    Ben has been throwing harder than ever and with more velocity than ever. He just doesn't have an AB and a (then) Juju type of receiver to make plays on the ball and compete for it.

    No one in the league could have gotten AB all his receptions as well as Ben. Give both players credit where credit is due. The current wide receiver bunch needs to step up and make those plays now. Sooooo many catchable balls. Sure, Ben could have made the pass more perfect but 99 pct of those balls dropped (and others) would have been made by AB or a young juju. I understand that's a pretty high bar. We were spoiled.

      why is JuJu dropping the ball now? AB caught most passes but he dropped a few as well. The fact that its happened to all the WR’s at the same time means something else is likely at play.

      Jugs aren’t the same as catching from a QB. If they aren’t getting reps with the QB the answer is pretty obvious.

      Young group of WR’s so we should all expect some growing pains from the young guys. Even Washington who is sure handed is bobbling his catches.

        don't Rudolph and Dobbs throw in practice when Ben doesn't?

          Guess if Ben doesn't go, they just shut practice down

          Or maybe the passes Rudolph and Dobbs throw are exceedingly easier to catch

            I would think so but its a Covid year, Fitner implied its jugs but even if its Rudolph and Dobbs... it’s not Ben.

              Roethlisberger throws too hard. The other QBs have peepee arms.
