Drops are mostly a mental issue and are the result of broken concentration, like when they don't wanna take a big hit, when they are already thinking about yards after the catch before they even have possession of the ball, or when they just have their heads up their asses. Why does the QB have to be cometely perfect with his ball placement? If the ball hits a receiver in the hands and the receiver isn't making some absurd diving/jumping play, then they should catch it everytime.

One of those passes was behind Drob's head, IIRC. Pat threw as he was being dragged down, and his body was rotating away from the LoS at release. That ball was high and fluttery and well behind DRob. You can probably count on one hand the number of WRs in the league that catch that ball. Probably all of those are going to the HOF.
Just sayin'.
DRob isn't elite. Not saying he shouldn't have caught at least one of those passes, but let's be real, he ain't Jerry Rice. Put a ball in a pretty awkward spot, and he's less likely to catch it.
