I’ve always thought announcers are a little too hard on receivers, possibly because there are so many old QBs in the booth.

There’s a lot of “maybe not a perfect ball but you have to catch that!” when the replay actually shows the ball on his wrong shoulder, or behind him while the route has him sprinting, or the poor kid is completely screened by a closing defender on an underthrown ball. A lot of times it was a miracle the receiver got a hand on it at all, but as soon as he does it becomes his fault.

And to that point, it’s maybe not the receivers Kelly will murder, but the entire defense. They’re cooked.
