It’s been a while since I’ve gotten a new set of cans but whenever I do, I always break em in with Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics
Which kicks off a playlist with an eclectic set of music to test them out
But Sweet Dreams is always first

And yes, I had the qualified players only filter on and Caleb, who has only three targets, somehow made it through that filter
And, yes, I did in fact bust out laughing when I saw him up top

Quick note on CROE
Basically like CPOE, CROE credits receivers for making tough catches and docks them for missing easy ones
Unlike CPOE, it is less likely to be influenced by factors outside the players control (please correct me if I’m wrong here)

On the note of how he opens his answer to that mailbag question
I mentioned CROE in my last thread when I talked about Rome and called out how Caleb’s CPOE is impacted by our receivers also
Solak’s initial quip has a good bit of truth to it
Here are the numbers

So, I’m still not concerned as I’ve seen growth and think it’s just part of the growing pains (eventually I will be if it keeps showing up)
But Denny is right to call it out
That’s too many misfires in one game

Anyway, Caleb’s issue seems to be his footwork from what I can tell
It gets sloppy at times when he’s either dropping back from under center, having to reset in the pocket, or is hitching to his next progression and pulling the trigger
It’s all stuff that wasn’t a part of his game before this year

NFL Pros CROE all but confirms my frustration with Rome this season.
He’s taken a massive step, I don’t want to take that away from him
But he needs to sure up those hands
He’s been more like his first couple years in college than his last year at Wash when it comes to that

Also, I stand by my Rome point, there were 2 passes that he should have caught
A third that looked like he settled earlier than Caleb expected, ball was still low so he had to reach and dig it out, still.. if Josh downs can make that catch, Rome should too

I think he has and continues to each week though, but I might just be a homer

I came into the season thinking it was going to be rough early both mechanically and mentally considering.
If he didn’t look significantly more comfortable like he does now, and noticeably better already (FTN seems to agree here) by now, I’d call myself out for copium

So add the fact that he is trying to play from the pocket as much as he can and learning to read these out, trust his eyes, and think less
While handling new drop backs, hitching in rhythm with his reads, etc
(On top of everyone else also needing to be on their shit as they learn)

Learning to trust what his eyes are seeing instinctually instead of thinking as he takes on all the new concepts
They ran incredibly basic concepts last year, a lot that just attacked the flats (7-flat, slant-flat, bubbles) and he rarely was asked to drop back from under center.

ACC%:
Season - 69.4
Last 4 Games - 72.9
Last 2 Games - 74.6
Last game - 81.5
The reason I mentioned this should have been expected isn’t just him learning to turn his back
Under center pure drop back footwork, learning to play in rhythm tying his feet to reads instead of freelancing…

Right, and I’d accept Rotoviz catchable ball rate (I dont have access to it)
I don’t believe PFRs bad throw rate handles the throw aways or as much as Rotoviz does (like throw aways and batted passes)
But his FTN Accuracy Rates demonstrate the growth I was mentioning

Aside: CPOE should really be AdjCPOE
Remove the attempts that were throw away, spikes, and drops and you get a bit closer
Does not fix the fact that it’s still opportunity driven which, but, over a season won’t matter as much
Sample size matters for all stats though, anyway

Anyway, @dennycarter.bsky.social hopefully I made a coherent enough argument that this doesn’t come off too ranty and sorry if it does.
Seen examples way worse than this, leading to some real toxic discourse around advanced stats and analytics, so I can be a sensitive ass nerd and obv homer

Been amazing getting separation, but catching those is the difference from being a solid WR1 and being Elite.
The frustrating part is, as a prospect, I expected this to be a big part of his game because of his last year at Wash
(Aside: Loveland’s been the exact opposite, my god he looks so good)

Which is why, imo, the past couple weeks have been incredibly promising.
Now, about that ball placement..
Rome made a really nice catch, which, fucking finally
He should have made one or two more imo, and has rarely made the tough catch when asked
