc's metric on lowest bad decision percentage (tom brady was second among full time starters). so even in his injury ruined season, he was usually making good decisions just unable to make the plays... of course when he did make the plays the receivers dropped the ball.

Welcome back. Think I saw Football Outsiders say the Iggles were #2 overall as a team. 5 has always been very good with the football. A novelty for QBs in this town.
Donnie Mac usually misses low, which ensures the ball wont be picked off, and is conservative to the point of underleading receivers (an overlead often results in an INT as well). This just basically confirms what alot of us knew, that Donnie Mac is a great system quarterback, who if he gets his athleticism back will be special. I dont mind his lack of accuracy, because again he misses in the RIGHT PLACE>
its eagles season peter!
