Bills Receivers worst in drops in the NFL since Brady took over

It's hard to determine why this happened, but once Brady took over, Buffalo had:

 

21 drops

 

10.1% drop rate

 

Both worst in the NFL over that span


i wonder if this could mean, in part, that Josh was less accurate and/or the receivers’ routes weren’t as accurate— which could be a reflection of running new stuff?

I think it's that Brady implemented more down the field passes, which are harder to catch--and priority #1 in the draft is a field stretching WR who can track the ball and actually catch it--along with a complete shift in philosophy getting Diggs the ball behind the LOS on those bubble screens, which seemed kinda foreign to him and was where some of his drops were.

As much as I liked how Brady did, those bubble screens to Diggs behind the LOS made no sense to me.  Diggs has never been a "yards after catch" guy for the most part, and he's not built nor is he comfortable being essentially a running back in my view.  He is not always averse to contact but there are plenty of plays where he avoids it.  I'm guessing one or more drops on those screens was hearing the footsteps of the defenders.  I am all for trying new things, but I was never a fan of those bubble screens to Diggs.
