Patten on NFL radio:

If moss were in NE instead of patten, i bet they wouldn't have missed him at all. there's plenty of luck involved in who ends up on a roster. If patten caught for 1200+ yards last season, i'm sure he'd be all gay for brunell too.

but by your logic, gibbs et al have TONS of rings between them, and they seem to like brunell, and since that agrees with moss, patten is once again the loser.

Nice. Anytime someone lays a beating on Offiss, I smile.

I don't care what any of the receivers say about any of the QBs on the radio. All I care about is what Gibbs and Saunders think. They're the ones making the cuts, and they're the ones making the calls.

can someone enlighten me on why the skins would keep thrash or jacobs? all thrash did on special teams was down a couple of balls and call for fair catches. we actually have a real returner now in mr randel-el. no need to pay thrash or jacobs to be cheerleaders. and i cant believe im saying this but towards the end of the season, mr jimoh was a wiz on special teams( and alot cheaper)

Jacobs? Only Spurrier found value in him, not sure if any other team would also, it seems we are stuck with him.

Thrash, he is a cheap player that knows what to do. Those few punt/special teams play was the only thing posistive about the ST. Sure his role has the responsibilities of an intern but he is old, paid his dues, affordable, and really demonstrates heart. Everyone of the skins players and coaches sees his contributions . How can you not want him around? Just dont line him up as a wr, he is a special teams specialist. Theres no point to turn that responsibility over to a rookie or less exp. player. Not having to worry about being a wr maybe he will concentrate soley on ST and really make some big plays which can make a small difference and put us over.

thrash is our #1 gunner and draws constant double teams on kick coverage. when he's not doubled, he can down 3 balls inside the 5 in a single game. He's also a reliable WR on 3rd downs, even though his yardage stats will never be impressive. still, as a #5 WR, being a great ST guy means he's helping the team and not wasting a roster spot, unlike jacobs who does NOTHING.

I say we go for the best receivers. Trash is old in the tooth and for me I still remember he left us for Philly. Remember when he thought he was good. I understand he is cheap, but if he beats out Jacobs, then we should keep him. "Project Gator" is over and we move on.

Patten should make the team without a problem, if he doesn't want to be 4th, then we should trade him. I like the fact that we are strong at WR, which means we should have no issues with injuries.

We would have advance passed the 2nd round with another sure hand receiver. Jacobs had no excuse for during the Seattle game, which should have been his break out game. The game to put him on the map and he was 3 for 19. I think Thrash got hurt in the Tampa game.

Weaps

If they keep saying Patten is sharp at this point possibly he should get the 3rd spot- giving Randle El full punt/kick responsibility and alternate between the two. I would love to get back to the BMitchell days of dominance and having a guy who can set it off and add a spark. But I would like to see us display Randle El as often as possible b/c he is a hefty sum for a QB turned to WR, hes versatile Ill give him that.

Nice post! My sentiments exactly.

El didn't sign a 30mill deal to be a punt returner. he's good as a #3 anyways... mosst teams don't have two blazing fast CBs to deal with moss/el at the same time.

Well if one is incapable of this feet on his own he might as well grab hold of as many straws as he can from others no matter how futile that responce may be.

The fact is and I will spell it out for the both of you is if luck plays a part in an individuals success than Brunell is first in line, he has the benefit of a miscalculation by Gibbs and a 43 mil mistake, and yes I said a mistake, Gibbs needed Brunell like a truck driver needs hemroids, Gibbs has proven he can win with what I would call below average talent in both Rypien and Williams and he made an all pro out of Schroeder, Theisman was the only real instinctive QB he had in DC, the fact is yes Gibbs can win with Brunell but he recieved a QB who has more ware and tear on him than many QB's his age, the Jags were about to release him because nobody really wanted the guy because the word was he no longer can take a hit so he just dumps the ball at the slightest sign of pressure, sound familar?

The fact is Gibbs has done nothing but sing Campbells praises since he's arrived so yes he does concur with Patten on Campbell.

Please explain how Patten can be a top WR on the elite team in the NFL and join us and disapear? Brunell the wonder QB to many, played about as bad of a season in 2004 that I have ever seen and please spare all the injury conspearacies, he then gets right back on track and does absoltuly nothing for the first 2 games until he realized with 2 minutes to go in dallas that the cowboys decieded to cover Moss with Roy Williams.

Our defense put us in the playoffs, PERIOD, and they did it in spite of his horrific play, did he have some good games along the way? Yes, but even a broken clock is right twice a day, he did nothing more than any other average QB could have done under the circumstances.

Perhaps you missed our stretch run where Brunell played as bad as a QB can play, where we set a playoff record for fewest yards for a winning team in the playoffs against Tampa, Brunell was the reason our defense was running on empty by years end, and they still almost pulled one out against Seattle. Yes Brunells last 3 games resembled most of the games he has played in a Skins uniform, pewtrid, I don't see how anyone can be comfortable with Brunell at the helm for what should be a SB run this season. The problem is regardless of who has said what of Campbell, not Patten, not Gibbs or anyone else really knows for sure how he will respond in a real game so right now our season rests on Brunell.

But there is a light that shines on Brunell or as you would call it LUCK, it's Gibbs desire to make his signing pan out, and 1 Al Saunders, this combination just may be enough to get this team to the SB, yes when it comes to luck lets hear it for Brunell he has the best defensive coor. in the game to keep him in games and now he has the best offensive coor. in the game to get him going.

When we won in 88' Williams job was to not lose the games, that will become Brunells job, just don't lose it.

But by your logic having Brady throwing to Moss Moss would have doubled his TD's last season, Brady has never had a talent at WR like Moss, and considering what he's accomplished that's a major compliment for Moss he's just that good.

Bottom line anyone who attended the games saw what was going on with Brunell he looked at Moss if he was covered he went immediatly to Cooley and if that wasen't there he threw it away, a third WR regardless of who it was didn't matter, Brunell wasen't going to hold the ball long enough to look for him, and as stated by Aikmen we had WR's open after the first 2 options but by the time Brunell found them they were to far downfield and Brunell didn't have the arm to reach them, kind of what was happening to Patten early on. If Patten wasen't a success before he arrived you would have a case, but he was surrounded by plenty of talent at the WR position in NE and flourished, the problem wasen't Patten it was Brunell, Brady never had a problem finding Patten.

So in closing to say Patten knows nothing about the differnce between a good QB and a lowsey one isn't fair, he's been on the recieving end of many passes from who might go down as the best ever in Brady, and the fact is if Brunell doesn't get us to the SB this season his signing will have been a complete waste of time and money, because theres no way Campbell sits another year, the fact is he shouldn't be sittting this year but this team as a whole is far ahead of him right now, and nobody knows if he can step in like big ben and hit the ground running.

What is nfl radio? is that sirius or xm?
Sirius -- and I love it.

Wha? Tom Brady might be the greatest ever because he's never had anyone to throw to? Patten is a great reciever because he played with Brady? Brunell is terrible because he doesnt make mistakes? Brunell's progressionary reads are bad because Troy Aikman can make an observation pertaining more to the offense in general than Brunell? The Brunell signing is a complete failure if he doesn't win a super bowl? What's next, Dan Marino's a bust? I mean, he never won a super bowl with Miami.

And I think somewhere in there you mention that Gibbs is a great coach, and the fact that he trusts Brunell should be a black mark against him (MB) because Gibbs won SBs with 3 different QBs.

Do you hate quarterbacks or something? Or just Brunell specifically?

This post is illogical, tough to follow, contradiciting and in many cases, downright wrong.
