In the CFL, you will see 5-8 dropped passes a game. That blows me away....and as a fan, is truly frustrating to watch.
Bit of an exaggeration there.

Take last night for example - the Stamps probably had about 7-8 drops and that was probably the worst case I've seen all year for any CFL team.

I'd say average for a CFL game is more like 3-4.

Either way, using TO as the baseline isn't really fair either. You don't see guys like Rambo and Copeland dropping those passes on a consistent basis. How much does an average NFLer WR drop the ball, not an elite one (arguably) like TO?
