Some receivers stop catching balls and never recover. Some receivers stop catching balls, are traded and start catching again.
Same with running backs putting the ball on the ground.
Some punt returners never get the knack and can never handle the ball cleanly.

Today's game with Will Ford, I sure wish they would have kept him around. He was good at handling the returns and Grigsby seems to be slowing down.
The thing with fumbles that I feel is lucky is who recovers the ball.
For example if a qb is drilled from behind and the ball is fumbled that's not really luck.
However when a running back puts a ball on the ground and about 19 guys dogpile onto the ball and the refs need to sort out who gets the ball there is definitely luck involved in those plays.
