The best point I guess I can make is this, who was singing Pattons praises before he was hurt, most of the questions were whats wrong with him, he's not performing like he did in New England. Now if Patton was such a big deal to the passing game, why do we have post after post, and thread after thread on our need for a #2 WR? Obviously we have one already on our roster in Patton, maybe the thread should read who's going to be our #3 reciever. Either Patton is the goods, or he is not. I do beleive right before Patton was hurt he made a comment about his lack of use in our offense, for what ever that is worth.
If we dump Jacobs so be it, although I don't really know if his failure so far is all his fault but it could really be, I don't know for sure, obviously judging him by his production he's a big bust, and maybe he is, and probably defiently as far as we are concerned.
cause patten didn't seem to be productive and individually he really wasn't (and an upgrade to production while also allowing the skins to cover for injury and provide 3 good WRs can't hurt). When you look at the numbers though the overall impact is pretty big. The only play I actually remember from patten was that 40-50yard PI call he got... either way we do need more talent there since we saw how good our other options really were.
As for jacobs, his numbers are bad, he's lack of history of production means no one bothers planning for him, and after he stinks up a game (oakland) he says things like "one of their CBs runs a 4.4 and the other a 4.2, what do you expect me to do?" There's just no killer instinct there besides the injury history. That's not the only excuse he's made either, but its the one I remember the best.
