Sammy had 2nd most uncatchable targets in league in 2014


Recommended Posts

...eh, I love Sammy, but I wouldn't say that he's the better player "by far" just yet. However the Bills, if they didn't trade up, were going to take Ebron, not OBJ, and that would have been a major blunder. Again my major gripe was them not using their 2nd rounder last year instead of this year's 1st rounder.

 

Yeah and that reason is now coaching OL in Jax. Where he belongs (and probably not even).

I thought that Lions catch was the catch of the year. OBJ's outstretched one was amazing, but I thought Sammy's was more impressive.

Me, too. I've seen many similar catches to the one OBJ hauled in and they were all incredible. Sammy's required a level of athleticism and concentration above that. When I look at the replay, I am amazed by how craptastic that throw really was.

 

GO BILLS!!!

Using Marrone's decision isn't really a valid argument.

 

You can find every stat imaginable on the internet.

Actually, there's only an 86.7% chance of that.

@thadbrown7: How about this:

Per @FO_ScottKacsmar Sammy Watkins had 2nd most uncatchable throws in 2014. Odell Beckham 2nd least.

Have at it #Billsmafia

@FO_ScottKacsmar: 2014 Highest rate of Uncatchable Targets

1. Cecil Shorts 37.3%

2. Sammy Watkins 34.4%

3. A.Hawkins 32.1%

4. VJax 31.0%

5. Mike Wallace 30.4

@FO_ScottKacsmar: Lowest rate of Uncatchable targets, 2014 WR

1. Jarvis Landry 15.2%

2. Odell Beckham Jr. 16.2%

3. Roddy White 16.8%

@FO_ScottKacsmar: Uncatchable = ball overthrown, underthrown, thrown away, QB hit in motion, batted at line, tipped by teammate

Awesome find - thanks.

What this stat tells me is that the Bills did not use him effectively at all. Where were the bubble screens and quick crosses? He is a RAC machine and they didn't put him in position to succeed.

I wonder if it was rib issues or just terrible coaching.

Unfortunately, this wont prevent ESPN from continuing to talk about ODB like he's the greatest athlete on the face of the planet (except for Johnny Football and Michael Sam of course)

Batted balls at the line were "uncatchable targets" to...Sammy?

 

Ditto balls thrown away? And balls that are hit while the QB is in motion?

 

How does this guy know who the target was in each of these cases?

They probably look at where the QB is aiming?
