Finding a #1 receiver may be more important than some think

[KajunKrazy]

I agree with you, Peter has been very good and he did drop one huge pass vs. Texas, that did not cause us to lose the game, but it was an important one. Many people in the stands near me were complaining about him dropping another one, but that was not him. Jacob Bernard dropped the other pass. Throughout Peter's career at UL, I don't remember him dropping many passes, like I said the one vs Texas was a big one, because it probably would have been an easy first down if not much more. But again, the other dropped pass that people were attributing to Peter, was actually Bernard.

You are correct he dropped one and Bernard the other. The angle on TV looked as though, even if he catches the ball, he would have been stopped well short of the first down. The commentators even said as much.

That may have been the case in the stands it looked as though he would have made it, but we did not have the luxury of the camera angle.

If the ball isn’t thrown a touch behind him it’s a first down

I’d take that bet.

[Big Poppa]

List your credentials then.

You first.

[Big Poppa]

Your were asked first and then cajun4life can list his.

You brought it up. I have nothing to prove to you.

Even if he is the most knowledgeable football person in the world that doesn’t change that he is way overestimating the drops he’s claiming on this thread.

He said Peter leads the team in drops the last two years and that is a fact.

[KajunKrazy]

Leblance is the best route runner on the team. It’s not even that close. He also leads the Cajuns in drops over the last two seasons.

You also forgot something that is very often overlooked. Probably the best blocking receiver we’ve had over the last 2 years when healthy. Coming from a wing T helped.
