Acme Packing Company on Matthew Golden
From the article
Matthew Golden is pretty much always open and usually he can do something about it. That's about as positive a spin as I can put on the Packers' second-year wide receiver's ongoing problems with drops... Golden currently has 16 more targets than Christian Watson, but only one more catch. He's 33 targets ahead of Tucker Kraft, but only eight catches ahead.
STACKED’s take
Golden's elite target volume undermined by NFL-leading drop rate; 16 more targets than Watson but only one more catch.
Golden is putting together a strange second year marked by elite target volume but catastrophic drop rate; he has 16 more targets than Christian Watson but only one more catch, and 33 more targets than Tucker Kraft but only eight more catches. The source notes he's 'pretty much always open' and 'clearly getting open,' but his struggles with drops are 'resulting in some unintentional comedy in the box score.' Despite being high on him after his disappointing rookie year, the source describes his second season as 'about as strange a second year as you could imagine'—legitimately great at times but fundamentally failing at 'the most basic thing you can ask of a receiver.' Drop counting is inexact, but 'pretty much any stat service' has Golden 'looking pretty bad,' though he is 'catching a lot of other passes.'
