What a great guy...we need more unselfish players like him in today's game!!

pattens a good pro. didnt he play for parcells way back when?

That Guy · 07-17-2006, 05:22 PM

no new info, but its good to know he wants to stick it out.

I personally don't understand all the Taylor hate and all the Patten love. But that's me~

Mattyk · 07-17-2006, 10:08 PM

Patten is a proven vet, Jacobs hasn't proven anything.

That's the difference.

BigSKINBauer · 07-18-2006, 03:46 AM

Many of the skin fans i personally know are all up on jacobs and hate the hell out of patten. I don't want jacobs taking up a spot on our team but he is so damn good in the off-season. I don't understand why he just isn't good on the field. I feel the second i give up he is going to be amazing. I also can see him being a monster on another team. I trust the coaching staff to make the best decisions. This team is not run by danny boy anymore. Its gibbs' team and the expert coaching staff making the calls. They did a good job evaluating gardner mccants and coles. All have been sucky where ever they go. If they drop either patten or jacobs off our team i will trust their choice. I think it would be valuable to have all 6 be on the team this year and leave one of them inactive.

I would pick patten over jacobs right now.

Matty, it's not fair to evaluate Patten in NE and Jacobs in his first couple years. Most WRs are fairly slow to develop, and I really didn't see where Jacobs got a huge chance last year. It seems like Brunell makes about 2-3 reads and then runs, falls down, or throws the ball out of bounds. THe only ball I can remember him tossing towards Jacobs was a very poorly thrown pass that Jacobs went to try to knock down but the Bucs DB made an amazing one handed pick.

As I've said before, when I was at the second Dallas game, I saw Jacobs with good seperation nearly every play I watched him. Plus, Jacobs had the best ST hit ever last year =p

I bet we keep both and if we can a WR it's Thrash.

That Guy · 07-18-2006, 05:08 AM

jacobs hate is simply based on the fact that he's been terrible. patten has put up 800 yard seasons. and thrash is clearly the better special teamer.

dmek25 · 07-18-2006, 08:14 AM

since p ramsey left, has offiss found a new cause? the point about patten is well taken but i disagree. i think coach gibbs will put the best players on the field, the players who give the skins the best chance to win. if patten out performs either lloyd or randle el in pre season, i say he gets the call to start

He only plays little league.

Why is it not fair to compare what they've done in their careers so far?

You asked why all the hate for TJ, like I said Patten is a proven veteran in this league, bottom line. That's why he gets the benefit of the doubt, he has produced, where TJ has done nothing but been injured and been non-existent even when he's on the field. Even if you just want to compare last year Patten outproduced him with spending half the season on IR. TJ had a chance to step up last year with Patten out, and we saw nothing from him at all.

TJ is going into his 4th year now, the time for excuses and second chances are over.

Good morning to you. And just to stir up the pot a little bit, do you think that if Taylor Jacobs had Tom Brady throwing him the ball, he'd have been better?

probably, cause brady is a much better QB. that doesn't mean he'd be any good though.

dmek25 · 07-18-2006, 11:13 AM

or maybe if jacobs didnt have p ramsey throwing him the ball he would have been to the pro bowl a couple of times
