I'm agreeing with you on much of that. It's disappointing the way Patten has been playing, particularly because of all the noise we've heard about how Patten isn't concerned with the WR situation and "just wants the opportunity to play". It hasn't looked that way so far.

And I'm also open to your point about young blood. We're talking about a 5th receiver spot. This isn't a guy we will be using on offense that often, so having a potential upside, even one that isn't readily apparent, goes a big way.

The way I look at it is this: if Moss, ARE, or Lloyd get injured, who do I want coming in on 3 receiver sets? Is it Espy, or is it Patten? I want Patten. I think he's proven himself as a reliable 3rd receiver in this league, and I just don't know about Espy. I'll take the sure bet any day.
