Dropped passes are hurting Brian Hoyer, but the 49ers QB is still struggling

The San Francisco 49ers currently lead the NFL with 12 dropped passes, according to Pro Football Focus, and Brian Hoyer is second in the NFL with 124 yards lost because of dropped passes (h/t David Lombardi). Hoyer has struggled this season, and the drops certainly are not helping.

That being said, Hoyer’s struggles are on him as well. The 49ers quarterback is 30th in completion percentage, but PFF ranks him 26th in adjusted completion percentage. That stat counts drops as completions, and spikes, throwaways, batted passes, and hit as thrown don’t count as passes.
