Patten is a solid #2 or #3.
People talk up Thrash like he is a God...Show me a very good #3 receiver in this league and compare them....You cant....he is at best a #4....#4 receivers spend most of the time on ST...#5 receivers are replacements for the #4 and ST only ...but Brown will be our returner and #4 this year....Bye Thrash we got a younger more skilled player that impresses the coach more than you. Mitchell doesnt really fit in. Where do you put him? #5? He wont go for that. Thrash wont want to be a #5. McCants might. Holiday would love it.
Maybe it is a good philosophy to pack yourself with talent at every position. If you have 5 - #1 receivers I guarantee you will get alot more done than if you have 5 - #5 receivers.

First you should make sure you have the so called "facts" straight, I am/was one of Rod Gardner's supporters on this site. I did not in anyway put him down, what I said was that he would be an excellent 3rd option due to him being so incosistant. Most #2 WR's are more consistant than Gardner.
As for Thrash, what are you smoking? Gibbs will not cut Thrash, period. Thrash is not God by any means, but he has alot of upside and if you watched games last year he was our #3, he was ahead of Jacobs on the depth chart.
You apparently have Brown slated to be our #4 meaning that Thrash is our #5 or is that McCants? I hate to say it but Brown will not be our #4, if he was good enough to be #4 wr material then why didnt any other team pick him up last year. He was only signed on for the last 3 or 4 games last year after being let go by buffalo after 2003.
Moss, Jacobs, Patten, Thrash, McCants that is going to be the 5 WR's next year and you can take that to the bank!!! Brown will hopefully be taking Chad Mortons spot once he is let go June 1st.
