SKULL SESSION: OHIO STATE'S PASSING IS MORE CONSERVATIVE, MICHAEL THOMAS' CATCH RATE, PARIS JOHNSON JR. BAKING

THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS. Michael Thomas has been so good this season it's seriously starting to look unrealistic. He's basically breaks an NFL receiving record every week, and is currently on pace to comfortably break a couple of season records.

Then every now and then, I see a stat like this:



I'm sorry, 21 percentage points better than the next best guy over the past 26 years? That's like, brain melting. That's almost incomprehensible.

I said a few months ago that there was almost certainly going to be some kind of regression, and I still think that's true simply because I don't think it's humanly possible to keep up this pace. But at this point even a steep drop off in production would still give him damn good numbers.

I think it's time to consider the fact that Thomas might be the best receiver in the NFL, and that Ohio State's broke-ass 2015 offense might have done even more of a disservice to him than Ezekiel Elliott.

Third-team All-Big Ten wide receiver who immediately lights the world on fire at the next level, putting up Randy Moss numbers. Something doesn't add up there, and it makes what happened in 2015 all the more infuriating.

Now through 5 games Thomas has not caught only 3 of the 49 balls thrown to him.

That’s insane. It’s not 3 drops vs 46 catches. It’s 49 targets and 46 catches. Only three balls thrown Thomas’s way by Brees have not been caught.

His reception pace has slowed down a bit but he is still on target to break the single season total reception marker.

So many great Buckeyes in the league right now.
