Why is David Patten on this team?

patten and thrash are simply there as bodies with numbers on their back gettin paid. they aint worth a shit. Moss, cooley, betts, sellers are our receivers.

What Patten has been good for is drawing the pass interference call. There was one that could have been called in the endzone against the Bucs but we weren't at home. Patten doesn't have the awareness to make the big plays and he certainly can not block worth a damn.

Patton needs to give some money back what a poor pick up!!! :vomit:

i think we misuse patten he is extremely fast
he should be runnin qiuck slants right across the middle and his speed is one of the reasons brunnel may be having trouble connecting with him and why defences feel the need to cause interferences, well see i think you guys give him farless credit then he deserves

19 for 193 after what? 9 games as a starter... i'd say he doesn't deserve much of anything right now.

patten's hands have been very suspect this season, which is rather suprising. im sure that next season we will once again be looking for some help there

You hit it on the head, he's very good on crossing patterns where he can run away from the defender.

As far as Patten stopping and waiting for the ball on comeback routes, Gibbs has been useing that play forever, Art Monk made a living on those type of routes, the problem is you really should have a big physical reciever who can body up on the defender, we really don't have that right now.

I still think Patten is a good #2 choice because he always give the possible of a deep threat while Moss draws doubles. Thrash can't really move as fast as Patten therefore wouldn't be considered a deep threat in turn allowing safeties to cheat more. I think it's foolish to think about cutting Patten, but he's gotta step it up to be able to complain about not seeing enough passes. It was easy being a #3 or #4 WR in NE. But he was quite sure handed. All I know is he's better in the slot in madden drawing a #3CB!

Because he's better than Rod Gardner!

The key here is that he needs to have the big plays, not just be possible to get a big play. So far this season he has not had a big play. The threat is not really there. Once Brunell and Patten hit on a couple of big plays then Defenses will respect that. So far the only big play Patten had was against the Eagles where he drew that PI call. I think that he is still getting used to the system. Next year he should do better. As for cutting him that is totaly crazy!! :woot:
