Yes and no. It's his responsibility to fit the pass in the right window at the right time. It's the receivers job to catch the ball. Doubt he is throwing any harder than a jugs machine. If you start lobbing balls into tight coverage then drops become interceptions.
The bigger issue is he needs to work on a quicker release.

Ask any coach out there......touch can be taught but strength and accuracy of passing is another deal....With JB, Sende will grow ..
I really liked that throw to Phillips VS. IL.....Dropped it rite down the stove pipe!!

If the ball hits your hands, you catch the damn ball. If you have to wear gloves because the QB throws it hard, then so be it....don't complain about dropping passes because nobody throws the thing hard enough to break your hand unless Brett Favre is throwing the ball. WR's have dropped balls from Blough and from Sindelar almost equally...just that the ones they drop from Sindelar have been at key points or when there needed a play to be made.
Just have to say that when I read this the first time I read it as "Sindelar passes" and thought we were down another QB.
Can you imagine those receivers that played with Marino and Elway not catching the ball or complaining that they threw the ball too fast........
receivers aren't complaining about the passes being to fast or hard??
this is just something made up by posters on this board
I get that......but why haven't our receivers been making catches????receivers aren't complaining about the passes being to fast or hard??
this is just something made up by posters on this board
that's the ?
have any of the coaches commented as to why they think there are so many drops

I think some of the issue could be the pressure to turn plays in to big plays....and that tends to get guys looking up before locking the ball in to their hands and tucking it away. I'll point to a single play as to why I believe the issue is mostly mental lapses for guys instead of ability:
In the Minnesota game, the pass Sindelar threw to Mahoungo for the long gain on the last drive was actually a pretty poorly thrown ball that was caught below the waist and in stride. If the player is able to make a play like that and at a time when his focus is likely at a high point due to the circumstances surrounding that drive (needing points to score NOW)....I think the guys just tend to not be focused as a lot of dropped balls seem to occur in the early parts of the game where their focus and the need to score isn't as high.
From Sindelar:
"Sometimes I feel like I throw a little too hard, especially with routes that come back toward me, like a curl or something," said Sindelar, a former pitcher who can hit the 90s. "If I throw it the same speed, it comes a lot faster when they’re moving toward me and the ball is coming. When David was (No.) 1, I thought, ‘You know what? This is a great time for me to work on touch passes, getting it over linebackers and trying to make sure I give my receivers balls they can catch and not just hit them in the hands and have them drop it.' Because a lot of those are on me. I mean, I throw pretty hard. Just being able these past couple weeks to throw touch and see that completion percentage in practice is becoming a lot better is going to help us moving forward."
I like that he is taking the blame some what for the dropped passes. He is showing great leadership here and something that Brohm has shown as well.....accountability! I think Sindelar shows a marked improvement from the last time we were able to see him in a full time role against Whisky.

Love that quote. I am definitely feeling better after this week about NU than I was when Blough went down.
Agreed. That's what good leaders do.
When there's a dropped pass what you want to see is both QB and WR looking at each other saying "that's on me" and "no, that's on me".
Completely agree. Yes, the ball might have a bit more zip, but the receivers know it's coming. Catch the damned ball.
