comparing givens to patten is similar only in that they both came from new england. givens is bigger, stronger but not as quick. patten is very fast but small. he is also much older than givens
i liked the signing of patten, but the truth is that he is better suited forthe number 3 receiver. we need a number 2 with size and strength. also, brunell never seemed to be looking for patten or he could never find him.
just whose fault was that? pattens? brunells? i do not know, but it was obvious this year even before patten went out

i'd say it was a little more on brunnel, since brady had no problems checking 3-4 targets, whereas brunell seemed to only use half field reads (1 deep, 1 mid/short and then a dump off or toss out of bounds if those 2 options weren't there).
i'm just not sure on lloyd cause he does short arm passes and some people here raised a character issue on him... i just don't want another 50/50. Also lloyd averaged 48 yards per start whereas curtis averaged 68 per start (NEITHER had good QB play).
