In most cases, it seems like an offseason and taking some time off really helps. Helped James Jones, Davante, etc. Like any bad habits in sports, it is so hard to turn it around during the season because it gets in your head.Pugger wrote: ↑24 Feb 2025 09:23If we all remember Davante had issues catching the ball during his first couple of seasons. Let's hope Wicks figures it out too. NFL WRs who can't catch contested balls aren't worth their salt IMO.go pak go wrote: ↑11 Feb 2025 13:18So Wicks has the lowest number of routes (didn't see Watson because his routes and targets were so low).
Wicks had the most Targets but 4th most receptions and 5th most receiving yards on the team.
So it seems he gets open in limited routes really well (would support he's a good route runner) but can't catch the damn ball.

The thing with Davante was he never had any drop problems until that one season. When he was at Fresno he was coming down with everything including the difficult passes.
Wicks was dropping balls in college too. Gotta really hope he can clean it up somehow but it might be who he is. Even TO made a HoF career while having drop issues.

IMHO most drop issues are lack of concentration, and thinking about too many things during the catch process, and usually occur in the first couple of seasons of the player's career, however, other issues do occur later, one of our receivers needed eye glasses (contacts) can't remember the name now, but that was a 5th or 6th-year player.lupedafiasco wrote: ↑24 Feb 2025 12:29The thing with Davante was he never had any drop problems until that one season.

It’s 100% why he fell. He dropped 14% of his college passes. That’s incredibly high.

Adams was fine. Then Adams got hurt, then started dropping balls, it got in his head, then 78K fans turned on him every weekend boo'ing the &%$@ out of him. Then he healed, got his head right was back on track to being one of the best.
OK, thanks, I didn't follow up on Wick's background or college stats, so I would agree that, lower catch % might be an issue for him his whole career, bummer because he does everything else pretty welllupedafiasco wrote: ↑24 Feb 2025 16:00It’s 100% why he fell.
