Now, I firmly believe that the lower an attribute is the more it benefits from being raised. This is confirmed somewhat by Bort's mention of a diminishing value at higher attribute levels, and it would explain such a drastic improvement in personal performance from such a small raise. In one instance, my WR's catching was just too low to do anything with it, and in the other it was high enough to play that much better.

Catching definitely has a lot to do with whether you catch the ball or not. I'd venture to say it's by far the most important stats. However, people commonly overlook the fact that it's the main attribute considered in whether you're thrown to, so if your WR is extremely catch heavy and the other WRs on your team aren't you'll be the target, and if all you have is catching that's the only thing going into the equation in whether you catch or drop - if you have catching AND jumping AND vision, now the QB is still mostly looking at your catching yet when it gets to you, you've boosted your chance of making the catch. This is why the numbers can get a little skewed.

Well, with my receiver catching seemed to increase drops until I brought his vision up as well as jumping. At that point they dropped off dramatically; he had 4 with 88 catches this season.

for me it was carrying. Once i got my carryin to 35ish i almost never have a dropped ball.

sometimes drops can be due in part to how the QB sets up his throwing tactics, . .. I think

Bullet passes will certainly increase the number of drops. I'd also add that high strength/low vision/confidence QBs tend to overthrow a lot of short passes and that increases drops if you put them on a short passing team.
