I can only half agree with this. If we have to depend on Taylor Jacobs, then God help us.

But I see no reason why Patten can't carry the load. I think it's quite possible he could beat either Lloyd or Randle-El for the #2 job. Don't forget, Gibbs doesn't care how much money these players make. $10 million bonuses to ARE and Lloyd don't mean squat to Gibbs if Patten is the better player.

If ARE and Lloyd go down, and we're left with Moss & Patten both healthy as our starting WRs, it's not a God help us situation. It's thin, but it's still a good situation. Remember Moss's numbers last year when Patten was on the field? He can add a lot to the offense.
