I wouldn't write off Jacobs just yet he will finally have a chance in a real offense, whether or not he can stay healthy is another story, he is also a pretty good special teamer, I feel he's a better WR than Tharsh, but not as good on ST's, which may be an edge for Jacobs over Patten, as I believe Jacobs is a better special teamer, I see serious competition between the 3 come training camp.
I thought we had a pretty decent offense last year, I mean it only produced individual records in receiving and rushing. ;)
TJ has had plenty of opportunities to step up. Bottom line is he hasn't, I'd be really surprised to see him on the opening day roster. But then again stranger things have happened.

i think the discussion is more about money than anything else.strictly talking ability,jacobs should have been cut last year,but...money always creeps into any discussion about the nfl.patton is a proven,legit wr while mr jacobs hasnt proven anything to anybody.but he must look great at practice,because he keeps hanging around.but its probably jacobs vs. thrash for a roster spot.thrash basically occupies a roster spot because of good special teams play and a superior attitude

If TJ practices so well and we want to keep him around, move him to the practice squad!

I think Patten's tendency to bitch is a legitimate concern. Coach Joe doesn't give people who do that much of a chance to remain on his team. Gibbs said last year that he had to place Patten in IR because he couldn't afford to leave a roster spot open for so long -- thank you NFL roster rules. That's the issue that seriously needs addressing in the owner meetings.
Still, I'd taking a whining David Patten over a crybaby bum like Taylor Jacobs every single time.
And there's no way we keep 6 wideouts on the roster. This ain't the Run-n'-Shoot.

I can't see us keeping 6 WR on the roster either, not with the need for depth at RB and TE.
It's most likely going to be Moss, Randle El, Lloyd, Patten and Thrash.

I'm sure the team wants to keep him around, even if he sucks. I think it's bound to become a numbers game, and I don't see us keeping 6 WRs. Pretty much what Matty said.

can't, he already has two years of experience. its either roster or bust.
