Roddy White, WR, Falcons
White was the most talked-about player on our recent list of the NFL's most irreplaceable players, but we stand by our high opinion of the guy. Again, no receiver -- not even Andre Johnson -- caught a higher percentage of his quarterback's passes than White. He did this despite having little help around him, and while some will say that he benefits from Matt Ryan, we point to White's 2007 season. It's a virtual mirror image of his 2008 campaign, and it came catching passes from Joey Harrington, Byron Leftwich and Chris Redman. In reality, it's Ryan who has White to thank; the rookie had a DVOA of 57.6 percent on passes to White, and 17.7 percent on passes to everyone else.

So I posted the only player that mattered, however our former backup QB extrodanaire Matt Schaub also made the list.
In Dimitroff we trust
Dude.
This means that we should re-evaluate our ragging on Rowdy Roddy for all those drops…
You have opinions. Share them.
Na
drops should still be ragged, especially ones dropped in the endzone, but our little Roddy is becoming a big time WR.
In Dimitroff we trust
Aww, growin' up!
But I still chuckle when the WR coach yelled at Roddy at Mini Camp for dropping a pass.
If you wanna be a wide receiver in the NFL, you can drop #$#!@# passes!
