Finally, a post in this thread worth reading.

Is sod off an American phrase?

Next year Cody is gonna break out.

Drops are all about context.
If you drop a pass on first down it doesn't seem anywhere near as bad as dropping one on third down and people don't remember them...unless they are in the end zone.
Do they keep stats for what down the drop occurred?
That big one that DT dropped last week at the end of the game stood out because he was wide open and the catch would have put us inside McManus's range to win the game.
Consistency has been his biggest issue for the past couple of years.

I believe it’s “sawed off”. Yes it’s an American expression. Sod is a type of grass.

I was guilty...i admit it. His blocking and 40 speed somehow diminished my ability to recognize he sucked

DT isn't the best ever to play but he certainly is top 2 In Denver. Both are top Wr's for Denver and had drops, but to discount from either is just dumb and a waste of thread space. To be fair however I am not the thread police juts simply stating that you can call someone out for poor play but to discredit either player for some dumb drops is when tons of elite players have them is dumb. Just like determining whether a player is good or not by how he dives or doesn't dive for the ball....the DT hate explosion has been rampant all off-season....

Someone check out how many drops DT has this year, according to the stat keepers. I'll give you a hint, it's 2.

Now, tell me how many drops he's really had.

Not always dropped passed are counted off balls that should have been caught not ones that touched their hands that were to high or behind them. I will say...I have DT with 3 drops and 1 his talent should have been able to bring in making it 4 but subjective, However I can certainly see how they counted only 2. I'm sure all those players with all those drops had more that could have been considered drops cause of their talent, but weren't always easily catchable balls.

DT is a good-to-very good receiver, with incredible speed, size, talent. He is not always reliable. He plays below his talent. He is also paid like one of the premier WRs.

Expectations will be much higher towards one of these players. I will let you figure out why one is criticized and the other not.

FYI DT is the 12th highest paid WR so right around that very good WR range, I think Allen robinson, Ty Hilton and Alshon Jeffery are right behind him..He sometimes play's below his talent which goes to consistency and is maddening at times, but most times plays very good and at times even elite and makes clutch plays. Neither DT or Sanders were clutch last year, but during our elite years with manning DT was very clutch in many games. I mean whether his foot was on the line or not in week 1, the only reason we won is because he caught it in the first place to make the refs have to decide. I can overlook a drop on 3rd down if you can close the game out on a winning TD catch, however I know not everyone feels the same
