David Givens to be an Eagle?

[Geowhizzer]

Agreed. As GF keeps saying, anyone of the Pats' receivers should be welcomed with open arms. The dudes never drop passes.

Wait until they have a whole training camp with Pinkston and McMullen under their belts.  They'll be dropping passes like old pros.

You don't have to be smoking Tom Brady's hog to point out here that the quarterback has a LOT to do with low drop stats.

Was that the first worm burner reference of 2006?

[MURP]

 Givens and Branch were tied for 11th in the AFC for WR's with the most dropped passes. 

[Beermonkey]

Givens and Branch were tied for 11th in the AFC for WR's with the most dropped passes. 

But some of the leaders before them are Antonio Gates, Jerry Porter & Chad Johnson. All of them are players I doubt we'd place the "ball dropper" tag on if there was a chance to sign them.

[rjs246]

Tied for 11th?! In their conference!? Oh no!

sarcasm to look past your lack of fact checking... predictable.

Wow, I've got a MURP on my nuts. How did that get there?

[sallad selgae]

Givens and Branch were tied for 11th in the AFC for WR's with the most dropped passes.

Is that number of passes dropped or percentage?

Wow, I've got a MURP on my nuts. How did that get there?

Don't know how that got there, but searing it off with a red-hot fire poker should get rid of it.

[SunMo]

MURP's a liar, they are tied for 12th

[rjs246]

And he dropped 6 passes all year. Which is one every 2.5 games. I wouldn't exactly say they have the dropsies. But you know, MURP has a crush on me today, so let him take his shots.

[ice grillin you]

yeah but how many of those drops would have been for first downs?

[rjs246]

Nine.
